Personally I wouldn't take less than $350/day plus expenses but thats just me. If I'm flying something special or someplace tricky I'm obviously going to charger more for that but this looks to me like he's just acting as a ferry pilot broker.
The appeal is for lower-time pilots to accept minimum wage (or free) to ferry... you'll see 'ads' appear called "great time building" or something like that... just the expense of hotel/airfare. In so many words it say that if you're not an airline pilot (or have jumpseat priv.) than you shouldn't charge the full rate of $250/day.
