Quoted: $36k? Sounds about right, to me. To be honest, as important as purchasing is, 60k is kind of high for a job like that.

It depends on the field and their knowledge and experience.
You won't pay 40K for a buyer who purchases office supplies for a company but I would be happy to pay 75K for someone who has enough knowledge and experience to buy copper from China and then ship it to Turkey to make Cat 5 Enhanced shielded cables then ship cables to Mexico to make patch cables to sell in western Europe. A good buyer can set up such a system and save our company $1 million per year so I have no problem to pay such person 75K.
ETA if my buyer can lower our cost of a 6' 120V power cord by 4 cents and reduce the cost of Air freight from Asia to US and Asia to Germany by just 10 cents per kilogram we would save about $120,000 per year. Thats just on one project.
