Im getting quotes of $85k and $50k for an app. Should I bother?

[marc100]

I have a very small online store that I hope to grow and have a mobile version, but I want to get an app for it because the mobile version doesnt have features some customers want.
Since the mobile version is hosted I cant touch the code, so I have to make a mobile app from scratch.

I've been asking around and gotten quotes of $85k for an app, or $50k. Someone said $35k for something very barebones.
I dont have anywhere near that kind of money.

I went on elance and found cheap developers from offshore companies but I dont know if I trust them, I hear so many bad stories.

Should I bother? Or just skip it and keep trying to grow my business online? and go mobile if/when I can afford it down the road?
