Theme Dev's charge to fix things in their theme? This normal?

Store Design

I’m running into an issue with removing items from the cart. (Store still in the building phase.) We’re using a paid theme (available from the Paid themes on Shopify’s site.) So I contacted the support staff.

The problem, which I’ll post in a second, can be researched and fixed at the low low price for $85 or so an hour. (According to the support staff) Clearly I’m not to fond of that answer. Just wondering if that’s normal for Theme owners in the Shopify universe.

The problem is that when the Remove Item is clicked the following errors are shown in FF Developer Tools.

Uncaught TypeError: c.querySelector(…) is null (for script.cart.js)

Uncaught TypeError: f is null (for script.js)

I’m slowly working my way through diffs of a backup of the theme created on day 1 (or 2-3) with today and seeing what I can find that might be the problem. Going through files in the entire directory structure trying to see what might have changed. Anyone have any ideas on this one? Or at least tell me where to look?

FWIW, I found the issue. I had commented out a part of the code thinking it was the right way to get the result I wanted. Turns out, that wasn’t the right way to do it. Oops.
