Not meaning to dispute any of your points or anything, I just want to say that software pricing is completely than pricing real-world inventory. The marginal cost involved in producing and warehousing one additional copy of a software application is, effectively, zero. That's not the case with the physical products in a store having a "going out of business" sale. And on the issue of software pricing, Joel Spolsky has this informative article: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CamelsandRubberDuckies.html Before you read it, take a guess as to what he concludes is the best price for his software product: a. $49.99 b. $99.99 c. $149.99 d. $199.99 e. $249.99 f. $299.99 g. $349.99 h. $399.99 (it's a very long article, but extremely entertaining, as is most of his writing) -- David W.
