Isn't it obvious then that the price has to be decide with respect to the targeted byers? If you sell an optional tool that makes the computer a little easier to use, then the customers will mainly be individual home users. And there you can't ask for $50 - most people will then rather not buy it, while something before $15 is easy for them to spend. OTOH, if you have a product that's bought mainly in businesses, then you must make it much higher priced. And if it's a home user product that offers a solution where none exists yet, then you _may_ price it highl.y I think there's nothing wrong with $1x programs. Many of those APE modules for the Mac are of this category and I'd not have bought any of them if they'd be over $20 per piece. Sure, you can start explaining to me why I'd still get a good deal out of it even when paying $40 for one of these, but I just won't do it. And you can't argue with your potential customers one by one why they should pay that "high" price.
