I don't know. I think the feeling of getting it cheaper if you jump on early outweighs it.

The early momentum is great, but the problem is sales will basically stop after the price hits a certain level.

yeah just like at apple where people stop paying absurd prices for stuff ;D

Cute idea. Note that it was just changed to go up by $20 per logo sold, but that still doesn't really solve the economic problems posed by some of the comments.

I'm wondering if it will continue to decrease as demand decreases. If the amount was eventually lowered to go up by something like $5, it might be sustainable for quite a while...

After spending much time among entrepreneurs I find that there are very few with a "business" mind. Great idea, horrible model. This pricing model is so far out of left field that I had to do some research to see if it's ever been successful. It hasn't. Although https://github.com/metafizzy is kinda interesting (what this websites UI is based off of)

Flaws notwithstanding, I appreciate the sense of urgency this pricing model imparts. "Buy now, or pay more!"

I can imagine that the good icons are taken first. But paradoxically, they are also priced the cheapest, while the really ugly icons end up being most expensive.

Strange.

Price goes up $40 per logo sold? So, after you sell 10 more logos, it'll be ($40*10) + $120(current price) = $520 per logo? Seems like a strange pricing strategy. I guess it increases the "buy it now" urge, but at some point it will kill sales. I guess when it stabilizes you can just say "ok, that's what people are willing to pay for these". So perhaps it's a good way to explore pricing...

When I first opened the site, it was $120 per logo, with 2 logos listed when filtered for "sold". Now it's at $200 per logo, with 4 in the "sold" category. So yes, it looks like the price per logo is increasing by $40 every time a logo is sold.

One hour after your comment with 10 logos sold it says it will increase by $20:

> Any logo: $420 . Price increases by $20 with each logo sold.

Some of these look eerily familiar, and I wonder if they might infringe upon a Trade Mark...

For example: Pizza's Horse Mane — http://logo.pizza/horse-mane eSports organization Team Liquid — http://www.teamliquid.net

The sheriff looks too much like the logo for Natty Bo beer.

Wouldn't it make more sense that the price would go down as more are purchased, as the most popular logos are already taken? Is someone really going to pay $1000 for 'Mr. Grin'

I think he wants people to hurry and buy it now before it goes up, rather than holding off and wait until it gets cheap enough. That's a classical business move, like any "time limited sale", force people to buy it right now before they have the time to think whether they need it or not.

Yep. This isn't a store, it's an event. The price model is about introducing time pressure to motivate you to buy right now rather than take the time to investigate alternatives. If the price reduced as more were sold, it would motivate a competition around "how long can I risk waiting for the price to go down?" which would lead to people leaving and forgetting to come back.

The pricing model could be the logical conclusion to some basic behavioural economics insights. Feeling of a loss >> feeling of a win. Thus you create an ever present feeling of that potential loss (missing out on the lower price) which forces potential buyers to act to lessen that feeling of possible pain as opposed to the standard approach of selling based on the feeling of a win (my nice and shiny logo). This idea could probably also be leveraged to combat procrastination somehow. It also has that novelty factor of the pay per pixel advertising from back in the day. Neat :)

I guess the only problem is that the last logo shouldn't sell easily (without adding more).

make that $420, despite arguments against (that I agree with) this model .... its working.

Wait, if it increases $40 per, how did it go from $320 to $420. Need a "fishy" logo. :)

Any logo: $420 . Price increases by $20 with each logo sold.
