I wonder what the effect would be if you'd simply state the production cost per unit on the ordering page, while still allowing people to pay zero $.

They did, several times (breaking it down in to the $1 for production and $2 for processing/shipping like on that page). They also suggested $5 as a fair price, and pointed out that it cost them $3 to make the set one last time on a nag screen if you tried to pay $0 (fun fact: the site wouldn't let you donate anything greater than 0 but under fifty cents, since they would lose money on credit card fees).

Hey guys, I developed this site. I'll be around for a little while if you have any tech questions. Edit: Please note that this pay what you can was just for the holiday-related expansion set, not the full game.

One comment: Myself and others were initially confused by the layout of the page into thinking that CAH had turned a massive loss. It's only when you get to the bottom that there was any indication of sales.

Edit: Please note that this pay what you can was just for the holiday-related expansion set, not the full game That's good to know. Did you offer any suggested pricing for the expansion pack? i.e $10, like the other packs? Or did you only list the cost price?

I am surprised there were jerks that paid 0. Really? You can't afford give them five bucks? You spend more on beer OR lunch OR coffee in Starbucks if you feel kinky. At least humble bundle not allow you to pay 0 :)
