If you have an AppAnnie account you can see the grossing ranks. Looks like someone in India bought a copy. It's the #6 best-grossing iPhone/iPod app in India right now. It also peaked at #21 in Malaysia on the 29th. So it looks like 2 sales at that price. http://www.appannie.com/app/ios/519800737/ranking/#view=gros...

#22I don't understand -- why would they do this? Trying to trick someone into dropping $1k on their app? Or is there some way you can game the app store by messing with prices?

Why would apple want to ban people from dropping the price of an app from $999 to $0.99? Are they just trying to make sure that people who buy at high prices don't feel bad about their purchases?
Why would you want your customers to feel cheated? It also leads to more refund requests, which have a processing overhead.

They do it so that when they lower the price to $.99 3 days later, the robots pick up on the 10000% lower price.
