So, of the people paying $1 for the product, you know that half of them would gladly pay $2? Sounds like it's time for 2 versions of the product : (i) The almost-full-featured version ($1) and (ii) The super-duper gold-plated version ($2). The removed feature doesn't even have to be very useful : You might lose 10% of the $1 value people, but snag 25% of the $2 value people (who just want some justification for payin…

I think that's the future pricing model for a lot of software products.

Think of games, for example, where you could sell the basic version for $5, then big chunks of DLC for a few dollars apiece. So you get your game into the hands of anyone willing to pay a small fee, in the hope that those who like it will continue to pay additional small fees for more content.

Are you being a smart ass? You think perfect justice is easy? God said if you don't think there's justice, you're calling Him lazy. Bible has record of guy getting double punishment for his sins. Praise God, is my plan, you can dispraise Him, if you like.

All the Christians say the world is run by Satan! ROFLMAO. God said war was "servicemen competing". Seriously, what would teenage boy video games look like if war had never happened? People prolly die because it gets boring.

those two or three distinct foreign trades should happen to be carried on by two or three distinct merchants, of whom the second buys the goods imported by the first, and the third buys those imported by the second, in order to export them again, each merchant, indeed, will, in this case, receive the returns of his own capital more quickly; but the final returns of the whole capital employed in the trade will be just as slow as ever. Whether the whole capital employed in such a round about trade bel

I'm kinda like Jewish Christian. (God's laughing) Jesus was Jewish. Ask a Christian how Jesus is different from Jewish, most would probably guess wrong.

lue of work, capable of purchasing, either to himself, or to some other person, an equal half-yearly revenue. The value, therefore, of what has been consumed and produced during these six months, is equal, not to ten, but to twenty pounds. It is possible, indeed, that no more than ten pounds worth of this value may ever have existed at any one moment of time. But if the ten pounds worth of corn and other necessaries which were consumed by the artificer, had been consumed by a soldier, or by a menial

t more pebbles than I could count struck him full on the body with such force that they brought him to the ground; and the instant he fell the student pounced upon him, snatched the basin from his head, and with it struck three or four blows on his shoulders, and as many more on the ground, knocking it almost to pieces. They then stripped him of a jacket that he wore over his armour, and they would have stripped off his stockings if his greaves had not prevented them. From Sancho they took his coat,

Somebody's not too bright calling God, unjust! I should just shut up, fools!

First, Hollywood, made Roots as dramatic as possible. Slaves were valuable property so their health was important. Study the movie Titanic with poor being raucus and rich being stuuffy. Who has more freedom, Obama, or a slave? Which can swear or scratch his balls? White people in the south had a code of behavior and had to live in fear of revolt. I walk down the street and sweat when blacks are around. Jesse Jackson said he heard footsteps and looked over his shoulder and was relieved it was a white person. God said "sports" on the topic of racism.

28:5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.

28:6 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

28:7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.

In his position I might stick with a higher price. I'll sell fewer units meaning there's not as many clients to support while making the same revenue.

At the lower price, you produce a lot more consumer surplus. This is valuable if you're the charitable type.

What is "consumer surplus"?

In some sense it is irrelevant whether or not revenue is independent of price...if you're extrapolating from that dataset, then you really need to give yourself a few good whacks on the head with a stats text. I mean, N=2? Give me a break.

Well, you can't just go changing the price of your app every week just to see what happens. I expect they wrote the blog post to see if anyone else had observed something similar.

It's hard to do that with a product that's specialized in removing features

So charge more for removing even more features. Call it Zen instead of Pro.

Let's say there was an product that you were willing to pay $10 for, but someone was selling it for only $6. By purchasing the product you get $4 worth of consumer surplus.

In general you probably get at least a bit of consumer surplus for everything you buy. The more surplus, the easier the decision to purchase (Of couse I would like to buy that brand new MacBook Pro for 10 bucks, thank you good sir!).
