Title: Sites to sell PDFs . . .
Post by: philreed on January 07, 2005, 02:15:03 PM
I'd like to expand to selling at other sites. Can anyone suggest PDF sales sites that are fair, easy to work with, and worth the time/effort?

You,ve obviosly discounted drivethrurpg.com, why may I ask? - not fair, not easy to work with, not worth the effort?

I'm curious as they've got a whole bunch of the big guys on their site selling pdf's at twice the price of rpgnow. Surely if they weren't selling any the store would go under or the prices would be slashed.

Actually, I haven't. I disagree with some of their decisions but continue to have very useful discussions with Steve Wieck about DTRPG.  I would not be surprised to see Ronin Arts selling PDFs at DTRPG before the end of this year.

Am I right in thinking if you sell on both that the products price has to be the same on each and that the shop link to your site is removed, as one won't allow you to undercut the other.

You are correct.

I'm sure the idea of linking ALL the sites selling the pdf came up? Please don't say they had problems with that...
