An Experiment in Sliding Scale Pricing
Hey all.
So I'm trying out a new thing! I've decided that my eBooks are going to be priced not based on what I think they're worth, but on what the customer decides to pay. It's not totally crazy (I've seen this before) and I'm really interested in the results because I want to see if I can make it go as a permanent model.
This isn't super-crazy. It's been done before with video games, though mostly as a special promotion, rather than as a semi-permanent affair. I'm hoping that this will lead new people to check out the games and play them, though if it doesn't it'll be a nice thing for the people that were going to check out and play the games anyway.
Anyway, <a href="http://swingpad.com/dustyboots/wordpress/?p=294">here's the formal announcement. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or just help me promote this.
