While it was mentioned in the thread, not everyone reads the whole thing and many took the poll before they read the price. So, you may have groups viewing it as 6.99 through 8.99 and groups thinking of a different kind of paperback. Something more D&D related: 19.99 through 29.99. I'm also willing to bet that most view above average price as being no more than 20% or 30% higher. So, assuming 30% and top price mentioned, they're looking at 11.69 and 38.98, respectively. And that may be pushing the line (or beyond) for most of those willing to pay above average. Now, those familiar with Bad Axe probably expect amazing things from you Wulf. A lot of readers (and authors) don't really think you're going to charge the high amounts but just think you're checking your options, which may affect the poll. I'd expect far different results if I were the one to have opened it. And even more drastic changes had it been Morrus, Eric, Hong, or Horacio. Like it or not, you being you affects your results, both positively and negitively. [Edit: Added the following.] Ah, forgot.  I'd expect both sides to move around.  Some of those who say they would never buy it, ever, may change their mind when they see it online or, more likely, in a gaming store.  And some of those who say they would pay above average won't purchase it at all. Normally, I'd say that the two would average out but so many more say they're willing to buy it than not.  In this case I think we're looking at a slight drop with poll results vs. actual sales.  I'm going to say 5-10% based on my gut.  My head is calling out 20%. How'd I do?</blockquote>
