I'm not slamming it, I'm just saying that its not for me. As a consumer, I don't see any value in your point #2, and I see very little value in point #3.  Usually, I'll decide to buy something from a particular author based on the previews, reviews and other sources. The fact that RPGnow has a minimum checkout means that I can't really get the benefits you mention unless I spend at least $5 in the first place. So is there really value in paying 10 times as much for 1 prestige class? You have still got to spend another $4 on other things just to check out.  (note I'm not attacking your argument, just stating my views as a consumer).  As a businessman, I understand your points and I see the irrefutable evidence in my own sales of Nature's Wrath (which is a reprint of selected material from the Codex plus a few new ideas), The <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=2176&" target="_blank">Bane Ledger </a> (which sells for $3.33), and the various spell books and the <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=2790&" target="_blank">Spell Bundle</a> that prove people want to buy material under that agreement (higher price for selected -specific material). As I said, I plan to do a few more smallish titles in 2-3 dollar range.  It’s an angle I'm working in my own sales. I'm just not taking it as far as others might, and I'm doing some of it retroactively.  I guess what I'm saying is it seems too far, in my opinion, to sell one class or one prestige class at a time. Selling a small group of things (12 of This Stuff, 22 of That Stuff), seems more palatable.  That would be my boat, as far as PDF buying goes anyway.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Good point. I've been thinking about that too...</blockquote>
