[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 2245659, member: 812"] I don't know for sure, but I suspect that was a reality check on what the sales figures were like. There's always a juggling act, a bit of risk-taking when you try to set a price point -- there's only so many sales you're going to make, so you need to set a price that at least has you making a profit (or breaking even). I suspect (and this is rank speculation) that a few years ago people had expectations for their products, and they set their prices accordingly. The reality wasn't as rosy as they thought, and so there was a price increase as people looked for the right price that would bring them sustainable revenue. I have no data to back that up, but it makes sense to me. And it also jibes with my problems in starting up my own product line -- I have no idea what sales are going to be like, so trying to decide what the product should look like, how much I can afford to spend on creating it and how low I can set the price are all complete guesses on my part. And if I'm wrong, I'll have to either make adjustments or throw in the towel. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
