Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 185078" data-attributes="member: 158">In any environment, when presented with two products of equally-perceived value, a consumer will naturally buy the cheaper one. In this case, if you found the creature collection good enough to buy in the first place, then you would have likely picked them up anyway. Obviously, you found them worth enough to want to own in the first place, or you would not have bought them.Any item over USD $5.00 is not really considered an "impulse buy" - so unless you had a rather large amount of cash to burn at that time, you I am assuming had to think about it for at least a few seconds before taking them to the purchase counter. You mentioned Rokugan as being a good product - what is your opinion on the two creature collections? Most reviewers seem to enjoy the books as good sources of monsters droppable into most campaigns.As for myself, if I find a product indispensible, or know it to have high praise from respected individuals, I will work to afford it even if its cost is higher than what I would normally pay. I perceived endless use out of the FRCS book - which is why I paid $40.00. I do not perceive good value (at best one-time value) out of Deities and Demigods, so I am asking to borrow it from a friend of mine who has it, to see if there is anything of renewable use in it, and therefore, perceived value.I perceive value in the Neverwinter Nights game, and when it comes out, I plan to buy it unless its price exceeds $90.00. The use and re-use I intend to gain from the game will cause the game to pay for itself, once acquired.In my opinion, for most consumers, if great value is perceived, and the funds are physically available, an item will be bought even if up to 40% to 50% higher in price than expected. Any higher than that, and the price is too high for the perceived value.</blockquote>
