I think it boils down to value, and perceptions. I don't think it matters much on the low end of the scale. What is $2.50 among friends, anyway? If the book is garbage, people aren't going to buy it (or at least shouldn't) for $0.50 or $4.50.In general, I think the review should be based on the merits of the product itself. Buying crap for only $1 is still buying crap, IMHO. Even if it was cheap.OTOH, spending $40 for a mediocre book of suspect quality might warrant a discussion of the cost. $40 might get you great production values, but if the content isn't there, it's still a book of nice looking crap.Lastly, it's a personal thing. For example, I recently reviewed EN Arsenal: Whips. It was a well done product, and would be a great addition to anyone who wanted to get more out of whips in their game. If you're not going to use whips, or don't care for all the crunchy bits that it had, then the product would be useless even if it were free. So, to some degree price is dictated by usefulness and personal value. Some people might be willing to pay more for some products over other people. So, to say something is "too expensive" is a bit subjective. "too expensive for whom?"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't spend too much time talking about price - write the review based on the product itself, unless the price just seems too far out of line with the value.</blockquote>
