[QUOTE="rpghost, post: 469624, member: 2834"] This is a point I've been trying to get across from day one. So many vendors would come to me wanting to sell their product for $2 or $3. What's the point when the processing charges eat up a large portion of the sale as well? People have to realize that there is a "perceived" quality besides the true quality. For example, a good book priced at $3 might sell a few more copies then if it was at $6.95 but, but the chances are you'd not make up for the lost margin at all. As a rule of thumb I don't like seen PDF's go for less then $5 if at all possible. I'd have to second that ... RPGNow grows steadily and with more and more Out-Of-Print works coming to us (WEG, Atlas, Mongoose, Pinnacle, etc) we expect to see more acceptance of this format for both new AND old product. I would never say do PDF _instead_ of print, but myself, Monte Cook, Bastin Press, and RPG Objects firmly believe that doing PDF _and_ print runs. Just get the bugs worked out of your PDF first and then send it to the printers :) As for our POD options - we're still finalizing them. But the concept of having our vendors pre-pay for 10 copy runs and then warehousing them at RPGShop.com has been well recieved from the Vendors (which was our major hurdle in the past for POD). The printer we're thinking of using isn't the one mentioned above, but POD services are getting very cheap and very high quality. Just ask Goodman Games. Morrus, so you think a 3 week top list would be better? James [url]http://www.RPGNow.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
