What's Your Price Limit?

[GrimCo]

Only problem is, there is no universal way to determine what is fair price. It's completely subjective and depends on ratio of price and value you get out of product.

Best way would probably be - price with which both buyer and seller are reasonably satisfied.

The issue is the word 'charity' not 'fair price'.

Paying a fair price for something isn't 'charity'.

Voluntarily paying over the market price is (and over the value you get). Paying a "fair" 50 € book is akin, if the regular market price of the book would be 30 € and the value you get for it is 30 €, to buy the product for 30 € (the commercial part of the price) and giving 20 € to the author on ko-fi (the charitable part of the price) . You don't get any return, but you're acting out of good heart. A powerful motivator, that I think however works better for "fairtrade cocoa" than "fair trade books from the first world". And I totally would call buying fairtrade product a charitable act.

Edit: you can call that "tipping" if you feel the word charity isn't fitting. And outside of the US, people don't tip a lot.

Another issue: How often are new books released? And as a longtime consumer of gaming, how often are new editions released?

Ex: Chaosium puts out a new hardcover for Call of Cthulhu about 3-5 times a year which run $40-60. I can deal with that and don't buy every release. The current edition of the game is also around 10 years old. No talk I am aware of for a new edition. An edition of a game lasting 10+ years feels good and stable for me. I used to buy a LOT of White Wolf World of Darkness games, and some of their lines got new editions in under 3 years. Crazy.
