I rarely on principle download (or add to any of my collections) anything over the going price rate of 50 GC. It really has to be something special before Im willing to pay extra. This has nothing to do with how much money I may or may not have, but that I simply wont be part of the process that helps to inflate prices. To make up for what the extra charge forum charges the uploader (which seems rather outrages and unnecessary to me) I rate when I download if there arent any problems. I also think the uploader should be conscious of the collective download cost, that is price + all files cost together when pricing.
But most of all I think that if people price their patterns too high it simply wont sell. I had uploaded some patterns that I actually mispriced as I was new to the forum (I meant them to be free- so was trying to "price" them at the forum cost of 20 GC, later prices 10 GC I believe), which sold only a little for a good reason but when the forum automatically raised them to 50 GC not at all. And I knew it the moment it happened. They were now overpriced. In other words I made more off my patterns when they cost less and what people thought what they were worth, than now. Especially now when there is such a demand on peoples coins. So if people price something at 100, it will depend on how many people think that pattern is really worth the 100 GC plus the forum costs. Lower it and there will be many more people likely to buy. I have noticed that most people still consider 50 GC in xstitch to be the standard even if prices are quickly rising. Lets keep it there. |
