- duado 8y agoAlmost nobody would pay $3 either, so $19 could be optimal pricing. (i.e. 1 in a million people pays $19, but only 5 in a million pays $3).
- pragmatick 8y agoI just paid $5.
- joshwcomeau 8y agoThrough the lens of "cost of a vector download", it is very expensive. I've been thinking of it a different way, though. The option exists for people who want to manage the printing themselves, and it's a much more economical version. The fine-art prints on my project start at $99, and while the profit on that varies by where it's shipping to, it's always more than 20 bucks. It doesn't cost $80 to produce and ship a 12" x 18" print. Put another way, you're not paying for an image download, you're paying for the creative energy (not to mention time) that went into producing this tool. That said, you're not the first person to bring this up, so clearly the messaging could use some work. I've lowered the price to $5 while I figure that out.
- pragmatick 8y agoI appreciate the reply. I also understand the reasoning behind it, it's just that it honestly wasn't worth that much to me. I just bought a download for $5. I don't know if 5 people would pay $19 vs 20 would pay $5, but you just got five dollars more from me that you would've otherwise :-)
