https://www.amazon.com/Buying-Small-Apartment-Buildings-Successful/dp/1520291337 https://www.amazon.com/Buying-Small-Apartment-Buildings-Succ... The first version was really short, something like 80 pages and priced at $2.99, though as you can see from some reviews people apparently thought that was too short even for that price. I ended up writing what was going to be a sequel but just added it into the original and upped the price. It's been interesting to see the price elasticity of it... I actually sell about the same number of copies at $2.99 (even when it's the longer version of the book) as I do at $6.99.

Sounds like a good enough reason to test higher prices even for the short book. Some percentage of people will always complain about cost, but I (and many others) have found that you actually get more of those complaints at lower price points. At a certain threshold price: the people buying already see the value in it no matter the length, or they see the value of their time as so high that taking the time to request a refund actually has a low ROI.
