What weird pricing. Why not just make them $50 each? Or $49 if they have a policy that prices end with the digit 9.

- paranoidrobot 4y agoBecause it raises the barrier to entry and probably has a serious impact on the number of issues raised.
- Reason077 4y agoForcing multiple-unit pricing likely increases sales. You probably came to the purchase page just needing one. But you’re probably 𝖽̶𝖾̶𝗌̶𝗉̶𝖾̶𝗋̶𝖺̶𝗍̶𝖾̶ motivated enough to pay extra for a bundle of two if you have to! You’ll justify it by telling yourself “I might need the second one later”, but I’ll bet a lot of them end up going unused. Raising the entry price slightly perhaps also makes people think a little harder about whether they really need to use a TSI or whether other support channels (Stack Overflow? Reddit?) might be more appropriate.
- jandrese 4y agoBut why would you ever buy they 5 pack? Is the purchasing a real hassle? At least with the 2 pack you are probably only going to waste one.
- smalley 4y agoI could imagine a corporate customer who might be slightly less cost sensitive but have employees that would prefer not to go through a purchase order approval process multiple times might be where purchases like that get made
