The issue with virtual goods is that most people don't "get it". "Why would you spend $1 on a stupid picture?". The business model differs too much from the produce. => market. => sell. people are used to. It's all a matter of psychology and sociology and until people realize that enough to execute on it, I don't plan on having competition.

You'd spend $1 on a stupid picture because you imagine some desired outcome. This is the same reason people buy flowers for other people, and in general the same reason people buy almost anything. The fact that the cost of making a virtual flower is entirely irrelevant. () http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html
