Mind sharing? I didn't see apps on your site.

  I don't want to get into specifics because I have abandoned their development and support a long time ago. The first one was a developer tool priced around $10, the second one was a more generic IT productivity tool priced around $5. They've both made around $10-15K over the years. In the end I had to abandon them because sales started to drop more and more every month and continued development didn't seem to stop that.

    Right, this is the fate of many apps on the Mac App Store. Eventually you run out of people you are able to reach who are willing to purchase your app. Because you cannot charge for updates, this means that continued development and support becomes unsustainable at some point.
