$40 * 7000 = $280000
$60 * 5000 = $280000
Is it a harder sell at $60? Sure. But it's at least an option. I put down two at the original $40 and I'm probably not the only one. A price increase might make people less inclined to do this.
$55 * 4000 = $220000
That number might be feasible and isn't too far out of line with most LEs that you see. In the end this game would be for the collectors and I think that most collectors would't be terribly concerned with the $15 bump. Any way you look at it, it's easy to see why it's so hard to be a small publisher. That barely pays for a salary or two, let along royalties, manufacturing costs, operating expenses and real estate.
I still have no clue how Ghostlight managed that tiny 300 copy run of Elminage.
That explains everything!But at the end of the day I understand your position. I am bummed, but being an accountant I understand the number side of things.![]()
