Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

In the beginning, I was pricing them at $9.99 a copy for my 1st Gen subs.  2nd Gen needed to be priced at $10.99, and then 11.99.  3rd Gen needed $11.99, then $12.99, then $13.99.  4th Gen started at $14.95 a copy and went up each year until they hit their current $24.95.  5th Gen subs went to $89.95 for a single stage.  5.5G subs started at $114.95 a single stage.  And now 5.75G is making 5.5G look old, and the prices will go up to match soon.

How long have you been making subs? I'm interested to hear the story.

I started making subs for myself back in 1992.  I started selling them on ebay in 2002 or 2003, IIRC.  That was when they were $9.99 a copy.

So the price of 5.75G is going to go up to whatever the models tell me to raise it to.  And the price of a single stage 6G is most likely to be $299.95 a copy, which is what the models showed me a couple years back.

I think this is fair. I really do think your pricing model is justified.

I can't think of a better way to do it.
