There seems to be a bit of a bug in this new version. When the "Resource Base Price" cell is selected, it tries to download the program again!

Well, learn something new every day. I set the "Base URL" in the Properties, and I guessed its purpose wrong. The fixed one is up, but all you have to do to get rid of it is to go to File|Properties, and under the "Summary" tab, delete the data in the "Hyperlink Base" box.

Nah...you may just be 'dropping your pants' for no reason (on the price). It's entirely possible that you could sell just as many at 40k, 45k, 50k and beyond...if you pick your price point and stay with it.

In addition, moving your pricing up little by little over time is also a good thing. I used to sell a fully 'loaded' Probot (1 yr + ago) for like 40-45k.

I didn't just start at 80k. I did pricing 'elasticity' testing to find that good middle ground between low-balling on the price and never making a sale (based on price alone).


Most of my sales have never been based solely on price though (another good tip to the up and coming MDEs out there)...
