You see prices going up becuase of the ESD sites. They take up to 55% of each and every sale. They also can, without the developer's permission sell it at a discount. The developer's take is from the reduced sale price. Although, I won't retire on what I make, I use to make a good $100-$200 a month, now I am lucky to make $100 every 3 months. It also amazes me that people will do anything to get a free registration code for a $10 product.
