So, the status of the pricing experiment I mentioned in the last post...
THE MARS MONOPOLY is selling at the same pace as the other title priced half as much.
Unfortunately, that shows the opposite of the assertion that if the price of THE MARS MONOPOLY were $5-ish it would outperform a $9.99 price. So far it's earning about twice as much as the $5 variant.
This is still consistent with my personal theory, that the price of a book is significantly less relevant to sales than the story itself, i.e. the content inside it (and, quite possibly, the cover, reviews, and other kinds of non-price-related aspects).
It's only one data point, though in line with what we've found before. What do you all think about this?
