I certainly understand what you are saying. However, when certain people shop... (my mom and grandma included) if the price is lower that most of the other similar items they assume it is because it is cheap or no good. The whole "you get what you payfor mentality".
Although your "you pay for what you get" reverses this on its head. But, I wonder if even though people are not paying upfront they see the prices and wonder "how good could it be"?
Then again, I see most people here thing ebooks should be less expensive even when sold by the publisher... so perhaps I am all wet.
So, ask $3 then send the extra $1.50 to Darfur or something.
