But what if you sell 250,000 books for full price and then lower the price the to the point where people will buy another 750,000? Won't that make a larger profit or -- if we are talking about a book with a multi-million dollar advance -- a lesser loss than if the lower price was charged from the start?
However, maybe you weren't thinking that the million books were all the same titles, and were thinking that the lower prices are spread across the entire market life of the books, during which prices change. In that case, lots more variables are going to come into play. You could then be right, but I don't see how we would know it.
