My sales are fairly modest so the data points are small, but take that for what you will.

It helps confirm/support the experience that Vydorscope has reported. I was thinking that I might try something similar once I finished my first series, though I was thinking I would try free/cheap only for a limited period only* - probably some months - did you consider that option?
(* That's assuming I don't get swamped with sales in the mean time, it seems a pretty safe assumption 
.)
