No doubt the starting price was too low.
People usually think that if something is free
or low price it isn't worth anything.
Should have ask $25 or to $50.
Take Debian GNU/Linux for example. You can download
the whole operating system from the internet for free.
Must not be very good. Widows 98 SE cost me $200 and
it is put out by the richest company in the world. Must
be the best and Microsoft will stand behind it. NOT. Read
the license agreement. They are not responsible for anything.
You are on your own.
My wife wanted to sell a real nice couch for $150. Put a
real attractive ad in our local newspaper. The ad ran just
as my wife had written it, except the price was listed as
$15. Absolutely no calls at all.
