There's a free version of Gumroad and you can sell things with a pay what you want scheme: https://help.gumroad.com/11164-Payments/pay-what-you-want-pr...
The premium version of Gumroad is $10 per month, and reduces the cut they take.
There's leanpub too, though I don't know if you can upload an already made pdf. Worth checking out though.

I've bought PDFs where I already had all the information just to support the author. The hard part is letting the people who know about your book already know that they can buy a hard copy/support your work.

I think learnpub does this. Minimum price and suggested price.

Do you mean my book? Or the fact that one can self publish books? :)
currently the book is on github and gitbooks, so I doubt if anyone would pay for the pdf :-)
