What they always seem to miss on these pay what you want sites is a display of the average price people are paying. For example, I don't remember In Rainbows ever listing what the average price people were paying was.

If they showed a price that moved up or down with the herd, I bet you'd get more people paying that price or more, especially if you removed all the zeros from the average :)

Wouldn't removing all the zeros be a bit dishonest? An average price certainly includes all those that opted to pay $0, otherwise you don't have an accurate and honest representation of the data.

Doesn't have to be. It could just be:

Average price of those who paid at least $0.01: $5.87

Or just "Average price of those who paid: $5.87"
