Yeah, my thoughts exactly. In the end he doesn't even buy it but wastes hours of his own potentially billable hours on trying alternatives and complaining. He also wastes the developer's time along the way.

Just buy the app if you like it. Put your money where your mouth is.

In fact I really enjoyed the discussion with Rafe.

I believe, that our pricing model was just the trigger for him to reflect on software pricing in general. It certainly isn't his everyday purchase decisioning scheme. :)

Pricing really is a very tricky thing. Especially for software where there is no cost of distribution. Users have to realize that there are a lot more factors that need to be taken into account than just development or delivery cost.
