<< For East Europe, the price around $250 – $300 is simply unacceptable. >> >Be realistic Pavel, it is a very reasonable price level. Some IPAS routines >are the result of many years of studying, hard work and substantial I am realistic. I'm also IPAS developer, so I know how long was the studying phase. But I'm living in the East Europe, so I know that from the bussiness point of view, the mentioned IPAS price is unacceptable. I am sure, that it is better to get less money than to sell nothing. >I don't think the price for the US market is higher just because those >companies want to rip off the rich, decadent Americans <big <G>>. You are >forgetting the cost of translation of manuals, different packaging, marketing, >support and distribution. Those costs are substantial in the US simply because >of the distance, the size and the quality of the US market. Yes, you are right. For US market, it is necessary to have better support, manuals, package etc. So the prices are higher. BTW, your words about ripping off the Americans is not so unreal. If you as a foreigner will come to Prague, your price for hotel will be 100% higher than for me as a Czech. It is a normal practice here. All hotels, restaurants etc. have special prices for foreigners. I think that this is terrible, but this practice exists. >Ok, tell me why didn't you buy 3D Studio and IPAS toolkit then? You got it for >free and then you expect someone who has to pay the full price to sell their I wanted to buy, but in the Autodesk office told me that this is a normal practice to get the 3DS and Toolkit as a registered MM developer. .. will continue
