The price collusion question came from me. Let me clarify what I meant.

First, I agree with and like your price increases. Kudos to you. I think the whole WordPress software space is underpriced, which aside from the obvious results it has on a seller's income, also results in people undervaluing the amount of knowledge required and work involved in crafting quality software. (The same can be said for other software markets as well). For the most part, I find that buyers have no sense of the value they're getting for such a small amount of money, and that doesn't even take into account the support side. This leads to a lot of things, better left to another discussion.

To correct the low prices and correct the perceptions of value we see in this space, prices need to increase across the board. Also, if you're the lone company selling at this high of a price point, I believe you'll find less acceptance (not necessarily a bad thing, just saying).

How do we get the people in this space to charge what their products are worth, so we can all be fairly compensated for our work instead of gambling on the high volume/low margin game?
