Quote - That's just it, they wouldn't sell in thousands. Couple hundred perhaps. Not thousands.
I'm involved with a sale site right now that has th ability to sell dollar items, and the owner has tried. You don't get your regular audiences coming for dollar items in droves.

I understood what you said  the first time. I was merely pointing out that freebies had reached the levels of thousands when you said they hadn't. I agree that they wouldn't be nearly as effective as merchandise. I never have understood the mentality that if it's cheap it's crap and I won't buy it, but I know that it's a prevading mentality in the market place none the less. People will download free crap in the thousands but will they buy it for a dollar? Not likely.
