This is a question for the marketplace staff. If you look at the top 10 most profitable items in the marketplace, are they clearly inexpensive items that sold in high volumes, or are they mostly expensive items that sold moderate volume? Or is it an even mix, or something else entirely? (Like expensive items that sold record volumes)? I ask because I've got a product to put in the marketplace, and I'm trying to figure out if it would be better to price it low, high or in the middle. of course I realize that the quality of the product ultimate determines if it's successful, but for any given product I would think that there is a price point that will maximize profit, and I'm wondering if the store staff has a good idea of whether that point tends to be towards the lower price or the higher price, for items in general. My instinct says to price it low and hope for high-volume sales. I think that fosters customer appreciation also, since everyone likes a good deal. Thanks, Adam

Hi Adam, If its a quality product it will sell. I cant give out any statistics in regards to the top 10 most profitable items. From what I see the price really isnt the issue. If its a quiality product it will move. I would browse the MarketPlace and look at some products that are similar to the one you are getting ready to put out and try and find your pricing that way.
