PG Pricing

[campsawyer]

An excellent and difficult question. I am currently, despite the recession and several cuts in pay, able to continue buying new PG product, but I alway take advantage of pre-orders, as I suspect all Gold Clubbers do, so my price for Saipan was less than $60. Once every 4 to 6 months I could see paying $75 for a boxed PG game, and there are still enough areas to be covered that a dozen more could be done.

How much more are customers willing to pay? It sounds more and more like Sword of David will be a EFD sized product priced around $125 if die cut and prohibitively more if lasered. I'm beginning to fear that this may be the back-breaker for AP.


I think books with countersets or maps will be a bigger source of revenue for AP.
Currently they provide 30 scenarios and a campaign sequence with counters for $30 ($24 Gold Club), which is probably underpriced. Compare 60 scenarios with 2 countersheets and 2 campaign sequences with 40 scenarios, 4 maps and 2 sheets of unit counters in Saipan.

Wow, Larry where are you getting the numbers for SoD. EFD still lists for $79.99 and last I saw with playtesting, it was looking like 4 maps and 2.5 countersheets. Mike B. can charge what he wants, but $125 seems like it would be too big of increase for the game, and a deal breaker as you state.
