We both agreed to that - he offered Branding-Free for ibProArcade for InvisionBoard for 50$ and we would split this for the vBulletin-Version

Zero, do yourself, Chris and all of us a favor by renegotiating that deal. It's pretty clear to me that you will make much more money overall by halving the price. Branding-free is not a must-have purchase and 50$ simply feels wrong; my guess is that pitching it that high will be enough to deter most potential customers.

This is the Software Pricing Paradox. The fact that Chris charged $50 for the IB Branding-Free doesn't mean he got it right in that case, chances are he would have made a lot more there too by charging half as much. As KimmiKat correctly points out, the pricing of v3arcade is also irrelevant. If you want to maximize the return on your work, you've got to get the pricing right for the audience you've got.

How about this idea: hop on the wave of interest and new VB installations that will be spurred by VB 3.6 going gold and offer a limited-time, summer special of $30 (which seems to be, by consensus, a fair price-point). I think that both Chris and yourself will be surprised at how much more money you'll make.
