Branding Free Option ?

I just want to know if anybody is interested in a Branding Free Option to be sold ... Costs would be 50$ per License (for one vBulletin-Installation)

Of course ibProArcade itself will remain completely free, no "premium support", no exclusive access to "beta-releases" or anything like that you have to pay for

Anybody who wants "Branding Free" may contact me via PM - price is 50$ for one installation, one site, one url.

I won't do things like 5$ a month ect. as this is a FREE MODIFICATION

On payments, how about $5 down and $5 month for 50 months! :banana: Send 25 to Chris and keep the rest!

Because this arcade offers outstanding support and new versions much faster with less bugs (if any at all )

i would pay the branding free option though i'm strapped for cash at the moment, though i'm in search of games for the arcade as ones from IBProarcade sometimes do not work.

but yeah when i get enough i'll buy the branding free.

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.

ibProArcade was and still is not intented for making money

Surely some lower price would increase selling such feature, but I always was good-friend with Chris (who finally made this vBulletin-Arcade possible!) and won't spoil it with cheating on him or breaking our deal.

By now I won't change anything, but I will think about talking to Chris about an alternative... ok ?

Yep I Would Be Happy Paying $30................

Actually the $5 a month thing was a joke as a imitation of a TV commercial I've seen a long time ago. In real life that would be a pain.

well to me $30 is by far going to reel in more customers, and will be far more worth your time, as you say it is a Free mod and doesn't make money, but i think branding free is a great idea, i'm the kinda person who hates copyright noticed and credits on websites i'd sooner pay to get rid of them as they sometimes make your boards look bad.

i think that having it at $30 is fair, and its still $15 each which isn't bad at all

$50 for branding free with around 40 willing customers = $2000 = $1000 each

$30 for branding free will up the customer count dramatically maybe 80 = $2400 = $1200 each.

although your not out to make money its far better to lower the price and get more willing customers.......since its free and didn't cost anything but time to make it wouldn't damage you to lower the cost. if you had to buy things for the mods and such then yes i think $50 would be right.

well good luck i'll still be up for branding free ^_^

I don't see a need for this. There are only two Arcade system out there anyway .. so branding free or not ... people know anyway what that is ..

The only piece of software I would die for a branding free is vBSEO .. but this is another story ..
