99 Cent Books
99 cent bookstore, it’s just a test. An idea, and frankly, one I am pleased with, as I have always found that the “pulp” price of 99 cents is a good deal.
I have a couple of “collectible” paperbacks, yellowed pages, ink sharp against the acidic pages, frail like ancient manuscripts, and merely 50 or so years old.
The mass-market paperback editions were priced from 95 cents to $1.95, with a buck and quarter being the most common.
Locally, a digital imprint that’s priced at 99 cents costs $1.07 with tax. Your mileage may vary, depending on location.
99-cent: It’s a price that I can live with, although, with the commission and marketing structure, I think I only see about 30% of that price. The advantages should be obvious, as I carry no inventory, handle no cash or charges, and don’t bear the burden of commerce.
When I set that up, the 99-cent price point thrilled me.
