    I've built a tool that fetches articles form wikipedia.
    I need help about evaluating the value of it.

    please check my site at http://www.wikifetcher.com and tell me what do you think about the price.

    the price was 29$ and i had a couple of sales in less than a week. so i increased the price and started an affiliate program (which no one attends, i'm not getting much traffic)...

    how much do you think the product worth? is 49$ too much?

    Thanks!

    Hard to give you an exact price, but here's a suggestion. Pick your price and sell the value/benefits.

    Example:

    Hiring a programmer to build this for you could easily cost hundreds of dollars. You're getting it today for only 49 dollars!

    Integrov, I'll just add this. A lower price does not always equate to higher sales. In fact, higher prices have been known to generate more sales. Pricing conveys perceived worth of the product.

    While I don't have personal experience yet about charging higher prices, I will tell you that I work daily with friends convincing them to charge what they really want to charge, instead of being fearful of not making any sales because a price is too high.

    Believe in yourself and your product. Sell the value/benefits! Don't be afraid to go for it. In an ebook I recently read, the guy relates a story how he had no sales between 29 and 39 dollars. When he finally bumped it to 69 dollars sales started coming in. :)

    Odd that the condition of purchasing the product is acceptance of Wikipedia's license, but your live demo doesn't adhere to that license. :D
