While we no longer have an online catalogue at Harrock Hall (so I'm not trying to get anyone to buy anything), when I set up the pricing structure for the purchase of PDF licenses for some of our titles I took into account the fact that the customer was going to spend more money down the line in printing. In some cases PDF prices were as much as 70% less than the print versions. PDF sales eventually outpaced those for hard copies, and it only took 2 months to happen. Another independent online vendor using this sort of pricing is Handlo Music. (DISCLAIMER: I do own shares in Handlo, but I'm not trying to get anyone to buy anything from the company through this post.) -Cecil Rigby rigrax at earthlink.net _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
