I would maybe try to pay that for a Lang book of his finest > thirty models. You are out of touch and greedy. I want to point out that this file download system is very new. Right now, no one knows what the 'right' price for individual diagram sales should be because it's never been done before. It will certainly very from author to author (authors name there own price). Hopefully as we continue to receive more models for sale and start to analyze the sales figures, perhaps we can then make some recommendations as to price. But until then, if you think something is too expensive, don't buy it. Then perhaps after some time with very few sales, the author of an expensive item will lower the price. That's the beauty of a market system. But please bear with us while we embark on this new adventure into a land unknown! -Jason Ku Board Member, OrigamiUSA The Fold Managing Editor, OrigamiUSA http://origamiusa.org/thefold http://jasonku.scripts.mit.edu/
