sure. but its silly to argue about what the " correct " price is in any transaction.

the correct price is the one the buyer and seller both freely agree to and come away happy with. simple as that. there are no other factors.

if the seller is selling too low and cant paynhis staff, thats his mis management. not something to talk about publicly. if they are succesfully selling the app at a high price and people buy it, and the seller treats his staff liks rock stars thats fine. nobody ripped anyone occ. there is nomneed to justify price, other than closing sales.

go watch carpet negotiations in morocco, i saw a guy pay 3000 usd for a nice rug, and a student pay 50 usd for the same size and type lof rig, same store. (all hand made so cant say they were the same). so what was the rug worth? to rich guy it was worth 3k because he went to morocco and got it himself, blah blah. to the student it was worth it because he negotiated the sales guy down from 5000 usd to 50 usd. in both cases, moreso in the latter, the salesman negotiated as if it were an art form, and in the end, made the point thAt once the parties avree on a price and close the deal there are no regrets. he wss happy he sold one rug for a huge amount of cash, and happy to sell one. henaply to a student who would appreciate it more. in both cases he made money, And we have. o ide what he true production cost is.

Mostly true. Then there are situations where the buyer is in a bind, has to pay whatever is asked. They don't go away happy, believe me.

Its called scalping, or gouging, or blackmail or whatever. Consider buying a car, or health care, or insurance, or gas, or cable service from your monopolistic bloodsucking local cable king.
