>> Pay more than the average of $4.56 to unlock!

I find that to be an interesting idea, since the average will only increase over time.

I've bought a number of humble bundles and have noticed that there is generally a steady rise in price over the first day of a bundle being announced. For example when I bought this bundle the unlock price was $4.18.

What works well for them is including another "premium" title at about twice the opening unlock price; Democracy 3 for $8 in this case.

I'd guess that the unlock price will rise to around $6 over the course of the day.

Not necessarily, people can pay less than average, they might not be interested in the "unlockable" games.
Not necessarily, because I assume not everyone buys the unlockables, so the average could move downwards, too.
Will it? As I understand it people can pay $0.01 and just get everything else and no steam keys.
