Finding the Perfect Price - Is it the Magic #7?

[Sean Marshall]

Hi All,

I've come to a wall with how to price my services. Some people say to price things online using the magic #7. As in $47 instead of $50 or $497 instead of $500.

Others say using 9 works as well. ($49 vs $50).

Still others say to make it look like there was a ridiculous amount of calculation involved and have the price be something like $48.16.

I like to think that people are smart enough to know the difference. Also, I just want to be straight up with people. Like can't I just call it $500 and people will get that I'm just being cool? Or should I really do the $497/$499/$498.19 thing?

Before I just start testing, I wanted to see what y'all thought...
