Last post and this only because you cannot get away with that. A database which costs $500 a month to maintain, in this context and with reasonable marketing, should produce a nice profit if it were priced in the range of $20-$50 per customer per month.

But as things stand and by your own estimate, 90% of the people buying these (relatively) cheap scripts, if they don't tackle the $6,000-worth of work a year you say it takes to make them fully useful, basically don't stand a chance of making money with them. That's frankly ridiculous.
