Those of you that think the script is worth it have no idea how to code. If you did, you'd realize you are buying a simple script with a nice gui. The gui took more time to do than the part of the script that does the work. If it's worth it to you, great. Spend away.
nice looking GUI, refining shit for the less technical people, and generally refining a product always takes more time than the "core". I can honestly say I've spent more time on making it prettier and easier to use than I ever did to just make it work...

nobody other than you will want something that works but is hard to use and ugly. might get the same "job" done but that doesn't mean its the same thing.

When I was selling my script for $30 I was finding too often I ended up spending about 2 hours on the support end of things which destroyed any possible profit but I was chalking it up as development costs to refine the script for the future. Mines sitting at $60 currently and I could certainly see a price increase in the future. After I launch my affiliate program and start cutting other people in on things and continued support for old customers I can see where I may need to increase the cost even more.
