GarageSale 8 Pricing. I thought about this for quite a while…
Typically, I am old-school buy-it-own-it for software. Being a Macintosh Software engineer for nearly 30 years. Monthly subscriptions are now becoming the new normal, even Quicken is doing it.
BUT… The value of GarageSale to me is FAR beyond the price I have paid for it. I use this software all day, every day.
FOR ME… The benefits I receive from this software FAR exceed and outweigh the new $14.99 per month cost. And if you sign up for a year, it is a one-time payment of $149.99/year.
I simply could not run my eBay business and make my living/income without it!!!
This equates to less than 1 penny/cent per listing per month!
I pay much more than that for eBay listing fees (10 cents per listing), eBay final value fees ($$$ per item), eBay Store (5 cents per item), PayPal fees ($ per item), USPS Postage fees ($$$ per item), shipping labels (3 cents per item), shipping envelopes (10-20 cents per item), empty boxes (50-100 cents per item), bubble wrap, foam peanuts, rubber bands, packing tape, printer paper (1 cent per item), printer ink ($30 per month!), etc, etc, etc…
And, my eBay store is $60 per month… In the Grand Scheme of Things (Total Picture) GarageSale is a very small cost!
I have paid for and been happily using the GarageSale v8 Beta for over a year, and simply can not imagine going back to v7…
I would be very happy to pay more, $25-$30 per month, maybe even $50 per month given the benefits!
