The Halloween Sale

So, the Husband and I went back and forth over having a Halloween sale for the month of October. I didn't want to do it, but am not clear if it was ego making my decision, so I conceded. The Husband pointed out that it might be a good way to get eyes on books. It's all experimental at this point, right?
So, that's the deal. 99 cent books. (Ooof! It hurts me even to type that out! I think they should sell for a million dollars a piece!! Arggghhhhuuullbaaaargle!!!)

Okay, now that I have collected myself, here are the links, let's see if he is right (again. And I can't really hope for him to be wrong, now can I–it's a damn catch 22!):

Have you ever been in a situation where it's bad to be right and good to be wrong?

Whatever it takes Chris.....I think it's better to get the books out there and into the hands of others, and if it takes a 0.99 price point, then so be it. I started both of my books at 2.99, and I have dropped them both to 0.99, but the paperback version is 11.99, but with the holidays coming, I am feeling a "special price" coming on.

Just remember 70% of nothing is nothing, and I would rather have 35% of 0.99 than 70% of nothing, just my opinion :)

Lisa, wise advice and certainly how my husband is looking at it. I worry, though, about the 99 cent price point actually hurting sales. Do we lose a certain amount of 'legitimacy' by going so low?
Luckily it's all just experimental at this point.
