Personally, I spend a lot of time surfing through the Internet Marketing niche and I am never ceased to be amazed by the utter absurdity of the sales hype around pixelated products such as ebooks, e-courses, video tutorials etc., I mean, think about it: How (in the "real world") can their be any validity to the claim/s given by a virtual marketer (in reference to an ebook for example) who says... "Only 27 copies left! When they're sold, guess what? You lose! Don't let that happen - buy now and make sure you're one of the elite owners of blah, blah, blah...etc..." Ummm... now THAT's "artificial scarcity" if ever I saw it! Good point on the way in which “artificial scarcity” works!

The flip side is that high priced products will sell better. And you would think that Free information would "sell" the best...but it doesn't. In some cases, it's harder to sell than if you charge for it. There is a flip side to that concept. The flip side is that high priced products will sell better.
