"If you're selling a book priced at $5, I'm much, much more likely to buy it than the same book priced at $10."

Alfred Harmsworth made a fortune on the premise "Where one man will risk a shilling, a thousand will risk a halfpenny".

Me, I'm a tight Yorkshireman; I'd far rather amuse myself seeking out scanned versions of books *I already own* on the web; in extreme cases (e.g. some old and very fragile books) I'll scan, OCR, and proof them myself.
