Yeah, I think that would be an excellent idea! Stop with the -1 or -5
prices! Free your mind :) . And as an added bonus we pay you a little more.

The prices for GTA02 and the debug board are $399 and $99, respectively. While there&#39;s nothing wrong with charging exactly 99 dollars for something, the practice of reducing a round price by one dollar, AKA &lt;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_pricing" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_pricing</a>&gt; is often associated with cheap marketing tricks, trying to make the price look less than it is and so on. In my opinion, admitting that a hundred is a hundred and charging $400 and $100 for GTA02 and the debug board would fit better into the OpenMoko spirit of openness and transparency. Especially when most of the other prices out there end with 95 or 99, a round price tag will send a message: "We&#39;re honest with you and aren&#39;t messing with your mind like others do".<br>
