Aloha,
First read this:

Tim Gross reports some pretty interesting test results.
You’ll noticed that he is part of the Internet Marketing crowd by the fact that his normal price ended with a 7. They have quite a religious following over in the IM world about ending prices with 7. They claim it’s not a religious belief. They claim it was tested and that’s the most profitable digit to end prices.
Oops. What happened in this test?
That happens again and again. The 2% of the IM world that actually test are constantly coming up with test results that overturn the 7 theory, but they constantly dismiss those results because they just know that sevens are better.
I actually did do the testing and since I don’t hang out with the IM crowd, I had no bias toward the number seven. I used 140,000 different products across tons of markets in my test. The digit 7 was the LEAST profitable in my testing.
What gives?
You can use Glyphius to come up with your most profitable prices, but I can also simply tell you the most profitable digits. They are 0, 1, 3 and 5.
So your best prices to test are:
$1
$3
$5
$10
$15
$30
$35
$50
$100
$130
$135
$150
$300
$330
$335
$350
$500
$530
$535
$1000
$1300
$1335
$1350
$1500
$3000
$5000
$10000
You get the idea. Use combinations of 0, 1, 3, and 5. That hasn’t changed in the three years that Glyphius data has been collected.
Enjoy!
Regards,

Any reason why $13 has been left off your list?
His usual price was $39.95, thus not using a 7
This is the list that the $13 wasn’t on…
$1
$3
$5
$10
$15
$30
I would have expected 9 to have been there too so that I something for me to consider when pricing products.
It’s funny 7 isn’t as popular as most people in the IM market believe because I rarely see it used in offline retail - just online.
