EP News Info regarding price increase

I have been selling forum skins since 2002 and this is the "first" and only skin increase. I tried to be as fair as possible and only raised the price $5.00

Reasons for small skin price increase (from $29.99 to $34.95):

1. Operating Costs. As we all know the price of everything has gone up since 2002.
2. You get 1 full year of updates when you purchase a skin (I think it would be hard to find anybody to update a skin just one time for $35. We update your skins for 1 full year).
3. We are one of the few sites that include the actual .psd files used to create the skin. This makes making changes very easy to the customer.
4. In my opinion our support is second to none.
5. Our skins our coded extremely well and tested on both Mac "and" PC in the major browsers.
6. I cannot count the number of skin sites that have opened and closed (leaving their customers in the cold) since we have opened. We are not going anywhere.
7. I will continue at this point to keep the buy any two skins get another two skins free offer running. Basically you get 4 skins for $70 if you choose to take advantage of this promotion.

The list goes on and I hope you understand this very small increase. If the $5.00 bump prevents you from purchasing a skin then I apologize. At this point I have no choice and since this is our very first skin increase since 2002 I feel it is not out of line.

Thanks :)

As always I truly appreciate all of your input. I am leaving this thread open for comments.
