Are Some People In The Industry Out Of Touch With Reality?

I think it's called either trying to do damage control or trying to drum up interest in your product.

Does it matter what it's called?

I don't care what the application does, there's no way you can justify $30,000 for a CMS. Affiliate management software such as MPA, NATS, ExecutiveStats is considerably more complex because of the need for reporting,and the very complex amount of testing and debugging needed to integrate with various billers... not to mention maintaining the software as the integration requirements change... and those products sell for $10,000 to $20,000 which is still on the high side.

How can you judge a price if you don't care what application does? Our software easily pays for itself if you do a DVD site for example with 700 titles or more. Your cost savings which are realized through automating manual tasks of generating screenshots and video formats (our software will generate over 30 different formats from a single source).
Flexibility to re-use same content on unlimited amount of sites, and simply generating sites by using a meta tagging system provides an ability for large scale operations which are not available in other products to best of my knowledge.

System is built for clustering from ground up, and we offer geographical load balancing solutions, which is very important in our global economy.

This is just tip of the iceberg of the functionality that we offer, but i guess you knew that already because you read our white papers, or saw a demo?

. We've done both Affiliate software and a CMS, if you have not, you can't judge what's more complex

No offense, but if you spent $250,000 developing a CMS, you either got badly hosed by programmers, had a bad spec to begin with, or had terrible project management. That sort of pricing was common in 1998 during the dotcom boom, but not now.

I am totaling cost of R&D, development, Testing, re-development, improvement.. etc.

This number rises every month, as we have a staff of 8 developers who continuously develop new functionality which is requested by our customers.

Nonetheless, there are a handful of adult companies that are rich beyond belief and probably are willing to pay 10 times the market rate for something they don't have to hassle with... but I would never build a business model assuming I could continually find people who were either ignorant enough or reckless enough about money to pay that kind of money for a piece of software they wouldn't even have full ownership of.

As i mentioned above, it's not about being reckless, if you really took an hour to look at the system, and if you have a large operation in mind, i am sure you would see the potential for the ROI in our system.

We understand our system's pricing is not geared towards a single paysite owner at the moment, and we are working on plans that will allow for this type of clientele. With a large scale footprint that this would set we need to be ready to support the clients, thus we are introducing pricing as we are prepared to handle the growth.

We already offer a $15,000 hosted version, which is clearly posted on our site, which has been available and taken advantage by multiple clients in the last 9 months.
