        For me:

        Under 100₴ - free

        100₴ - 300₴ - it must be worth it for me to buy it.

        More than 300₴ - i will never finacially recover from this purschase.

          Little different for me:

          $1 - 5 = $5

          $6 - 12 = $10

          $13 - 20 = $20

          $21 - 50 = $50

          $51 - 70 = $100

          >$70 = $1000

          That's basically right.

          $70?

          I could buy a car for that kinda money.

              I just round up to the nearest multiple of 5. Who the hell rounds down when looking at prices?

                    Nothing new tbh. How we subconsciously round off numbers is a big part of super market pricing. Everything with a zero at the end seems bigger. Not only does 19.99 seem much smaller then 20, but even 21.99 seems smaller then 20 at a glance.

                          You just reminded me of a time when $70 felt like nearly unlimited opportunities. Now, $70 means that I might get to buy groceries AND restock on spices.

                            Same, quite a bit of difference to me.

                            $1 - 7 = how many of these are they going to charge? 100+ dollars

                            $8 - 60 = round to nearest $5

                            $61+ = irrelevant collector’s edition

                              no, completely valid, but pricing is a psychological question rather than a math question for some.

                              reason for example products are priced with X.99

                              some people se it as cost X amount, others (like youself) see it as X+1 amount. the 0.99 is the extreme end of the psychology and choosing 8 in the case of peak increases number of people who dont see it at the higher price

                                          We supposedly evolved to perceive values logarithmically. The difference between 1 to 3 should feel bigger than 3 to 5. Yet, the difference between $5 and $10 feels to me way more than the difference between $1 and $5.

                                          Maybe I'm just broke as shit and think $10 is a lot of money
