Ask HN: How much would you pay for this?

2 pointsby lbrabout 11 years ago
I have a project I&#x27;m playing with. Trying to figure out pricing.<p>Pain point: Hand writing notes sucks - especially if you have bad hand writing. But hand written notes are powerful. And leave an impression.<p>Solution: Email note@scendr.com with note. Include address of recipient. We write it on a plane card with gender neutral hand writing. Stamp it. Send it.<p>What would you pay for this? http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scendr.com

I would actually pay $0 and wouldn&#x27;t use it. Why? It&#x27;s a logical decision: a hand-written note is, as you said, powerful and it leaves an impression. People notice. I&#x27;m in Dallas, Texas - if I send a hand-written note to anyone who knows me, they know that I live in Dallas. If the note is postmarked from San Diego, for example, it loses it&#x27;s value to me as a purchaser. Also, someone inevitably will ask about my handwriting. &quot;Wow - you have great handwriting! Where did you learn to write like that?&quot; Then what?<p>It&#x27;s disingenuous and I&#x27;d have to fend off questions like the above. So I wouldn&#x27;t buy it for any price.<p>That said, I&#x27;m one person and that&#x27;s simply one person&#x27;s opinion. It doesn&#x27;t invalidate your idea so don&#x27;t take this the wrong way (as an insult or personal attack). It&#x27;s a fun idea, but not one I can see anyone who is &quot;serious about business&quot; using.

If you guys want to try it. I&#x27;ll give it to ya for $3. Just send the email&#x2F;note. Then I reply to request payment.
