I'm the guy who runs Two Dollar Tuesday (I'm also a Mac App Developer): A few reasons why you wouldn't necessarily do it every day: At $1.99, he would have to sell more than twice as many copies as he is selling now to make the same revenue

You may be right, but another thing to keep in mind is the volume needed to maintain the same amount of income at a lower price point. Staying higher in the rankings isn't worth it just for the sake of the rankings if you're only making the
