RE: Pricing of copyrights to RPG applications

John,

This is a very complex subject.  Such as ow much would a "retail"
license cost?  How many can reasonably be expected to sell? How "ready
for distribution" is it?  Do you have a buyer?  How much money do they
have?  How bad do you need to sell?

A very good resource for things relating to the software business can
be found at http://www.softwareceo.com/

Some of the stuff at that site will cost you money.  But much is free
including their Forum area...and that has a specific section for
pricing issues.

Subject: Pricing of copyrights to RPG applications

Hello nontechs...

I am trying to sell the copyrights to several applications written in
RPG
ILE.  The applications were developed for specific clients but the
author
retained the copyrights hoping to market them to other clients at a
later
date.  Now, the author simply wants to sell the copyrights and have the
Buyer
do the marketing.

My dilemma: How does one determine how to price such copyrights?
