The prices for GTA02 and the debug board are $399 and $99, respectively.
While there's nothing wrong with charging exactly 99 dollars for
something, the practice of reducing a round price by one dollar, AKA
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_pricing> is often associated
with cheap marketing tricks, trying to make the price look less than it is
and so on. In my opinion, admitting that a hundred is a hundred and
charging $400 and $100 for GTA02 and the debug board would fit better into
the OpenMoko spirit of openness and transparency. Especially when most of
the other prices out there end with 95 or 99, a round price tag will send
a message: “We're honest with you and aren't messing with your mind like
others do”.
