Would pay $50 for sure. Too much more and I'd have to hear some positive reviews first though. Hopefully you'll let us see a part of the first movie so we can evaluate the purchase. I'm sure it will be great though. Eric As a developer, I’d say this is a great deal. Would pay $50 for sure. Too much more and I’d have to hear some positive reviews first though.

I fully expect Sebastiaan's work to be that good. This is not your youtube "10 tips to make millions with adwords", but real training, tips and tricks straight from the horse's mouth! A week of tech training can set you back €3000-5000, tech conferences are easily €1000 plus travel. Even €100 (the highest price in the survey) feels like a bargain.

Sebastiaan's gotta put food on the table too you know! The man already gives us great tips and hints through his blog, we can't expect him to give away his secrets for nothing. Matt’s totally right.

And thanks for such a great comment, Matt. You've said it better than I ever could. I think for the content and expertise that you get, this is a great deal at any price on the survey.

My base dev rate is usually 40 Euro/hour, so 100 Euros is just 2.5 hours of time. IconResource is something that the Mac dev community has been very much in need of, and I can't wait to see it. :) Considering the cost of billable hours of a graphic designer’s time, and/or the cost of buying reference materials or attending graphic arts classes and then not get icon-design-specific information, I’d say that pretty much any price listed on the survey is a huge bargain.
