Wonder how this would fare in the h-game market? 
There will always be that person who will. Doesnât matter if its the US.
However, I think people underestimate peopleâs sense of moral, shame and fairness.
FE: Recently we has a blizzard and there was some wood at a local grocer. The store was closed and people were running low on wood. Well within a day the wood by the grocer was gone with a pile of IOUs.
Once the store reopened people were lining up out the door to pay. The store made back 95% of what wood was taken within a week.
There are 2 things society is built upon and one of those is trust.
I think your underestimating. People everywhere underestimate this kinda thing. Itâs natural tendency to think others are inferior to you (and that means in morals), but when push comes to shove, thatâs almost always not the case.
âPay What You Wantâ eh?
Iâve got a real bad feeling about that, no Iâm not psychic but my stomach churns and my chest weighs down. Perhaps it is simply a cup of tea, a bitter one that canât be emptied and refilled. Well, just check for bite marks and youâll be glad you did. The stars beckon me to get all up in the frozen world that is a separate earth, a twin world in another space in time. You will be in a world of sound, a world of sight, senses that fill your every being. Prepare to enterâŚTHE TWILIGHT ZONE cue funky music
Wow, forget the twilight zone thing I was coming up with. I just saw a pair of eyes looking at me, I really hope that was just an effect of me spacing out on twilight zone references cause thatâs messed up. It wasnât like a horribly scary pair of eyes but it was odd looking none the less with the whole disembodied eyes thing going on. If I ever see that again I swear I will try and grab em or something cause that was messed up man.
EDIT-> whoa, totally off topic there srry yall, just sorta jumpy cause itâs like midnight over here and donât like to make too much noise with the whole xbox live 4 hours straight thing I just did. Yeah so I donât think the pay what you want thing will workout out in the long run but itâs definitely a refreshing change of affairs and can go far in itâs own rights. Off topic again, I usually donât see stuff like that so now Iâm wondering what in my head was thinking about eyes. I donât think people see things but guessing my brain might of been functioning in several directions at once, maybe I was typing here and coming up with twilight zone stuff and at the same time I was thinking about someone and my brain made the image of the person manifest into my eyesight but it only got as far as the eyes out as far as output image. Iâm really hoping thatâs it cause I donât wanna get all up in the shadow man business again.
That sorta reminds me of something else, a story about a kid and a coin a good man told me not too long ago and another similar story dealing with another good fellow that is currently away at the moment. They both end well and sorta eerily but I personally lived through the one about my bud, it was bad man there was blood and wood chipping and the poor bastard was out of it. Me and another friend were messing around making Resident Evil references and like running in on certain areas of his large backyard filled with wood and stuff but I heard something so I tell everyone (the rest of the guys were chilling) but then he says âWait I hear it tooâ as theyâre trying to pick him up cause he took a mouthful after he slipped on his own shovel (lol). I know, this isnât making much sense cause the guy got hurt and we were messing around so I kinda feel bad about what happens next. He says âItâs right behind youâ whilst pointing at me so I look around, paranoia kicking in because I know I heard something but âWhat is he seeingâ I wondered. So I ask again, " Where is it?" and he just keeps his blank stare and responds " Itâs moving all around you man". The otherâs who held him up suggested we get him something to rap that cut on his head with so they hold him up and he begins to crumble to the floor. I swear if they hadnât held him up he woulda hit the floor, but then he says " I canâtâŚwhatâs going on?" we turn and the guy starts like grabbing people like if heâs lost all sense of balance and then he starts mouthing words but sound escapes them. " I canât hear anything" he continues, but heâs still looking my way but sorta like right behind me so I move out of the way and his gaze followsâŚright behind me. I wanted to run up to him, itâs a damn good thing I didnât. I went for the water hose and told them to carry him this way, all that wood chipping must of gotten into his throat so I figured something was up because he couldnt breathe well. " This way" I kept suggesting with those words over and again and he agrees, in fact he can hear me quite well. " Letâs go, I can hear him" and they bring him over and hes chugs that water down real nice. Why he could only hear me is still subject to interpretation but the fact is that we tried to keep him awake just in case he had gotten a concussion and so we sat him down, I still remember his tired looking face as he looks up at me and before he could say anything I gave him a casual " You okay?" . He brushes it off, and finishes quite nicely with a âBe carefulâ. As I wondered whether he spoke of the thing he was seeing or that we were working at with the digging and wood moving he just slumped down and stayed there for a good 15 min⌠Idle chat set in and we totally forgot about the incident. The problem is so did our buddy, he canât remember a damn thing that happened other than having heard an odd noise. When asked about what happened before the noise he replies correctly but after the noise he totally blanks out, just remembers or âknowsâ he was somehow tired cause he had to walk it off and sit back for a bit.
Needless to say, kids: stay the hell away from odd noises. LOL
Interesting, it would make for a good social experiment where I live, but as the article states is just a gimmick, a good one too 
Well of course. It only goes so far. As things become more expensive, people tend be less reluctant to open their wallets wide enough.
No one would ever offer a âpay what you wantâ for a new car.
Thatâs too bad, some people just canât appreciate some old fashioned terms i guess. Or perhaps in your case youâve had some bad or âboringâ experiences with this zone of twilight? The story I continued with afterwards is true though, not a 60âs work of fiction. Thatâs too badâŚ
Ouch, and a stab it was. Srry, canât tell when ppl are messing around like that.
Ok ok, enough we should really let this get back on topic.
Indeed, what a great social experiment but it wonât go too far. There are just too may ways this can be taken advantage of, the story doesnât end well. (business wise anyways)
If they tried to open up something like that here, they would (probably) bankrupt at the end of the first month. lol
i think we should apply this âpay what you think its worthâ thing in prostitution. yay for my brilliant ideas!
Actually, thereâs some places on the city i live that have something like that. You can wonder how the âgirlsâ are. LOL!
Lol.
