I don't want to try and condense this for Twitter because I believe the point will be lost.\r\n\r\nI'm hoping to understand what it is that means the three new Themes are worth $99 in your eyes. Of course there's a premium assigned to the fact that THE Bootstrap guys developed them, but I'm hoping to gain an understanding of what's involved in skinning a Bootstrap package and outputting it for a hundred bucks when there are countless resources out there offering something of a similar level of quality and quantity for ~$30.\r\n\r\nOf course I'm referring to the likes of ThemeForest, and you can generally take it or leave it with the flat Bootstrap themes they put out (some I've seen are absolutely dire) but there are also a lot of resources out there that don't even charge anything (see Codrops or Codyhouse, etc). I'm not saying at all that you shouldn't be charging anything at all for them (I agree you should and I applaud you for doing it) but is it advantageous for you to offer them at such an inflated price in comparison to a market you've propagated that is getting the best out of the framework as you are?\r\n\r\nI don't want this to come off as picking a fight, I'm genuinely interested as I've been watching the progress of these new themes and am interested in picking one up. I'm just interested to know why these are worth two-three times the price of similar products elsewhere.\r\n\r\nThank you, and good luck with BS4."}}
