Offer current buyers the option of giving a second copy to charity for an extra $5?

Charity up-sell is an interesting idea. Sort of like the popular buy-one give-one business model, but optional.

Idea: Give them away or destroy them in a spectacularly interesting way that millions of people will want to watch:

Hmm. I wonder if people would tune into a GIANT POLITICAL BONFIRE.

well, i just bought a couple, so knock that problem down a couple more units...

What about selling them very very cheaply as an Amazon Add-on item?

Amazon has worse margins than our online store already. The way I see it. We can drop the price, but we still have to market it. It'd be just as much work to market a $5 as it would a $30 game.

Amazon sets "Add-on" status not the seller.
