The Delicious Monster guys are selling their premiere media cataloging software, Delicious Library, at a discount for a limited time. Here’s the deal:
Every week we are going to reduce the price of Delicious Library by $5. We will keep reducing the price until we sell a secret number of copies that we have set aside, or until four weeks go by. If you wait for the price to go down, you are taking a risk that the sale will end because we sell out! It’s called a “gambler’s sale” because the longer you wait, the more you might save — or you might miss the sale entirely.
Very interesting marketing. I already own a copy, which I love. My only gripe was the price ($40), but with amenities like built-in UPC scanning with your iSight, I couldn’t help myself. I haven’t really regretted the decision either. So what’s your strategy? Are you going to buy it now or stick it out?

I've read about this app before. It sounds cool, but for such a steep price I'd really need to have a good use for it. What do you use it for? I couldn't really think of anything myself...
I use it for a couple things.
First, I like looking at the stats, such as current value, current Amazon price, etc.
Second, I lend out my books quite a bit and Delicious Library has a whole system for managing that, reminding you when people should be returning stuff, etc.
Third, it lets you specify locations, so I can keep track of where my stuff is in my own house.
Finally, I like to publish it to my website periodically so people can browse what I have and like.
