I think there's no way to provide a hard-and-fast rule about pricing. The best method for determining pricing is to research carefully your competitors. Doing so *is* fairly easy. Then, you can undercut them by just a bit, at least when starting out.

Then once the discounts are used up, your price will go up to the original without a seeming 'rise' in price.
