Currently, the average price is at $5.56, significantly less than the $383 retail price for the apps, but it will go up as the sale goes on.

I hope it comes in a nice frame.It doesn't hurt to have more tools at your disposal, but it might have been more useful to include some other kind of utility in place of one of these.
I even used that 10% discount for $0.56 off the order, Don't Judge me! :p
The default option is "beat the average price". [ ... ]
So either click "beat the average price" or pay a higher price if you are feeling generous, and you will get all 10 apps
I paid $6 and got all the apps. As long as you meet/exceed the average you'll get the lot.
Thank you both for the explanation--I was a little confused with their graphics and the explanation they gave. This cleared it up.
