				                Psychological pricing

													It is not psychological pricing, since it may not be perceived as attractive to consumers as 4.99, to make it psychologically more attractive than 5.01. Is it correct?

													It could be; depending on whether other products are priced lower and this pricing is aiming to show it is in the next bracket (4 to 5).

													Any figure can be made out as Psychological Pricing (PP). To make the buyer feel comfortable in procuring the product at a price point that he/she feels is below the number they have in mind. Though the figure 5.01 can actually be used as a trigger to denote that at 4.99, you may not have the same product features as at 5.01. However a buyer will allow his/her mind to get captivated by the lower number, in this instance 5.01 might not trigger the emotional response the seller wants.
