<p>Last year I conducted a small <a href="http://www.getrolling.com/survey.html">survey</a> asking people &#8220;How much extra would you pay for a new pair of skates if they had the 4XS installed? &#8221; referring to a <a href="http://www.getrolling.com/orbit/sum07_dream_brake.html">new cuff-activated braking technology</a> I tested and loved.  I am still getting a trickle of responses, with the overwhelming majority willing to pay at least $20 more &#8212; and a few who said they&#8217;d pay $100!</p>
