How can I purchase my own product without paying a royalty?

How can I purchase my own product without paying a royalty? It seems that when I add one of my own products to the cart (to try a sample or to give as a gift, for example) the price seems to include the royalty just as if I were a general customer. Is there a way to purchase our own products less expensively?

@Dave_G  you could set your royalty at 5% (the lowest royalty you can set) then change it to whatever royalty you like (after you've purchased it).

There isn't a "no royalty" option

I seem to remember reading at one point that if you edit your product, the royalty is not applied. Haven't tried it myself, though.

It seems like if you create a product from a blank and copy over everything from your published product and buy without publishing, that should work.

If you buy your own published product, you'll pay the same as any random customer would, but, you also earn the royalty plus sales stats on it same as if a random customer bought it. If the stars are aligned properly you might also earn a Referral on it. 
If you'd rather just pay less outright, then as @Badeesie said, it needs to be a personal not-published-for-sale product.
