I have posted a long (possibly overlong) thread above on the question of commission rates and why I think it might be an idea to reduce them. Here is another argument. Assume that someone in this forum makes another Victoria (only better and a new mesh and there are many here capable of that) and decides to sell it. Assume also that they are not going to fleece people for $90 plus more for hair, tex maps, morphs and clothing but are going to charge $50 for the lot, a complete package. How big is their market? For something like Victoria it might be 1000 model sales, maybe more if the price is right and the model good enough. At 50% commission that is $25,000 to BBay/Renderosity. In one of her posts above fur said " before knocking anything, ask someone who's built an online store just whats involved. Heres just some of the things you would need to get started:" and then lists a lot of things that cost money. But for the $25,000 lost to the artist in commission charges he or she could easily buy all of that and more and have a lot left over. This might be put into reducing the cost of the model to say $40, in turn increasing sales even more and leaving the artist with a nice shiny new server and a functioning online store in which they could also broker stuff. It is one of the reasons anyone involved in making really high demand models will probably not sell through the Poser Store (no offence intended to any artist selling there already). This is a major loss of a market segment and potential revenue to Renderosity/BBay before you even start. I believe the Poser Store should take a long term view on this and not use the argument of everyone else charging 50% or more commission as the reason for doing the same. Break the mould and try much lower rates, if they don't work up them. Remember this store, unlike other purely commercial operations, is growing out of a community of people with a culture of sharing and helping each other. Commerciality in their "online home" is a difficult and even resented concept for many in such a community to come to terms with. Lower rates might prove much more acceptable to all concerned and increase volumes dramatically in sales turnover and in the range of stuff being put into the store. STORM
