In concept, I can see where you are coming from. But I just see the idea of publishing sales as a problem. First off, nobody needs to know how much I, or anyone else, sells of a product. Secondly, I could see this having a negative effect on either decent products that get buried, or new merchants who aren't established. If you look back through the catalog, and see two similar products. Say you are new, and don't know that one of them is from an established merchant, and one is from a new merchant. You might like them both, even lean towards the newer merchants. But then you see that only 7 people bought the one product, and 700 bought the other. What are you going to conclude? I also agree that the price isn't as important to me as the quality and usefullness. But then I started buying years ago when the market prices were higher all around. Those days you wouldn't find a good texture set for much less than 20. Never anything at 5. So I still tend to speculate that if it is too cheap, it isn't as good. I know this is not always the case, but people do sell themselves short. Charge what it is worth, not what you think you have to. If you spent 100 hours on a project, don't charge 5 bucks for it. You will never make it worth your time.
