with all due respect ....Anthony has every right to place his model knife in the free stuff section even if kruse's model knife looks similar and costs money ..... but kruse you said: "we check the marketplace first, before we are going to upload a free item" i guess thats a good rule of thumb and maybe thats good advice for anthony to look into the next time but this is a big community were there are profit drivin people here and there are people who just wish to share with everyone by giving it away for free..........but with all due respect ot you something like as simply as a knife or ladders or eye ball textures and what not are not worth selling and should be givin for free ...in my opinion....if a merchant has an item for sale and sees an item that closely resembles but not in any way was copied then that merchant has a few options that he or she should consider a) give that item for free b) offer that item for alot less c) offer that item free with a purchase there are a ton of new models to make and sell....and no one should rely on an item to be sold forever...eventually an item becomes obsolete in the market place when practically the same model is offered for free.....do what you suggested to anthony: "the huge assortment of divers-knifes (long, small, thick, all coloured) why not make them yourself and sell them as a bundle...why give anthony any ideas that you can profit from ? :-)
