We do turn out more than 4 but usually only 3 or four are Daz items. the others are brokered for the texture artists Lisa, Merrilyn, Moyra, or Laurie. They are exclusive to the PC but are still brokers. The free monthy $5 vouchers can't be used in the PC cause it turns 2 items into freebies. This is way too much. A Voucher is never intended to make an item a freebie..not to even mention two items or more. The Vouchers are indeed useful. There are lots of things in the Premier area that are Daz made and people don't own. They may be buried under brokered products but they are in there. The only reason there are so many PC items is because I and Michael Lane are making them. We don't get help from the Premier Production Team. If we stopped to make items for Premier we loose time making for PC So basically if you want more Premier items that will just mean me taking an item I would normally provide to you for $1.99 and making it up to $24.95 in Premier so you can use your $5 voucher. The vouchers are mmade to expire becuase they would be too powerful if they stacked. Daz's products are extremely complex to make. And Daz' low prices, $1.99 downloads, freebies. storwide sales etc are already all extremey generous. The site must remain profitable. Despite what some would love to have you believe, the entire community customer base is now well below 10,000 people. The idea that there are 100,000 peole out there is not true. When i was a broker I was fortunate enough to be the highest selling broker in the community. The most of any one item I have sold to day is around 4000. Most people never ever break 500 for one item. There are those that do but there are fewer than 12 brokers in the community that do out of 100's that make products.. I know people what more and more coupons and cheaper and cheaper products but there becomes a point when you end up going to low and cripple your business. I know everone has there own ideas on what they think would be "best". Though things may seem unorganized right now, trust me. I got your back. Just go Platinum and stay Platinum and your world will rock dispite what some would say. Anyway, just wanted to explain the "why" to how things work the way they do. It just comes down to limits. As a broker I did very well with my $59.95, $49.95, and $39.95 products. I find it hard to believe there is still an issue being raise that people are being cheated by paying $1.99 regardless of the menbership. Regards, Anton Content Creator Daz3d Platinum CLub ---------------------------------------- Crescent, The forums became too hostile for me after awhile so I pulled away. As a result I think communication has suffered. Unfortuantely there has been some poor communication of misinformation I am desperately trying to get corrected. Frank, There are restrictions because the products have to generate a profit.
