It's unfortunate, but there are people out there who figure they can slap something together, sell it cheap, and if they make any money off of it, so much the better. It floods the market, making it appear that there's a ton of choices and pressuring good merchants to lower their prices to compete with the crap. There are also people out there who think they should be able to get everything free, or almost free, and who don't understand that people need to make a living off of their work. As with many things, it's the jerks who are ruining things for everyone else (merchants and customers alike.) With the economy sputtering, prices are heading south right now. It's not DAZ's fault, Rendie's fault, Poser Pros' fault, etc. It's a combination of factors that are mostly beyond anyone's control and people are doing what they can to survive. This is a thread on understanding how DAZ's new system works. Let's not turn it into something more than that. Thanks! Cres
