Merchants seem to be under the impression that the market is flooded with crap. The truth is that the market is rich with excellent stuff too! It is not the customer's responsibility to worry about the merchant making a living. Especially when some of use FOOD money to purchase Poser stuff. I'm not complaining because I've made my choice. Poser stuff is more important to me than shoes (I only have one pair and that's all I need right now anyway LOL). If any store makes us pay a fee for the privilege of buying stuff, I won't join. Platinum is different because it's DAZ and they are the suppliers of the main figures we use which makes the discounts very valuable.
