Well, it's not as if the product wears out either. If I buy a car, I have to buy another one eventually. With Poser stuff, I only need to buy it once. Unless the file corrupts or my hard drive dies, I won't buy it again. That's why I think the small packages have an advantage...especially when they build on other things. I love the clothes packages that let me pick and choose what I want. I don't need any fantasy wraps /fantasy outfits / fetish gearin my collection...but I am always on the search for realistic clothes. If I can buy one without buying the other, I'm buying the smaller package instead of the larger one with the stuff I'll never use. I think the vendors are coming to the point where they need to not only do what they themselves like but also be sensitive to the demands of their audience and decide how they want to target themselves. Okay, we now have a hundred Koshini outfits and textures. Shall I (as a merchant) focus on Koshini outfits and textures under the theory that the Koshini will last as a demanded item, or should I diversify to capture the non-Koshini people? Yes, I'm the fetish queen in my marketplace...shall I keep on making fetish stuff because that's where my fantasies take me, or should I make a few items for the non-fetish people in the crowd so that they know I can think outside the crotch? There may be no need to change if you have a steady market, but every reason to change if you see business as usual is not doing the usual business. And there will always be a market for fantasy / science fiction/ pin up / fetish stuff. I'm not saying that. But what a merchant has to decide is if they can continue with the same old focus or do they need to explore outside of the box of their personal preference and prejudices? I'm not saying one is better than the other, but I do think you have to think about where the market is and if you want to follow a fad or set a style of your own. There are some merchants out there that I buy from regularly, and check out regularly for new items. There are others that have predictably stuff I don't want so I never go back to their store UNLESS I see them break into a new area once in awhile. It's up to the merchants. I can't create my own stuff. I have to buy to keep my graphics fresh. But what I buy depends on what you make available to me. It's that easy. It's that hard. I sure don't envy anyone trying to make a living in this marketplace. Again, this is a vanity market driven by wants instead of needs. If people have reduced incomes, they are going to have to buy less of the "wants" and focus more on food, shelter, education for their children. That's just the way it is. If people have increased incomes, then they have more money for play. Of course there are people making their living with what they buy here. I don't envy them that task either. It's got to be a tough market for everyone and not just a few.
