"how about a price search system, If I put in a search of 20.00 I would be able to ovoid all the crap. " lol, not really. ive seen some horrible quality items that i wouldnt pay $5 for (hell, i probably wouldnt waste bandwidth downloading them if they were free) at 'hopeful' prices of $20 or more. i think the worst are clothing add-on textures that cost twice as much as the actual clothing pack itself (and sometimes the add-on textures are far lower quality than the original ones that came with the clothing). or poses for $15+. ive been working on a pose pack for months, and they will be released along with hi-res props some are tailored for, but i wouldnt dream of asking more than $6-9 even though i know they are far higher quality than most of the pose packs out there. i feel that new merchants should whet their teeth on freestuff FIRST, then hit the store with a lower priced item around $5-8 to let customers sample their merchandise. just seems to me like some people make an item, then sit there and think 'should i put this in freestuff? naw.. wait - i will put it in the marketplace at $20 and see if it sells'. the whole 'see if it sells' attitude irks the hell out of me. if you submit something to this already flooded marketplace then youd better be damned sure in advance that it will sell. this isnt a testing ground, or a flea market. if as a merchant someone is 'offended' by this post then all i can say is they dont belong in sales. its a competitive market, and people that approach it with a 'lets see if this will sell' attitude are not going to get very far. cheers, -gabriel (Blackhearted)
