Don't be intimidated by MM's negative attitudes, lobo75. There are plenty of us who are rooting for the newbies, and would love to see what you have to offer. I'd also like to enter the fray when I feel ready, and there's no way I'm going to be intimidated by either those whose talent vastly exceeds mine, or those who don't "get" the very fine suggestions that JohnRender made, above. I'm sure we've all seen some "junk" in the marketplace, but as other have said, that's a subjective evaluation, and not one that gets expressed very frequently. Caveat emptor: It's up to the buyer to do their best to consider whether or not the product they're looking for is worth spending money on. If they decide that it is, that doesn't mean that the merchant is taking a sucker for a ride. Everyone has to start somewhere. No content provider is born with top-notch talent. This would be a good time to praise Renderosity's brokerage system; it gives us beginners a chance to step into the pool, generate feedback, develop a reputation (and hopefully, skills,) and to make a little extra cash. I do think that the marketplace's search engine is far too crude for such a huge store, though. Improvements and better options for refined searches might help to alleviate the pain that the impatient and judgemental persons are suffering. :-) As a democratic capitalist, I like the diversity of the Rosity MP. I see plenty of things that I feel are silly, crass, needless, or undesirable in there, but such is the way of free enterprise. And as we all know, with a little patience, you can find plenty of great deals and treasures.
