I don't think merchants should restrict themselves to only things that will have a lot of sales. That might limit the marketplace to just sexy, scanty outfits. There's nothing wrong with trying to appeal to a small audience that is underserved. In fact, it might open up whole new markets and new areas of interest. I suspect that Mike textures don't sell anywhere near as well as Vicki textures. What would happen if everyone stopped selling Mike textures because the market isn't that big? We'd have even more NVIATWS pictures. I do agree, personally, that there are items in the MP that don't seem very professionally done, but there's also items by new merchants who are just starting out and haven't achieved all the skill of some of the old-time professionals. If the new merchant has something at a good price that saves me time, I might buy it even if it isn't the most breath-taking, awe inspiring item I've ever seen in my life. I factor the cost, time to duplicate, flexibility, and overall quality together in my purchasing decisions. I don't base my purchases solely on who has contributed freebies first. Some merchants are actually a group of people and the freebies might be under individual accounts. Some people have contributed with forum help, others with tutorials, etc., so just going by freebies doesn't mean much. On the other hand, having a few freebies can tilt the balance between me buying and turning away MP items. If the really poor quality stuff is ignored, the "guilty" merchants will either improve or get the hint and leave, clearing out the marketplace. That's how I see it, anyway. Cres
