I've seen this same post 3 or 4 times now, or rather other posts with more-or-less the same statement, and I think it is true, to some extent. The store probably gets stuff that in other times would be go to free stuff. But, I don't know if the current quanity or quality of free stuff is less, for all that, as when I was getting started in Poser 4 I downloaded a lot of stuff that was absolute junk, a dress with holes in the mesh, missing textures, missing parts, stuff that I threw right in the trash can. I don't think most of the current free stuff is like that. I'm under the impression that there are a lot more people making things for Poser than there were a year or so ago, so it sort of equals out. I also wonder if people that have never made a all original item of conforming clothing have any idea how much time it takes, my hat is off to people like Phil C that have dozens of items like that for free, here and on his web site. Oh, BTW, my only item in the store, a mermaid, has sold exactly 4, which puts it ahead of over half the items there, but no great shakes. I do a lot better at BBay & Zygote!
