Well...I'll chime in here because in a week only one person bought my hair. This tells me that it sucks. So, I can take this thread as something directed at a body of people that includes me. I used to make stuff and give it away for free. All I can say is that unless you have your own web page with unlimited bandwidth, trying to provide freestuff is a gigantic pain in the ass. If you put something in the marketplace, it is reliably hosted. That was motivation number one for going marketplace with the hair. As for the price, I decided on $8 because 2.50 just doesn't really add up to anything at the end of the day. That aside, the hair is functional. I personally use it as a base for post-work. I'm not the kind of guy that is going to paint hair from scratch. Is it worth $8? That's up to the buyer. With only one person buying it, I suppose "Not really" is the answer. However, this limits people from grabbing it (Ie Freestuff) who have no intention of ever using it and wasting folks bandwidth. If you don't like what's in the marketplace, just wait a day or so, and there'll be a whole new page to look at. If the person who bought the product enjoys it and feels it's a fair price, great. I'd rather do that then giving it to six billion people who never use it. -WTB
