Some merchants forget that support and attitude are as vital as a product line when it comes to attracting and keeping customers. Some brokerage houses forget that also. There is a critical mass of Poser 5 users, and that mass will continue to grow. Monthly. A merchant should look not only at what sold 6 months ago, but what will sell 6 months ahead... and prepare to meet it. The nature of free enterprise is that the more enterprising merchants can stake out territories. If your brokerage house refuses to let you market the full potential of your product, perhaps it is time to wipe the dust off your shoes. Columbus was from Genoa, but had to go to Spain befoe he found someone to back him. If he had stayed home, he would have been merely another bitchy small-town merchant instead of governor of a wealthy territory. (He was still bitching on his deathbed, but he was a rich bitcher.) Yes, there are risks... but navigating the materials room is easier than learning the spherical trig required of a mariner. Yes, there are fickle winds... but damaged pride is survivable. You can keep trudging the same country lanes selling the same trinkets to the same customers, and think you are safe... but what happens when they go to market and see the bright silks and fragrant spices? So? You can keep your eyes and feet on a well-worn path, or you can look at the horizon and map a course. Carolly
