I want to underscore a few things that some others have already said.
Yes, price is a factor, but it isn't the factor. The main factor tends to be -- as others have already stated -- what I like.
In addition to this, I think that the Poser market has tightened up. Top-tier character packages can now be had for under $15.00. Many such premium packages are selling for under $10.00.
For this reason, I am highly unlikely to spend $24.95 on a character. No matter how good it is. There are simply too many superb characters currently available at lesser prices.
So....to repeat myself: price is a factor, but it isn't the factor.
BTW -- I think that market forces are driving the current price structures. Under present conditions, anyone that throws a $30.00 character into the marketplace would be highly unlikely to see very many sales. If any. Unless if the character was something very, very exceptional.
I suspect that I know some of the reasons why V3 and M3 are being given away for free these days.
