I don't think anybody sells 10,000 copies of a character.
I doubt if many even sell 1,000, and that only on a long-lasting character over a long period of time.
For most of us, getting past 100 is doing pretty good.
Some think selling past 10 is big time.
Some merchants never even sell 1 of an item.

Take your pick.

The 1st problem with making Poser stuff is that the number of people making things and trying to sell them is increasing far faster than the number of people using Poser. I often get the impression that the later hardly changes at all, while some do come in, other looose intrest and go away.

The next problem with making Poser stuff is that it isn't getting easier, rather the reverse, in fact. When I look at the first sets I did for sale, over 5 years ago, they seem so simple- maybe one alternate texture, no MATs, no JCM, no FIGs, few morphs, simple low poly figures and clothing. Now the standard is you include the sun and the moon, all for $9.95, on sale this week only for 30% off, too. I think I'm a lot better at this stuff than I used to be (I do it full time), but I still only produce about one set a month, on average.

So, what I'm trying to say is I don't think the low-price economic model is really valid for Poser products, after a point you are just driving the prices down, making all the producers poorer, not increasing sales.
