Private sites yet. I have bought from RawnArt's site and PhilC's site for example. I buy at RuntimeDNA however it's so much Aiko now and less and less ApolloMax. What I'm saying is that for my needs is that if a product is so stylized that everybody will recognize it in a render I do "Latest Poser sighting!..." I will be liess likely to buy it now. Unless I can my the product my own in some way. example I rarely buy textures now because so many people have a subscrption to www.3d.sk that the textures look like everybody elses. The Old man textures for poser figures all seem to be from 1 reference set of photos available on 3d.sk. If that makes sence. more and more as time has gone on there is less and less diversity in poser renders because of the conform and render. I know that is a over simplification. When I got into Poser I was into it and impulse bought and spent tons of money. my goal has always been to do my own art, in my style. I am learning more and using more Corel Painter 9 and trying to paint clothing. So now my spending on poser items tends more and more to be items and products that let me get a good starting point and then do "my art". this is not the norm for most poser customers. I hope that makes some sence. I buy and I try my best to support merchants the best I can and do less and less of the impulse hype buying I used to do. I've watched the merchants, stores, and market place, and as time goes on want less and less to do with the poser market place. Particularly due to the some of the same things found in Post #1. I also do not like 50% of my money going to a site and not the merchant. I dont think I'm expressing it well in text. I will buy, but I'm not gunna buy just cause something is made for a poser figure. I will buy based on my needs and if it fits my style....regardless of price, unlike the horde that wants free and dirt cheap items.
