I could relate a couple of irritating experiences with CP, I just don't feel the need to do so.

This is the only community (Poser) I know of that cries, bitches, whines and moans about the price of something being cheaper, (not anyone in particular, just in general, although this thread seems to be pretty evenly matched).

DAZ has a big sale similar to this every year. Even brick and mortars have sales and drop the price on old stock. It's common business practice. Several times on these boards I've seen merchants drop the price of older items permanently, (even their entire stores), I didn't see anyone bitching about them.

No one is forcing anyone to buy something from them. Don't like it, don't buy it, don't bitch.

I buy from a lot of different places, here, Daz, RDNA, PoserPros, 3D Commune, etc. I also buy from a lot of independents, Xurge3D, Polymage, 3DMenagerie, Curiography, Sixus1, Vista Internet, etc. If I see something I want or need, I buy it, it doesn't matter where it is.

"And seeing that they can drop prices by 30-80% and consider making it PERMANENT just confirms the fact that they were grossly over-priced to begin with.." No, it means it's generally older items and/or items that haven't been selling well.

Welcome to the world of business.
