RE:I'm not sitting here whining about how hard life is. I get along just fine. But it's taken me a few years to get here, and seeing a very few people mouthing off about over-priced content leaves me with the distinct feeling that they know not of what they speak. But as I said, thankfully most customers have a bit more sense. I think this same topic was discussed once before in the Daz Forums. A manufacturer places a commodity on the market with the hope that it will sell and show a monetary return for hisher labor. The consumer decides if the commodity is something they like enough to buy it. In general, does the consumer really take into acount how much blood, sweat and tears went into the production? Very doubtful. Does everyone care how much time the farmer spent producing the food you eat? My brother and I used to spend our summers helping our father build a Custom Home each year. Did the buyer really care how many hours were spent doing this, No. How much will it cost us to buy and can't you lower that price some more? - Always If it doesn't sell well, then maybe the producer needs to consider lowering the asking price or modify the product. If it does sell well, then most likely the consumer market felt it was a fair price. Name recognition also helps No doubt that content producers spend many hours of love and devotion on their products. No doubt as to the quality of many content products. Good, Bad or indifferent,It's still a consumer driven market though. Just because the consumer isn't buying doesn't mean the quality and craftsmanship isn't good. Considering the hefty commission that content sites collect, I do believe they have room to adjust prices to consumer demand, without taking anything more away from the content producer. There are major chains that count their profits per units sold in cents. Cheers DR
