See, this is a perfect example of why the Clearance thing does not work.  Kawecki makes exceptionally fine products (and luckily I know some of his other stores).  It is an insult to merchants and customers to try and move things along so quickly.  There are too many fine products that need a longer "shelf life".

I had been a member of Renderosity for probably a year before I bought my first item.  The first thing I bought I had bought because a year earlier I had bookmarked a link to a texture for it in the marketplace.  It was an awesome texture!  Well, luckily when I was ready to make the leap into investing in Poser products, the outfit was still in the store.  Unfortunately the additional texture sets were long gone.  The thought still makes me sad, years later.

Oh, and one person's "crap" is another person's gold.  If it was good enough to be accepted to the marketplace in the first place, then it should be allowed to remain.

And on the topic of "dated" stuff.  Many things look dated because of older textures or poor shader settings, but many of these things might have fine meshes that can be given new life with a bit of work ont he artist's part.  I find many excellent meshes that once I tweak the textures, they make for great art.

It scares me to think that in a year the marketplace will be devoid of things for V2 and V3 and it will be filled with things for V4.
