Quote - "ah yes, I hit a nerve didn't I? I never said I didnt pay for models, I have. Read my post without taking it out of context and turning it into something it's not. Content makers are greedy, with their outragous prices, 20, 30, 40 dollars for models is something that is just pure greed and I will not support those vendors. "

PLEASE! Never grab any of my free items, and never buy anything from me, ever! Your respect for my time and craftsmanship is purely disgusting!

Make something yourself.. see how many hours (in one case, working full time for 3 months!) And then set a price on it yourself. Without the content creators here, you would HAVE no 3d hobby, and you WOULD be investing the time yourself. So how much is you time worth, anyway? If you have to spend 40 hours plus a week on one item for 3 weeks of your life, how much is that time worth to you?

I know many people creating content for the poser community that are barely scraping by, and most og them have nothing priced over $25 (and even THAT is a rarity!) The biggest issues many vendors feel, is that the poser market is FAR undervalued on product pricing, and things like Daz's platinum club are decreasing the apparant worth of everyone's products.

I want to save a buck as well, and I'll buy stuff on sale whenever possible, but the difference is I DO value other people's work, and craftsmanship, and will sometimes even contact them directly, so they don't loose 1/2 of their money to a storefront website. I want them to make MORE personally then they would if I jiust bought it normally.

Truly disgusted by that opinion.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
