poser users have extremely deep pockets, but unaffiliated sites may have trouble holding customers. there are more customers for poser items every day. the key to sales is peer pressure, in the form of forum and gallery images here and at the other main poser sites that have the standard set-up of marketplace, gallery, forum, chat et al. one other form of peer pressure that's equally effective is when shills post notices here about items for sale at competing websites. I dunno if odd ditty had a marketplace, but I don't recall anybody mentioning the site ere now. any kind of publicity helps, whether good or bad.
