Hello all,

I am really not sure where this post should go so that all Renderosity Vendors can see this message.  I hope I am correct in placing it here. 

Over in the Daz Commons I announced a brand new site which will concentrate on only the Male Figures for Poser/DazStudio, and products related to them.  Something of a one-stop-shop location for items that are for all the male figures.  Going back to the Millenium Boys, M2 etc, many of which are now either no longer sold, or available here at Renderosity, could gain a new life over at that store.

Many people have been asking for products that have long since gone into Clearance or no longer are sold anywhere for M2, the Millenium Boys etc.  And since I have been working with the Male Figures of Poser/DazStudio for around 5 years, I decided that apparently there is a market for many of those products albeit maybe a small one, but it is still there.

So I would like the opportunity to tell the other merchants like myself who produce male figure products, textures, hair, clothing etc., that they are welcome to come to my new site and sell their products if they wish.

The site will be ready by mid-November 2007 and is called DigitalMales.com

The site will be kid-safe, and will support all figures both past, present and current which are male.  There will be no female products on the site unless packaged together with the male products.

I look forward to hearing from those of you who had products for the males you might be interested in still selling somewhere. If interested, you may reach me at the site via Merchant (at) DigitalMales (dot) com.

DigitalMales will in no way be a competition site to Renderosity nor does it seek to become one, I just wish to serve the community with a place for older products as well as new ones to be located in one place.

Greetings,

PS: Admins, if I placed this in the wrong area, please move to the appropriate one.  Thanks! AR

If, as a smaller/specialist store, your store's total overheads are lower, then it may make some sense to offer the older products for male figures which may no longer be available at larger marketplaces. 

Also, if the creators decide they don't want to manage a store of their own, they might consider working with your specialist store.  However, there are several such smaller shops already being run by some content creators, although they are not exclusively for male figure-related content.

Sure, in concept, it will be useful to have a specialist site with a good range of the type of content you want to feature.

All the best.

Well, I have received great interest from many producers of male themed content, and many customers who dislike wading through hundreds of V4, and A3 items before ever finding something male.  So that sounds like a good start.

I guess we shall see how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think this is a great idea. Although I only recently started selling, I do make male characters and often have trouble finding stuff for them which is why they are mostly naked in their promos. There is alot of free stuff around but it's not nearly a good enough quality (with the exception of a few) and I usually don't keep them. The females have so many nice things for a reasonable price, but the things I found worthy to buy for the males are usually far too pricey for me to get it at the moment. Of course I would make my own clothes if I could figure it out but I guess that is definitely not my cup of tea ;-p

I wish you luck with this Antonio, and I will be looking forward to the site.
