It is granted that I live in a skewed little bubble. Almost all of my friends / aquintances work for themselves... usually freelancing in technical arts or as designers. So we have the flex hours and so on :) I know that if any of us takes a contract for $30 an hour we feel like we are maybe breaking even for our time. Hell, the last few weeks of learning poser to up my 3D skills was because I would be better served by putting the time into my skills and landing a higher $ contract. None of this is to say we are rolling in $$$... prices here are high (we live in/around NJ & NYC) so the numbers are higher here anyway. My point is simply that when I see a poser item for $65, I only have to ask myself if that prop will result in one paid client hour - or save me an hour or two of my personal time. When I look at the "changing hair" I don't see $65. I see the THOUSANDS of dollars I would have to pay a 3D guy to develop the hair I need. It's a bargain :)
