Quote - Also......the overall market gets bigger & more successful = the prices generally go down. That's what Wal Mart does. And Wal Mart is a MUCH larger company (and makes a lot more money) than Macy's does. Wal Mart defines "success" as a business: which is a part of the reason why some people hate it so much -- it doesn't adhere to the correct ideology.
BTW - in spite of what some people think -- prices going up-up-up is generally a symptom of an unhealthy economy. Not of a healthy one.
I am sorry. You are wrong; at least in this market. I understand though. I see how what you are saying seems to makes sense and should be true. But it isn't . So many people want this to be true in our market. But it isn't. It just adds to the problem.
-If CP was booming, ef wouldn't have sold it.
-If Poser Pros was successful, it wouldn't have been closed.
-If Rendo didn't have a propblem with items not selling one piece over months, there would be no warehouse.
-If the market was really growing, we wouldn't all be staring at all our own same faces in the forums everyday.
-If Daz items were so lucrative, they would go pack to paying thousands for "Daz Originals" oppose to a couple hundred.
-If The market was diverse, Renderosity and Daz wouldn't have the exact same charts on Alexa.(across years)
etc
etc.
The current problem is denial vs. what is real. One is encourage. The other concealed.
You talk about reality, accepting it, and having realistic expectations. Many do. I just don't see people taking their own advice.
