That is a lesson in futility  I see so many request for things other than girly crap that go completely ignored or maybe the challenge to create these requests are just too difficult as they require too much clothing?  So my question is this if everyone wants girly crap then why are so many people requesting  real world items, historical items and things if this nature? I agree with Sean on many points I too do not understand why, for example, a so called firefighter outfit is released one week followed by another? This seems to be the theme over the last year a cloning effect. How many things of the same thing can we get?

All I have to say is this merchants can go and release all the same old girly and same old fantasy stuff they care to create I will not be buying it. The last things I bought was a great SUV model and a skin from Morris over at Daz.  I also model what I can't find but I am no great modeler and what I do model, so it would be to the so called masses, would be boring.

I can understand Sean's frustration as he isn't the only one.

You can go have a look at a piece I have on market right now, it's a good quality piece of clothing for apollo maximus (a wizard robe). loaded with morphs and goodies, probably twice as much stuff as one gets in an average top selling piece. It took well over 200 hours of careful work to create.
It sold in less then 50 pieces (which I gather are pretty high sales for this type of a piece). At this rate, I'm not even up to making $2.00 per hour for the effort.

I can't continue to make pieces of genre that doesn't sell, or if I do, I have to make it a LOT simpler, lower quality to make it worth my while as a merchant.  At the moment, I'm not willing to dumb down the quality, so I've moved on to making pieces in the genre that has higher chances of getting noticed and being sold in couple hundred pieces or more - so maybe I can get all the way up to making a minimum wage with them. :rolleyes:

The trouble with Poser content is that Poser is an application oriented towards rendering and posing a human body... so in a way that's the direction it's users head.  You don't see nearly as much of the same phenomenon with Vue or Bryce or other software (unless they are Poser content imports)

As far as historic stuff, props, houses etc, I will probably look into selling at cornucopia. They're gettin better known, and are not flooded with demand for female nudes or close to nude character packs. I think quality props will have a better chance of getting noticed there.
