If I could join in on the rant. :)

Along with good promo images, I think merchants should have a good product descriptions as well. Like Acadia just mentioned, a potential customer shouldn't have to spend 30 minutes looking at the sales images to figure out what's in a product: the merchant should spell out exactly what's included in the product description.

A lot of merchants do an excellent job of this. Since we're already mentioning Aery Soul, I think his (or their?) products have excellent descriptions: they list exactly what models are included, what textures are included, and they even include what morphs are included on each clothing model! Now that's being thorough. 😄

Yet there are some products with a basic description such as "This is a building". (Okay, maybe there aren't actual products with such a simple description, but you know what I mean.)
Why doesn't the merchant talk a little more about what's included: is it a prop or a figure? Are there any moving parts? What about the textures? Are there any poses, either to position figures in the building or MAT poses to change the color of the building?

And more importantly, is this product a texture for an existing set of clothing? I can't tell you how many products have confused me with their odd title and lack of explanation about whether it's conforming clothing or a texture set.
While I admire the creative-writing skills on some products, a long-winded fairy tale really doesn't help me figure out which figure the product is designed for... or if it's a stand-alone product.
