Quote - I am happier to buy quality over quantity any day.  There are a handful of vendors that I have no reserves about buying their products at all when I see something I like, because I KNOW without a doubt that they have taken their time and have produced a good product.  Likewise there is another handful of vendors that I have to REALLY think long and hard about whether or not I will buy something because I have been burned in the past with cheap products.

I agree 100 percent with what you have said, even to the point I have an excel spread sheet that I keep. It lists hair, hair textures, clothes, clothes textures, buildings and props and body poses. I rate vendors just like in the review system in the marketplace or 1 to 5. Plus I make notes off to the side about that vendor if I ask questions and or point out errors and they reply or not. That all said, if I see an item from a vendor I have rated low that is unique, I will wishlist it and then watch the forums and or galleries for comments or images. And yes a vendor who I have rated low to start with can and do improve their craft and I do re-rate. Likewise I have products from vendors whom I rated high who I feel have rushed a product to market with flaws and they can and do get rated lower over time.
