Quote - I might venture to say that this place is somewhat like some trying to sell quality handmade items at a flea market. One, you have to root thru all the inferior stuff to find the good stuff and two, since it's a flea market people expect cheap, even if the quality is superior. I'm not pointing to any one vendor or vendors in particular ;o).

I think that's quite an astute analysis. 

Even in the couple of years I've been into this, I've seen the number of new vendors and products steadily growing, but I don't know if the available number of dollars is really growing, which will of course tend to drive prices down.  Then you get people asking "why should I spend for Alice or GND, when I can get SuperDuper Girl on sale" (no knock meant against SuperDuper Girl if there really is one, nor any other Girls).

But yet, the Artist needs to make enough per unit to justify his/her efforts, and also has to contend with pirates.  It's a tough place to be.
