Quote -^i understand, but you are missing the point that those items have not sold a single copy for nearly half a year.

Half a year?  That's nearly FOREVER in Internet Time!

Quote -the issue isnt with the clearance script, or with Rosity. the problem lies in the general attitude here.

...

this is the only community on earth where there is this 'hippy commune' mentality when it comes to vendors and items in the marketplace.  theres nothing admirable or noble in preserving products that noone wants.

...

many responsible vendors will actually remove obsolete products on their own to keep their store nice and clean - often they put them in freestuff. some refuse to do this, and want them to clutter up the marketplace for eternity 'just in case' theyll make $3 off it from a sale years from now. this is where some intervention is required - for the sake of the marketplace, the customer and other vendors.  

if you do indeed want these products, then i suggest that you purchase them and/or help draw attention to them, their niche and the vendor making them - since the complete lack of sales/interest is the exact reason they are being removed from the marketplace. 

^I understand, but you are missing the point as to why the "clearance" script is not good for customers, and can hurt your sales.  I've bought many products from here over the years.  V4 has been around for what, 4, 5 years now? (longer?) I have a LOT of content for her.  Some of it is old, but that doesn't mean I can't use it.  Did that outfit by Pretty3D decay on my hard drive in the past two years since I used it?  No.  But even though there used to be 4 texture sets for it 2 years ago, now there are none. 

What made this item in my runtime obsolete?  The clearance area.  Yes, I've tried to buy accessories for items I've bought years ago, and why not?  Do you all only like making money on "new" products?  Is that $3 that you might actually have made not $3 more than you had?

I agree with tiggersprings up there about "spreading the word" and whatnot.  I'm also a small fry, I can't buy every danged thing I want when it comes out, nor can I predict what I'll want in the future.  I cannot think of a way that I could spread the word about a product or a vendor that would get something I needed back from the memory hole known as "clearance."

I realize that you can look at it like you're creating a product and you're marketing it and you're important vendors with sales graphs and such, but we, who you refer to as your customers, are often times just people banging out pictures, and sometimes the need for a specific prop in our pictures doesn't always coincide with your marketing schedule.
