Quote - Prices for Poser product were very low and are now climbing to a more sustainable level in my opinion.
Compare Poser stuff which is a hobby market mainly with models built for 3dsmax which may be commercial sales and you see that discrepancies.
I use mainly freestuff or model stuff myself.
Agree 100 percent and will add...
there is no wiz bang new poser compatible character to create content for. How many mini skirts does V4 need? If V5 would have loaded into Poser directly I think then situation would be different.
Because as a result I think a lot of vendors have dropped out and there are fewer vendors (less competition) Go back and count how many texture sets you could find for the Marie Antonette gown for V4 and A4. Probably 10 or 15. Now it is a big deal if a hot selling clothes items gets 3 addon texture sets. Plus with the economy being what it is the unit sales have probably dropped. So instead of selling 1,000 of a given item at 8 bucks, the vendors have to rasie their prices to reflect the same income plus inflation on only selling say 600 of a given item.
Lastly in my opinion and I will agree, there is one other popular store that seems to have raised their prices more dramacticly then say here as a comparison, even if the prices here have increased some.
