Great information. I'm not aware of the politics among the various vender sites; however, I felt that the initial release of Genesis figures strictly for DS went a long way in contributing to the problem. As a Poser user, I felt consciously excluded, a kind of "go away, boy, you bother me." I get that DAZ wants everyone to use DS, but to actually try to force people to use it seemed a bit too arrogant and presumptuous. 

Of course, both DAZ and Renderosity have their member deals -- Platinum Club and Prime -- but if you crunch the numbers, neither is much of a bargain unless you buy a lot of product and that, of course, is the idea. 

I'll pay six, seven, eight bucks for a nice item, but when an outfit is going for $16, not happening for me. That's real money.

One of the things that prompted my initial post was a set of 20 poses for V4 selling for close to $8. For poses? Really? I'm sure I'm no different than everyone else; I grab free poses whenever I find them. I don't mind buying them if they're useful and relatively unique. The afore mentioned were not. And I'll admit, maybe I'm over reacting.
