Some one sent me an email, I guess trying to get my goat for standing up for what I beleive in...Some one sympathizes with my "poor" sales...Being that I'm completelly open with the fact that I support this guild, have from the beginning and will till the end, I have no reason to hid my response to that individual...the following is my response.... First of all, my sales are excellent thanks for your consern, my health is poor, but thats an entirelly different matter... I havent attacked any one, I've defended myself and the things I believe in, and if you can't accept that about me, then I feel very bad for you...You defend your beleifs I'll defend my own...I know the market place has lost very loyal customers, there once were customers who purchased one of every new thing to hit the store, they could afford it, and they threw money around like confetti....One I know of inparticular didnt even have a clue how to use the stuff, she just collected it, had to wait until she went to visit her artist friend in another state so she could learn how to use all those wonderful goodies she had bought...Guess what happened when her friend informed her that alot of what she had bought was crap, and being that she had held on to it for so long before going to visit her friend she could not return it...She still purchases religiouslly from those merchants she found out she could trust during that venture, but she wont touch a new artist with a ten foot poll!...So in affect I didnt loose a customer, but everyone to become a merchant from that day on never got that customer...You can say I'm looking out for myself all you want, but really I'm looking out for the budding artist out there who do quality work...I feel really bad that this once loyal to renderosity customer has become loyal to only a few...She could afford to buy more from new artists, but she doesnt trust the quality control of the store enough to take chances any more...in the beginning she did...so who lost?...
