Quote - I'd like to see the pages come back as well.
As a DAZ Studio user, most products I buy here don't come with DS-compatible materials. That's fine; I'm used to making my own. But while I might immediately install my purchases, I don't always make DS materials for them right away.
I use the store's promo images as a guideline when I make my materials, comparing what I've done to the vendor's previews to see if I'm at least in the ball park. If those images are gone, I can't do that, and this makes me a little grumpy.
I've gotten into the habit of downloading the main promo image for each purchase, for my DIY content management system, but some products have many extra props and/or options and I'd rather not have to download every promo image.
I do that a lot as a Poser user, too. And not just when I'm texturing. Sometimes when I'm rendering something and my render looks a bit "flat," I'll load up the product page and take another look at the promos. LOL Sometimes doing that helps me spot where I can change lighting or camera angles to help my render...

Maybe the product just didn't sell well. One of the perils of clearance.
I really, really wish I would have been better about saving promo images. This is going to be nightmare... I have some pose sets that are absolutely gigantic (especially the ones with partial poses... sigh
