The longer I think about this the more sad it makes me. Don't you know that vendors are people that put a lot of effort in their stuff.

What you saying is that that effort isn't worth paying more then a dime for.

Why on earth would vendors make products any longer when they aren't appreciated, or even worse are only appreciated when it so dead cheap,

one cannot even get the costs out from buying software or addons to make the products in the first place!

thistledown super dissappointing!

I do understand that vendors are people and they do put a lot of effort into their products and I also accept that, in general, the prices for content are far too low and in no way reflects the effort. In the past I have paid $49.95 for a highly detailed spacecraft just for the fact it was so highly detailed and something different and I have, and still do pay such amounts for something a little different. The point is that these are niche products and I am not going to spend the same for say a dynamic dress for Dawn when I can get some very good dresses at around the $5 mark.

In the past I have used my Prime membership to try out some vendors and then moved on to buy a number of full priced products from the same vendors. That was before Prime was trashed and I don't do that anymore, I don't shop here at all anymore. The reason is simple, when Rendo is taking a Prime subscription and one of the benefits is a monthly 'freebie', which of course it is not, I sort of feel uneasy. When it is then discovered that the paid for 'freebie' is not commissioned by Rendo but is donated by a vendor, I find that immoral.

I do feel sorry for the vendors and I am prepared to pay a more representative price but not here at Rendo.

For the record I have picked up many items from Daz at 70%+ off, or $3-$5, admitted that is for some quite old Poser content that has probably earned the Vendor a fair bit over the years. They work in Poser and many are the same quality of a lot of the stuff here so there are sales that are real sales.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
