I'm considering getting a Prime membership. I understand that changes have been made that make it less desirable to long time members. I don't really care about that, as it doesn't apply to me. Looking at vendors who I like, there seems like there's more than enough stuff for it to make financial sense to get it, IF I wish to be buying the stuff.

My question is on the advertised freebies in the Prime ad (https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/renderosity-prime-annual-membership/87657) "- A FREE product sponsored by one of our fantastic vendors each month available to all current Prime Members. Posted each month as a FREE download for ALL Prime Members!"

What kind of items are these? Real useable items? or like texture packs for outfits you need to buy?

I've asked in a 3d facebook group, and those people who have prime membership say they know nothing about free items and have never seen notifications for them (only a very few answered though).

When you sign up for Prime you also gain access to the Prime forum which is where you will get access to the freebies. I just took a peek at the last two and they are real usable items ie Props and not textures or requiring additional expense in order to use. In fact the May 2016 is very neat and reminds me I should be checking these out myself :-) I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean that older ones remain available or that you had downloaded it previously? (just to clarify :) )

By the look of it you are required to download the freebie each month and it is made available until the day the following month's vendor product is posted.

I've had Prime since they started it. I asked about the freebies early on last year and then heard nothing except the equivalent of "we're working on it". Last month in going through the forums I found that they had indeed instituted monthly freebies. Apparently the monthly freebies come out at some not particularly well-defined time near the end of the month. The most reliable way to know they exist appears to be to check the PRIME forum. Once the new freebie is out they discontinue access to the old freebies, and I'm not sure why since they are posted in a PRIME forum that others, such as yourself, don't have access to if they're not a paid member. The irony is that if you ARE a PRIME member you can go back and see what has been offered, you just can't have any of them. I personally am a little bit ticked since I've been a Prime member; I have effectively had access one freebie for the entire year. Further, it appears Renderosity does not put these monthly freebies into your account if you do get to them.
