Here's a clue for you: I made more sales in 2.5 WEEKS on Renderosity with La Femme, than I made in ** 2 YEARS** at Hivewire on Dawn, Dusk and Luna content.

Apologies for multi-posting. (Can anyone tell me wth button I'm not clicking to allow multi-quoting... or is that not a feature here?)

And, have you examined whether or not that was because of Hivewire's more limited marketplace, more limited "gang-on" support from other vendors, and the fact that Renderosity is a much larger marketplace with all that entails? Hivewire is a "smaller-pond" marketplace. (It's possibly an example, IMO, of moving from being a big fish in a small pond to being a small fish in a big pond.")

Marketplace Support is A Big Deal ™. Every marketplace in this industry has a captive audience. The larger that captive audience (Those who very much prefer buying from it) the larger the potential for baseline sales for any product. Units moved. Transactions complete. Every "potential" is much larger, even with competing products on the very same page. Smaller markets with less participation may allow for larger penetration, but will likely move less units overall if there is a larger marketplace.

IOW - The comparison is fairly meaningless without knowing much, much, more. I suspect you've just experienced the differences between releasing a new figure in a small market versus releasing one in a larger market. And, with more vendors in this market comes the prospect of complimentary products pushing sales of the original product as well.
