Ripped off? Victimized?? Gouged??? What planet is this guy from? ::sheesh:: I've been in the games industry for 15 years, and you don't see model prices as reasonable as these anywhere else. Furthermore, you don't get customer service like they offer anywhere else either. The folks at DAZ are hard-working and friendly, they want to please us, and they try hard to keep prices within our budgets. I'd suggest that Harbinger look at the costs of Maya models or Max models and then come back and say nice things about DAZ and Poser models. Carolly
