lol Marque

Woooooow, LOL, baha baha, LOL, many is that right $99.00 for a basket ball, must belong to Michael Jordon or Euwing....Sharen

LOL Snow. Just think what the price would be if it rated five stars. For $99 I hope it sings and does a little dance. Actually, I'm reminded about the fellow selling apples on the street, with the sign "$1000 Each". To the comment "Man, you're not going to sell many apples at that price!", he answers "I only need to sell one."

LOL....well he has a point....LOL...Sharen

It must be posable...hahahahaha... :)

Nah, it's a "smart" ball, goes right in the hoop :) I'm pretty tempted to put together a texture pack to turn it into a : tennis ball, golf ball (with added bump map), volleyball, soccer ball, etc.... What would be a good price to charge??

lol. For half that price, I'll sell a real basketball. :)

Yah, you gotta love the squid. I've seen things just liek that going for a lot more. Problem is, there are fools that will buy it.

Well, I think it is a swell lookin' ball. Now, please, tell me where i can get the matching tennis shoes. I know my kids will be wanting them.

I'll be away for a couple of days. I'm going to make a box to sell on that site. Do you think if I included a couple of different textures I could get $150?

LOL gryffnn, it had at least better come with a bump map. :) Pariah, is that what thumbnails on Turbosquid look like? I actually didn't find that there, but I'm heading back to the site tonight to look for more affordable products like this. ;) SnowS

If this were meant for sale to people who couldn't make their own, the high price might be reasonable. For instance, a glassblower might take 30 seconds to make a little swan; he can sell it for considerably more than 30 seconds worth of labor, because the buyer likes a pretty thing but has no equipment or skills to make it. But this is a .3DS file, and the only people who can use such a file are those who already have the necessary equipment and at least enough skill to create a sphere! It's like the glassblower trying to sell his swans at a glassblower's convention.

Yes, that is a thumb for Turbo Squid. Try doing a search for Modelmasters. I think they have a lot of other goodies too at a privce only a fool could afford. =)

Now that's ridiculous, I think I will take a sphere throw a texture on it and charge $101, LOL :)

Make your widget, set your price, and see who buys. Don't sell enough, lower the price. Sell a lot, raise the price and call it new and improved.

Heh heh... damned if I'm not tempted to upload my Poser FlatPanel Monitor at TS for $300, just to see if it'd sell... ;]

What I would like to know, is how many actually bought this. I have a shere colored green if anyone wants a pea for their pea shooter, but the shooter will cost you 200. Unless you have access to the bendy straw in free stuff. Tashar 59

Ummm... This looks like a good enough place to plug my new product: Coming Soon! White Box by Entropic! Improved so that you can now create and add your own texture! 3ds format! Only $250! Buy now! Also available from Entropic: White Sphere, White Torus, White Campher Cylinder, and MORE! All models may also be purchased in any of 32 other colors! Paul P.S.: Do you suppose this is copyright infringement against the default sphere mesh for discreet? Bwahahahaha...

Note to Self: Sell custom teapot at Turbo Squid

Don't give the Rosity vendors ideas. ;)

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE BENDY STRAW IN FREE STUFF FOR PEA-SHOOTING ...

The bendy straw in Free Stuff is not certified for pea-shooting activities; users have reported misfires, hangfires, and weapon-jams at the bendy part. We can not take legal responsibility for any misuse of this product.

If your pea should jam, set the bendy straw down gently on a flat surface and seek cover immediately. Do not attempt to extract the pea yourself; do not look directly into the barrel of the bendy straw. Notify your local HazMat unit or bomb squadron for professional dismantling.

This has been a public service announcement by Little_Dragon Fun Stuff Ltd., a division of Psycho Industries. We now return you to your regularly scheduled rant against injustice.

Now you tell me!! Now, after I've been running amuck with the Bendy Straw all day and half the night, I find out it's dangerous! Actually, I found out it's a little more dangerous than that. If I ever get done rendering -- SOON. . the Bendy Straw at your favorite gallery, all singing, all dancing, allstar revue. Emily

Tickets for the Bendy Straw only $99. That's right ladies and gentlemen, Under One Hundred Dollars. Emily tickets for viewing only, no touching or otherwise communicating with the Bendy Straw without further arrangements with the management.

Oh - man - I could be a millionaire /me is leaving his company in a hurry to do boxes, spheres and (bow down) a combined box and a sphere - if a box would cost 50$ and a sphere will cost 100$ this should make 150$ then ... - marvellous ...

Hey thanks for the warning . . . and i found out the hard way it makes the coon shin cap mad when someone uses the bendy straw in such a manner.

I am seriously curious about how they do the star ratings - does it mean at least one person with too much money and too little brains bought this thing? Or they have a huge project budget - please send him/her to my store. (Disclaimer: ALL my customers are brilliant and talented!)

Aw, that's not fair! - how's a vendor supposed to compete with that kind of quality/price! - the markets just going to bottom out for us guys! ;)

You should see the BVH Files over there!!

$200 for one "Volley Ball Serve motion"
I tried to lowball them by putting up one of mine for sale over there at $40
but no luck :-)

Apparently its an unregulated free for all
over there with No verification of ownership
of the files uploaded.
so while you over there having a laugh
be on the lookout for copy right protected items of yours or people you know

and here I was thinking about putting together a set of 38, or 39 poser props, texture mappes, transmapped, and asking $20.00 ~sigh~ guess I'll have to start thinking higher pricing....at 99 per 3ds...a poser prop with tex would be worth what...200? times 38...yes 7600...wouldn't sell I'll stick to the 20 for the whole set. the set of props, for those that are curious, are a means of incorporating your copyright information right into your renders....unfortunately, it will work best when rendered with a good ray trace rendering engine..like bryce or vue.

You guys are killing me! ROFLMAO

I see that you've all forgotten about the $795 Poser figure ....

http://www.turbosquid.com/HTMLClient/FullPreview/FullPreview.cfm/ID/160323/Action/FullPreview

Although I notice that bioMechanix has engaged in some price-slashing recently ... it's only $149 now.

Yes... how attractive. No hair choices, only the "individually modelled" hair... and so realistic...

groan....seriously wishing my little mermaid rhino figure hadn't fallen apart when i converted it to mesh. my bills are due. i better settle down, tonight and make a ball.

I remember a year or two ago, someone posted a picture of a blocky little man they found on some site. All made of cubes, no features, but textured. They wanted something like $1500 for it. Any six-year-old could have made it. LOL Melanie

You guys are so damn harsh.... Can't you imagine all the time and effort that went into that cube guy ? And especially that $100 BB.....I think ts because of the autographs

gawd !! how do I turn off email me?(retorical.)

just to see what would happen I've uploaded a little something I threw together onto turbosquid, it's a nice set of masks & its a bargain at $50, I doubt anyone will buy it & if they do they'll want their money back straight away, I've had 58 people look so far but no-one's been daft enough to buy it yet. Rob

I wont be getting any money from my item on turbosquid I'd have to submit a tax form anyway and I don't want to take money away from plonkers, sorry I mean very clever artists. Rob

Hiram - your advertising is much, MUCH too modest. For the more technical user, you can fiddle with the scaling, and get (wait for it....) RECTANGLES! The possibilities are mind boggling!

Oooooh!! Oooooh!!! I hadn't thought of THAT! I'm gonna buy another one!!
