We would like to announce that our website [3dmodelz.com](http://www.3dmodelz.com) is now officially for sale.

Due to rising administrative requirements, and a concurrent level of commitment and time, we are becoming unable to devote the time that 3dmodelz needs in order to go foreward, without compromising our personal realtionships. Since we are unable to hire extra staff to reduce these duties, we are left with no choice but to sell 3dmodelz. We have thought long and hard before reaching this decision, which we do with reluctance.

We are presenting 2 options regarding the sale, as follows
Option A. The buyer takes possesion of the 3dmodelz name, website, and all content at 3dmodelz, which excludes the Marketplace stock at Renderosity and our other brokered stores.
Option B. Buyer takes possesion of everything, including full rights to all existing retail stock, at all our brokered stores.

The Website. 3dmodelz opened to public viewing on 1st December 2001. We currently attract 30,000 visitors a month, who request 10,000 - 18,000 page views per day. The site has been php based since February 2003, when we introduced download tracking. Downloads from the 3dmodelz site, without remote links, number on average 35,000 per month. These are downloads of the 400+ free items we currently have in our freestuff catalogue. Everything is now database driven, making introduction of new stock/gallery images/other content remarkably easy.

The Freestuff. We currently have 403 free items available for download, split into 20 differant categories. 3d model content is in Poser, 3ds and Max formats, with additional free items such as textures. Model content covers a wide range of subject matter, including buildings, weapons, vehicles, furniture and more.

Retail Stock. Our retail catalogue comprises over 130 items in total. Since 1st Jan 2003, these have generated over $16,000 of revenue. Content is split between Poser and 3ds formats, although we have 3ds formats of all our Poser products, which are included as part of the catalogue.

As stated, it is with great reluctance that we do this, but personal circumstances really leave us no choice.
