Do you know this? You have a strange urge to buy things that are on sale, despite you feel that you will never use them at all? And you still buy? I recently discovered how much 3d stuff I have bought over time. First I bought to explore what possibilites exist. I bought tools and items to learn from them.  I liked Avatar a lot. I found some products to make very realistic images, I did not think would be possible at all. Then I got busy to develop tools on my own, but still kept/keep buying things that are on sale. And never used them. Some I think I even did not download at all.
I buy/bought with the bizarre thought of making a gain, even though it just takes money away.
I spend less than a smoker does, but still, I really wonder what that is.
Anyone else suffers from on-sale-addiction =) ?

At least I do not have an ipad or iphone. I guess then I would purchase useless apps ;)

I know the feeling, in the beginning of my poser life i used to buy plenty of sale stuff because one may need it later.

Gladely I dont have that urge anymore, except that im a sucker for original human models ( i try to buy all of those).

However, one shall not  underestimate the powers of a good sale :-)

I´m a sales addict too, DAZ makes it very hard to resist, especially if you´re a PC-Member. I don´t buy everything, things I don´t like won´t be bought, but I bought a lot of items I never used so far.

I lost controll over my stuff a long time ago, but it´s still cheaper than smoking...

I am a very bad girl when it comes to sales.

I'm also sometimes a very bad girl when it comes to sales, and I'm a GUY! :-P

I'm referring to shoes, of course. After seeing all the awesome shoe models available, I'm somewhat closer to understanding why you gals like to shop for them so much IRL.

Not much for characters - but shoes and hair - My wallet starts to run away at such times!
