While I'm all for people having confidence in mot only themselves but their craft. Sometimes it leads to people being egocentric.
In this case, I'm talking about certain vendors on Renderhub. Take Lisson4321 for example, yes he makes good looking models but some of his prices for models are close to $300. And though I may I think his models are good just not enough for close to $300.
Some of these prices are intentionally done like that because they know these models are requested here and they basically try to prevent a "pirate" to buy the asset. So they make the item very pricey and kind of live with the fact that nobody will buy it normally, a calculated loss so to speak. And if a pirate should buy it, then they in their mind "at least made him bleed".
I think that guy must be hitting the crack pipe any of his characters I see are not worth more than $20 IMO
That's basically what he told me just now. He figures with the cut RH takes from his sell and the fact that it could end up on RenderState(His words) if he is somehow able to pocket $150 from the models then he's fine with that.
@itsmenotyou Yep, especially not when venders like Mousso, MagicMaiden, Bluejante and CG exist.Someone with points to burn should request all normal priced items to drive up the prices and drive him outa business. Doesn't matter if they get filled so long as he prices himself out of of a job.
maybe that vendors price is based on the amount of time spent on its creation, so if its only sold one time, that covers the hours it took to make it and he gets paid for his time he spent on it. If more than 1 sells, its profit. Probably realizes after the first sale it will be pirated and will never make back in money the hours spent in time to create it, and would be happy just to sell one at the higher price, to at least pay for his time.
@Gts6 Your statement sounds similar to what Lisson4321 told me on RH as his response.
Vendors aren't dumb, they know that there are pirated sites out there. It's also why some of them have side work like private commissions. That said, why hasn't any other vendor used the same strategy Lisson4321 is using? Because it's counterproductive that's why.
PeepShow54, someone else has pulled that stunt. That guy who put up Kate Marsh from LIS for sale at the price of a crate of cocaine. I think we all know who I mean
