Hello Weeray,
It is always a pleasure to read your comment, because you are one of the rare impartial sellers on the TS threads and i appreciated.
Concerning your worry about the 3D industry.
From the beginning I have argued that a CG product reacts, from a commercial point of view, exactly as a physical product. That means: Quality + low price = sale
It's a simple equation that works since antiquity, that you sell a pair of sock, a car, a service or a graphic product
Now I can understand that you can feel hurt by seeing your creation dumped during a discount
It's a matter of cursor position - Are you more an artist or a seller?
If you are more artist in your heart, then uncheck the box witch allows CGT to promote your products, you will be reassured and proud to see your products at a good price .. But you must expect to sell less.
Or you're more a seler and you agree to sacrifice 30% to make more sales and increase your royalties.
Of course your products will be underrated, but you will earn more money and CGT too.
Personally I feel much more humiliated when I sell a product with a full price, and that I only get 40%
Since I read threads, here, regarding the new discount period, Not once have we thank the CGT team who ALSO participates in the discount, taking charge of some of the discount.
As elsewhere, there are also 20% discount but only on the seller's part..
Since this period of discount my royaltie on CGT have seriously increased, so I do not complain.
Additional argument, these discount offers decreases the gap with undercutters because the buyer will no more hesitate between the quality and the price :)
I wish you happy sale and congrats for you diamond badge :) The first is the longest, the others come much faster :)
