Why do people break sellers' marketplace??

If you see other products of the designer, they have much more reasonable prices. My guess is that he is trying another strategy to sell. But still, it is way too low.
This Elephant model from the same user is painfully low priced:

Knowing how much hours and effort it takes to make something this quality, it would break my heart to sell it for $4.95.
I'm not saying anything, but it is rather dubious.

I would agree 3 dollars for a swimming model like that with almost perfect low poly geometry, fully textured and rendered posed etc... should be priced higher. I did not check if the model is T posed or not and if it is rigged or not.

If the model is not t posed and only posed in the swimming position it could cost less because it will have to be used as is and to re pose it and make it symmetric and usable for animation would require a considerable amount of hassle and work.

For the greater good, if we have proof like @mthe-spy says, we should inform CGTrader staff to ban the user account.

Stolen models are not allowed and they ruin an artist's work.

Stollen models should be reported and banned without second thought, but i highly doubt that author in question is vilain here. It's highly unusual that artist capable to create such quality works would ever attempt to do such stupid thing like selling stolen items. Besides, i took a look at that cadnav and it's pretty clear that it is just another warez site. Most likely it is other way around - cadnav is distributing model that was stolen from Artejaol.

Having said that, i completely agree that selling high quality models for extremely prices like in the links above, is disrespectfull to fellow artists at least. That seller should be ashamed for such activity.

Well said!

I also think underpricing models is disrepectful to himself. :)
When customers look through the marketplace, they expect to see certain models at certain prices. So when they see a model with a price that looks too low, they may wonder why the sellers is almost giving it away and if there's something wrong with it.
A price that's too low will have the same effect as a price that's too high: the price will be outside of the customer's expectations and they won't buy.

This guy seems to ignore people's suggestions. He's selling this elephant for 4 bucks..

That's a very bad example of seller. Hope that he didn't steal any product though.

GTrader is a serious marketplace. Judiciously it should avoid that kind of situations. I know that underpricing models can damage the other sellers but, if a buyer is clever enough he/she will discard cheap models. Btw, I really hope this model wasn't stolen

True the stealing has to stop... or at the very least the money from those accounts who steal needs to end up back in the pockets of the artists whose models got stolen.

Stop these actions teressio92. You don't have idea what i am doing. Anybody tooks a look on my web and on my other models before accusing me. Teressio92 cannot do my works and he needs to discredit on the forums. I will take action and I will talk with the cgtrader organization to avoid these actions against me and my work.

Teressio here!

Yes, sure.

I didn't want to blame you. In fact I've never said that your models have been stolen and I would never allow. I just said that I had my doubts and @mthe-spy had too.

The point is obvious and the critics clear. Think if everybody sells their products like you do, in a way that a mesh model, with maps and uvs is sold for 2 bucks only.

That would annoy them. Don't you think that?

In a regular marketplace, competitors need to sell over a well determined threshold under which they are not allowed t sell, otherwise they would damage the other sellers.

That's not fair but I haven't stated the obvious. I only said a normal thing..

My model was report by thief in cadnav: https://www.cadnav.com/3d-models/model-50591.html
Then my model was removed by CGtrader without reason.
