Encouraging price offers

I mean, I only sell here on CGT and things are fine...

Like, selling here isn't my main income source so its not an issue. Maybe a badge for 'Trusted Sellers' or yes, more encouragement of price negotiations. However on the flip side, I'd be more likely spending time talking prices, than selling models.

I like this topic and support you.

I think the price negotiation is a nice feature, but I don't think it is a good idea to encourage it, because eventually people will get used to it and they will ALWAYS ask for a lower price, and they might even get upset if they don't get any discount. Also it would be very annoying for the designers to have to write back and forth with the buyers every time to secure a sale.

I have 2 thoughts:

1) I think sellers should price their products based on what they expect to get. This means that a seller can offer a lower price on a site that gives a higher commission (such as CGTrader) or raise the price on a site that gives a much lower commission (such as a TurboSquid).
However, some sites (again, such as TurboSquid) tend to price the models at "market value", whether this means way-too-high prices or lower prices to match other sites.
In other words, you may not have control of the pricing at some sites.

2) I don't think sellers should compete on price because there's always someone who will undercut you. Instead, sellers should compete on quality and features.

And I turned off the "negotiate price" feature here at CGTrader since people were offering me $5 for a product priced at $40. I could maybe give them a 50% discount/ $20, but $5 is way too low.

Initially i thought too about counteracting TS actions with price offer, but as others already mentioned, that probably would backfire and we would have yet another wave of mass price dropping. I'd rather remove my models from TS, than compromize prices on CGT - it simply not worth it. I wonder why because of shortsighting and dumb decisions of one marketplace, we have to ruin our experience on other marketplaces?
