For example shape looks even nice on pic,but costs more than 200L,but when you buy it, face looks ok, but body is awful. as for all/most things that are for sale ... if there's no demo, don't buy it. Doesn't solve the "why" but prevents the "awful" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimoMaximo Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 A demo should be unusable for all purposes other than demo, until you buy the actual product. How is it supposed to be done on a shape asset? a demo version means give the shape away for free, so at that point you wouldn't buy it, you'd just walk away with the shape and bye bye creator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only way to prevent a instant copy of the product. Edited July 11, 2018 by Alwin Alcott 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitsy Buccaneer Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Giant hands and feet used to be the norm for shape demos, no mod of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Gilruth Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 even dont understand why someone should buy a shape, creation is really simple also for newbies and the prices are ugly 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Pancake Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Avatar shapes are one of the least secure assets in SL, I can fully understand shape makers not wanting to issue a demo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not.. simply run. And if you want to use your own skins/appliers, use the demo wise.. you can see all on it already. 3 hours ago, Holger Gilruth said: even dont understand why someone should buy a shape, creation is really simple also for newbies and the prices are ugly it's not only the shape you buy, it's the total look including stylecard, it's pretty normal you pay for it, not saying that 1k is a good price for that, but around the value of one/a few dollars is quite reasonable. Most shapemakers do have to buy the skins/hair etc themself to make a look , some mark up is not to much asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
