[Why demo products are sold for 1L$]

Thank you Ceera,

That actually gave me some informations more about what might come and really are useful.

Truly a solution provider, and thanks for the transfer demo tip, that I actually found myself many times into, not a bad idea at all. Might use actually xstreet as a source of demos,

[Why demo products are sold for 1L$]

I had thoughts about this issue in the past, what choice to make, if to change my policy and so on. I never had direct complaints about my demos at 1L but anyway considered someone can think it's a way to abuse the good will of  a customer or many other issues.

Seriously, I can't really even imagine how someone can even consider there can be any profit from 1L demos.

I can give you my personal explanation here:

- For me as main is a matter of tracking, I reach the transaction limit of 500 in something slightly more than one day, being able to take off the 0L gives me around one day more. I have really many freebies around and I find important seeing what people is interested into and sometimes I am unable to download the transaction history daily, which I also need for customer care purpose.

I am not sure how many know the amount of textures a skin takes, but I can give you an example here taking my hybrid line as example. I will not of course even mention the work on creating the skin itself, but just simple plain texture numbers as tga's made from psd files you are working on, and not even the tests but simply the final result. My whole 3 lines of hybrids skins, both genders, are made of 864 textures, and demos for the Hybrid line are made of totally new other 864 textures.Takes time to make demos, and is a necessary thing for a product of this kind.

IF1L cannot be understood as a simple matter of tracking, which IS, then can be at least be considered a small contribution to the demo texture upload cost which is 8.640L and a small thank you for those 0L freebies I offer and that grab me space in my limit of 500 in the transaction history.

But there is one option that would all of us make quite happy, asking Linden Labs to have that limit raised by request, and I do not think is a bad idea at all. And now that they merged the transactions with xstreet is even worst.

Anyway, thanks for reading folks, hope this can help you see how it works on the other side of the demo box,

Alia

 

 

 

 

P.S.

(To those to compare demos to going in a shop and not paying to try  something, did you ever considered the fact you actually try directly  what you buy, and that you do not have another exact same sweater for  trying. Do you have the ability to try at the Hairdresser and then say  when it's over I don't like it I don't pay you? Same with make up  artists and manicure?)
