Yea once we get technical, 3d artists do have the ability to make most peoples eyes glaze over in seconds :) You're also right some product types do tend to sell better than others. Theres also the element of luck as well, sometimes things just become zeisty. I've even had stuff thats not sold a single copy for months, then all of a sudden it's just rocketed. For the adult market, to be honest I don't know. While I don't have personal issues with that kinda stuff, some funding sources can, so if you're borrowing check that out. Also a trusim about diversification and most certainly with equipment. A 600-700 camera can easily lose 500 in 2 years. PC's even more. Quality and price is a harder one. My aim for quality and beyond low prices, which for sites which need to charge per mb or by item count can cause debate. It can also upset other artists who prefer higher prices over quality. Though your last line is the most important, it's vital to get and react to feedback. Not just customers either, but from the community as well.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
