trip out

May 24, 2008

Ok so a while ago I started selling on the SLX again, despite my general dislike of how they run their show.  I really needed to weigh the dislike against improved sales.  So far I get a lot of traffic, not so much on the sales.  But while perusing the marketplace to see what other things are selling well I keep seeing these massive ultra modern housing nightmares that are selling for 80 or 90 USD.  Do people buy these monstrosities?  I mean hundreds of prims worth of house.  Stock textures or freebie textures.  A few gadgets.  Ok my builds don’t have many gadgets but I am trying to include a few, most notably more use friendly locking doors and some privacy windows. Why I am obsessed with that I do not know. Anyone who wants to see in your pad just has to cam in and getting beyond a locked door it dramatically easy if you have any furniture in your house.

I mean is it a size thing? I can build big although it just happens much of my work is smaller and very budget friendly. I am working on a tower right now (think wizards tower) and so far the base is only 18 prims. I doubt it will be more than 30 total and the whole mess should end up well under 100. So once I have my massive building do I turn around and sell it for a ton of L$? I think I really need to re read my marketing books. I have been trying to provide affordable product to encourage repeat business but it may be time to up the stakes and create some pricey product.
