So you'd only buy it if it's even cheaper than normal?

Is nobody willing to pay for quality?


The fact is that at the current full price, my locos are already far too cheap when you consider the time, effort and skill it takes to make them. For every one I sell, what I earn will just about cover the cost of a cup of coffee at one of the cheaper cafes. That's in return for two years very hard work. But it gets worse, because a large number of buyers wait for the frequent sales, so it's not even a soda pop, never mind a cup of coffee. To then say that you'll wait for the sales, before you've even seen the finished product, really does make me wonder if I should have been making hats for Team Fortress 2 instead.

as i said at the beginning of the thread i fully intend to buy 2 copys of it for certain. alright maybe it won't get you a bottle of the good stuff but a decent cup of coffee is also a pleasure in its own right

Dont worry, we will, pay for quality(at least i know i will!),but in case you haven't noticed, us americans are very cheap! !*roll-laugh*! !*roll-laugh*! !*roll-laugh*!

Hey I'm not cheap.... I just don't like paying 14.50 for a burger and fries, when I can get that for less than 6 bucks at McDonalds. !*roll-laugh*!

Hats for TF2 isn't a bad venture, at least people there are appreciative for them despite moanings of it being a cosmetic simulator.

I will gladly pay full price for any model of yours. It's a no brainer that it is worth the price.

Most DLC I buy I feel like I paid too much - with yours I feel like I didn't pay enough. It's truly top notch stuff.

It's heartening to read so many comments that support my own opinion that the Connie and FEF-3 have always been underpriced even at their nominal price.

Even though it's on steam for $20, it really should be higher since the quality is much better than most of the DLC that's being sold.

Another screenie, this time showing the accurately-modelled reversing lever, now complete with its latch mechanism (for locking it into the notches).

Me thinks I wonder why with your level of famousness (I just invented that word) that you really need DTG or you would be better off just marketing direct? Like how many FB friends do you have and so forth? Kind of from a sort of marketing guy not having a clue how many copies were sold at retail, sales, discounts including cut for DTG Steam and anyone else in the food chain.

Good golly I sound like the Old Prof. *!embar*! !*roll-laugh*!
