well guys, take into account though, that /small/ sites, one that don't have +500 copies of a 'rare' item and are not trying to make 'easy' money do it too and with better results

if tris were to release for about two-four days a recolor or even a re-release and only charge what was originally charged or make it an au sink i would not see the harm, it is an extra treat for those who are here regularly and would get some items that are no longer buyable back into inventories and if it is a recolor it would make for a little treat in-between the normal uploads and help the site either get a few more dollars or deflate the value of au just a little more


of course there are some things you don't fuck with, the original grant (anka) and events where the user /had/ to be there to get the item, gaia fucked both of those over a barrel with the halo and with the fluff bundle and it tried to make a /lot/ of money doing it. it is not bad to recolor in moderation but it must be treated like what it is, a variation of something that is already existing, not a new special thing and not an abomination of trust. a recolor should be a bonus for being good users and a small consideration for being a site worth spending on<3


that all being said i have not spent real cash money at gaia since 2009 and i bought runes here last month and will again next month X''D users will spend it where it is worth spending just both the spenders and the providers must know where the line is
