A lot of coins for patterns.
Hello everyone,Have you noticed if you want to buy a pattern the coins you must pay for it, is too much or to high? Do you agree with me? It doesnt matter if you have enough coins for it.

If you are the owner of a file uploaded to pindiy you have to pay percentage for each download that...
But that doesnt mean you have to charge 200 coin for a small chart or pattern.I dont charge that much when I upload because I like to see everyone that wants a chart or pattern to enjoy my gift to the site. I rarely on principle download (or add to any of my collections) anything over the going price rate of 50 GC.It really has to be something special before Im willing to pay extra. This has nothing to do with how much money I may or may not have, but that I simply wont be part of the process that helps to inflate prices. To make up for what the extra charge forum charges the uploader (which seems rather outrages and unnecessary to me) I rate when I download if there arent any problems. I also think the uploader should be conscious of the collective download cost, that is price + all files cost together when pricing.
But most of all I think that if people price their patterns too high it simply wont sell. I had uploaded some patterns that I actually mispriced as I was new to the forum (I meant them to be free- so was trying to "price" them at the forum cost of 20 GC, later prices 10 GC I believe), which sold only a little for a good reason but when the forum automatically raised them to 50 GC not at all. And I knew it the moment it happened. They were now overpriced. In other words I made more off my patterns when they cost less and what people thought what they were worth, than now. Especially now when there is such a demand on peoples coins. So if people price something at 100, it will depend on how many people think that pattern is really worth the 100 GC plus the forum costs. Lower it and there will be many more people likely to buy. I have noticed that most people still consider 50 GC in xstitch to be the standard even if prices are quickly rising. Lets keep it there. i have adjusted what i ask for to allow for the new "upload tax" .. so yes, mine went from say 70gc to 100gc on average.. but i also like to give away coins. There is often a fat red envelope on my profile or i gave 1000 gc for the game we played y/day. I am very lucky that i have a nice stash of coins to fall back on but i remember how hard it was to start out, so i love to give coins freely to newbie members. :) sharing is caring after all.

Prices are often to high, I want people to be able to use and enjoy!
It seems to me that they are some too expensive, the coins that are asked And thanks for the coins gifts This has been going on for some time.Prices are often to high People see othersraising their prices so they are now raising their price. Its ridiculous, the max should NOT be 999, but more like 50 - 75. People are so greedy and it doesnt matter how many coins you have. If you are the owner of a file uploaded to pindiy you have to pay percentage for each download that others do ... agree that you have gone from 10% to 30%?? static/image/common/user_online.gif CraftyLouAnna static/image/common/clock.gif 2018-7-5 23:07

Yes, I agree.I want people to be able to use and enjoy!
I also find that a lot of the new patterns being posted are 200 coins plus the 30 coins for downloading the pattern.I agree that the prices are way too high especially for some that are next to nothing to make. last time i saw a pattern for 300 gold coins!! thats way to much. when i joined the price for a brandnew pattern was 100 coins...so i agree, where does it end
