500 gold coins does seem like a very high amount, especially now with the policy change. I know more active participation is desirable but I also wonder if Ill ever really be able to make any meaningful amount of coins.

Comments

Yes, it is a high amount since the people are struggling to collect GC. Some patterns cost a lot in real money but lately here we have also cheap patterns sold very high in GC. Thanks for commenting!  Post time 2021-3-31 17:11

Thank you for your well said comments Ghiromi :) I agree with it all. I know it can be hard to collect gc and that it takes time. Those of us who have been here for a long time started at zero too so when you get new member complaining it can be a bit annoying, I understand but it still bothers when some of us have spent a lot of time and real money to contribute patterns that they are bothered they have to work a little for by spending time and participating. I am sure once they are here for a bit they will see it is a pretty good deal. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and have a great day!

Im just curious. Could the bounties rewards drive the patterns prices up? Today I came across one that was offering 20 000GS. A few years back they were 200-500GS, nowadays they start at 1000+. Just an observation.

Well, in this case people are just greedy.  Post time 2021-4-5 18:30
I dont think so. I am one of those who put a high price for bounties because I want to help people get coins. As long as I can afford, my rewards will be high and I do not feel guilty for that. :)  Post time 2021-4-5 17:37
Ive seen those too, theyre for the MCG Textiles Kinkade Disney pieces. Theyre out of print for years, the company went bankrupt, and a piece fetches over 200USD. Id say thats a fair bounty.  Post time 2021-4-5 12:34

Maybe for some patterns we could base the price off the patterns price in real dollars. But it might be difficult to set a fair price for all patterns. Interesting and thought provoking post

Thats a good point!  Post time 2021-4-5 17:38

with the daily reward gone, would it be possible to reduce the download cost ? some books ore magazines have 5 or more parts to dowload, in the end, the download cost is more than the sharer is asking :-(

Comments

Unfortunately you are right: with the download cost the pattern or magazine itself becomes more expensive and this can discourage to get it.  Post time 2021-4-5 17:39

The point is:
pinDIY supports these prices and the greed of some members,
because
pinDIYy is an economic company and wants your coins
that is why many members now share the charts in private circles or on VK.com
The whole thing  is only about coins and business
Thats it. !!

Honestly a 400 GC for a tiny pattern is very very very pricey!!!!!
I agree that some never share but putting a huge price wont help other to gain GC it well make it hard to get!  
Edit: I wouold like also to point something is the pattern actually very difficult to make and very pricey like in 25 USD I really dont mind the prices of GC to be higher than 200 GC, but buying a pattern that at least cost 3-10 USD and selling it her with 200-500 GC is just too much!! i just reqeusted a apttern and the price is 400 GC for just a small cupcake pattern, thats why im against the prices now its too much! also sorry for my bad English i tried to express my feelings but im not that good in english.

OH you dont have to give me any GC, thats so sweet of you to do so, I already contacted an admin and told them about it, they only responded about how to get GC :/  Post time 2021-4-8 01:38
I run out of coins to give. I rate your comment when I replenish, ok? :)  Post time 2021-4-8 01:23
Hello Anna33. I understood your comment very well and agree with you. Some patterns are really expensive with real money but others are sold here more pricey than in the designer shops. Not right.  Post time 2021-4-8 01:22
