WDF's style set
 
Reply with comments if you have any, please.

edit: I'm not saying I will sell it, I'm just interested for other reasons.

SaintDog 02-28-2003 12:34 PM

Are you looking to sell it all in one sell or multiple times?

filburt1 02-28-2003 12:36 PM

Multiple times ideally; if I auctioned it it would probably only be once. I've never sold a style set before so I don't know what's best and don't know details like whether I should include the PSDs, etc.

SaintDog 02-28-2003 12:44 PM

If you intend on selling it, you should at least include the logo PSD's so the person(s) buying the skin can change the title. The remaining PSD's, of course, would be your choice, although you would probably receive plenty of e-mail asking for them.

As for selling it, I would sell it off multiple times. You would find many users are willing to pay a low costs regardless of the times sold, over paying one large lump sum.

filburt1 02-28-2003 12:44 PM

There's also the issue of pirates who rip it. I can always put in call-home functionality but it can always be found and removed.

Rufus69 02-28-2003 02:02 PM

I would pay up too $200 for it, if it came with psds, ect, and all the template mods too ;)

filburt1 02-28-2003 02:05 PM

Well obviously it would come with all the template mods including the welcome panel that everybody pesters me about to no avail. I'm leery about giving away the postbit PSD but don't have problems selling it with the header PSD which IMO is easy to make.

Also how would I go about selling it? Is there any online retailer or do I just have to do it myself?

SaintDog 02-28-2003 02:13 PM

Basically, yourself and with PayPal or another Merchant processor.

Okay then :) Any suggestion for antipiracy measures? A call home is easy but the most common.

Rufus69 02-28-2003 02:16 PM

how bout a, "only sell it to one person"?

filburt1 02-28-2003 02:19 PM

If you are seriously willing to buy it at $200 then I'll be glad to keep it to one person.

Rufus69 02-28-2003 02:21 PM

if only I had $200 but I see places like vbpanel and place selling stuff for $300+, and your IMO is waaay better :p

filburt1 02-28-2003 02:21 PM

I'm not a trend wh*** :)

Rufus69 02-28-2003 02:25 PM

:|
ehem....I'm just saying, that if I had that money, It would feel like I was stealing from ya ;)
"only $200!!! for that awsome style!?!?! he got hustled!" :P

filburt1 02-28-2003 02:27 PM

What I meant is I strive to be different from other styles. Most style sets are liquid design with the goddamned pixel font everywhere whereas I use Lucida Sans Console like a crackmonkey and have a static layout. :)

SaintDog 02-28-2003 02:28 PM

A call home feature will not stop others from pirating it, it is a chance you take. While most will be honest and buy it, some will not and will take it.

Rufus69 02-28-2003 02:30 PM

yeah, look at adobe, some people must buy Photoshop...:p

filburt1 02-28-2003 02:30 PM

Well it won't stop others from ripping it but it'll allow me to find out who ripped and get their hosting cut. I hate selling software and nontangible goods :(

Rufus69 02-28-2003 02:33 PM

just add a "made by Filburt" on every image :P

SaintDog 02-28-2003 02:34 PM

heh, well it is part of it.....just have to deal with it in some cases when you are selling things on the net. Getting their hosting cut will work, but then it is easy to get more hosting from another provider.

Then you get *some* of those in China and other places where copyright laws are all out of wack and then they refuse to take it down because they have not violated anything.....

Rufus69 02-28-2003 02:35 PM

and remember, some people host themselves. ;) and if they have an ISP called Comcast, then they can get away with anything -_-

Tony G 02-28-2003 08:33 PM

I say between $15 to $25, probably $25 at least.

filburt1 02-28-2003 08:40 PM

For those of you who voted for more than $25, how much more? Remember this also includes all the feature enhancements that WDF has like the last thread title on forumhome and such.

Rufus69 02-28-2003 08:43 PM

I already said ;)

but if you are going to sell to more than one person, I owuld say abour 30-50.

Well after that, I'd say $40 would be a good price.

and helperbot? :p

Tony G 02-28-2003 08:48 PM

I'm sure that was a hack, can't come technically with a 'style'. :p

I might throw it in mainly because I can't be arsed to undo the template changes that HB uses. I did write instructions for him.

I would pay $200 for it, unhacked style only. psd's for the header too.

Tony G 03-01-2003 07:59 AM

$200? Woah, well for one person only it's worth it.

manex 03-01-2003 11:23 AM
