@brickmad74 Ah, the disappointment.... $10 for a PDF. I honestly don't understand MOC builders soon they start charging $10-$15-$20 for a download. From a commercial point of view, a lower 'purchase' price would attract much more people. When charging $10 you'll have many people saying in he end: maybe I shouldn't have purchased this, the result is that they will avoid buying others. If the charge is $3-4-5, they would attract many more buyers, who wouldn't be bothered by paying the price, should they found out they don't like it after all... An amount of $10 causes a certain barrier to apply a 'buy now', result is that fewer people will actually move towards it. So they might get 10-15-20 people to buy a $10 PDF (and gather $100~200) while by charging less, they *might* get 100 buyers at $4 (and gather up $400). I have seen this happening numerous of times...
As a sidenote: I'll give $7 storecredit for a copy should you whish to send me one, not a nice 'commercial' move towards the 'producer' of the thing, but then the only one to blame is the 'producer' IMHO
Personally I don't mind shelling out that much, at the end of the day someone has gone to a lot of effort and time to design the project they don't have to share it with us so I think it's worth it I paid $25 the other day for one worked out about £12.50 and it was worth every penny.
As a sidenote
sorry I would not sell on a PDF cheap that's just wrong the designer would lose out and I would probably be banned from the site from buying anymore and theres lots more I like, want and will get
@Stragus Tell me you never downloaded a song on the net, tell me you never watched a movie on a 'free streem', tell me you never listen to full albums or live gigs on You Tube. Tell me you never posted an image of a friend or a family member on Facebook without telling him/her or asking the person. Tell me you never ran a red light in your life, tell me you never drove harder then allowed. If your answer is 'no' on all counts, I'll accept that it is 'unethical' to offer a storecredit (which still costs me money) for a download, that I might actually never use because I might not have the time for it. In the end, the desinger is not losing out on it, as I wouldn't be buying it in the first place , as stated in the above message. However, should I do find the time and like it, then it might trigger me to buy a hard copy (or other ones), which is no different then to listen to albums on the net, then when you like it, you buy the CD itself (at least that's how I chose the albums I wanna buy).

Cool, I like the Hot Dog Corner, a nice addition to a Modular street, where did you get that?

Im a loyal person
It's looking great, brickmad74. I'm glad people are designing, sharing and building their own modulars, the hot dog stand is a nice piece of work!
