Hi!
I really love the custom apparel system and community, and have been having a lot of fun drawing and buying!
However, I've noticed a few things regarding the price of the CAT that i think should be taken note of for future updates:
- While I understand and am totally fine with 100ms to submit for approval, an additional 100ms to relist is a bit expensive, and often a big gamble because you have to front 100ms with the risk of noone buying your apparel again. A few artists have expressed this, as their second printing sits without buyers and money is buried for a long time. This puts a brake on artists who want to make a lot of apparel and content for the site because they don't have ms disposable to sit idle.
- 100ms for each 5 means that each copy would always have to be at least 20ms, so we can't make smaller apparel to sell for cheaper ms, or even pebbles. This limits what kind of apparel people will draw.
One possible solution would be to make a second token that is a bit cheaper for relisting already approved apparel, that way people can pay the initial 100ms but sell their apparel cheaper, or even for pebbles, and eventually they can make back the money they spent for the CAT. That way we can have a wider variety of apparel and pricing, available for more people. This would also incentivize people so submit more, have more content for the site! This would also help artists who submit apparel to not have buried funds of hundreds and hundreds of moonstones in unsold apparel, which they can use to put into other aspects of the site economy!
This was written with the current economy in mind, which is still changing a lot, but it's initial feedback i think would be good to keep into account for future updates
Thank you quiche and the team for the work so far with communication and approvals.
