The people at the top of the pyramid scheme bully all the new modelers who show any sales success because they barely scrape by as it is so it is really bad work environment to work for Turbosquid is not worth your time.

Maybe CG Trader should consider a large add-on to the site, where the customers can click a link, and go to a whole new site (owned by cg trader) that does sells strictly 3d printable models :) Just an idea :). I wouldn't ever use their site just on principle. i think modeli unique and has need to be bought depend on the buyers not the seller It is a shame that cg trader has so few people using it but turbosquid has been going for some time now and is very well established.

I still get more sales on TS, despite having adjusted all prices to compensate their extortions. In my opinion, the worst Turbosquid is doing is minimizing the role and presence of the real content creators, being just a middleman reseller but trying to control all aspects of the product in a way that in the end the customer perceives it more like a "Turbosquid product" than a "Content-creator-X product". They did so by making products that looked so much cooler than PCs and people were fooled and then eventually they made so much money that then they kept putting back into the product and eventually came out with the Ipad which even all Apple haters love. it is a sad reality, some sellers are ready to buy a model of their competitor to post a bad rating.
