Fantasies Realm -- are they still there?

At FRM you aren't forced to be exclusive vendor, nor with exclusive products. If products are exclusive, it's written in the URL, to emphasize it's the case. Kind of "guys, don't look in other markets, you won't find that somewhere else" :laugh:
I don't know on how many sites he is always (since the end of CP, and PoserAddicts) but Farconville has/had several same products on at least 3 stores.

There are newsletters sometimes the year. And we try as much as possible to advertise on forum, and social networks (the FRM and FA profils; but also our own when we have our own products and if we desire to do that).

I think that's an important policy, especially for small stores.

I also put out newsletters, though not a bunch so far. I use MailChimp for newsletters. And have a page on Facebook. It's the only "social network" I'm on, except these 3D forums.

I do really appreciate a list of who all has sites, yes. Not a problem there. And I've been to Summoner's site. I didn't see anyone there except him at that time.
Just that there are a number of other smallish vendors, myself included, who are looking for new digs.
I do have a store at Renderosity, but am still limited to three items until I have a certain amount of sales, and already have two items in there. Which means at most I can move one item out of my collection of products to Renderosity. Do I retire the rest? Put them on vacation for the next year or two? Or find a new store?
I am sure that I'm not the only person having this sort of an issue. So am open to suggestions of who has stores so I (and others) can choose from. (Yes, already looking at Fantasies Attic and Dana's store.)

You should write to them and ask them about that 3 item limit until a certain amount of sales have been reached.

It was stated firmly in the rules. And mentioned recently. I don't think it changed in the last month.

I don't think its changed for anyone except that if they can automate the HW venders over (the ones that want to go that is) they may waive that (since some will have more than 3 products). I know they are waiving the QAV because its already been done here. Worth checking into.

In my list of other stores, I forgot to also mention the mostly Poser store "Teknology3d", which has a specialisation in toons figures.

Now there's a name out of the past. Don't think I've seen anything Teknology3d since RDNA closed it's doors.

No, they're not just at DAZ now - Teknology3d has a shiny new store at .com/shop/

So, to be back on the question in the title of Rowan54 for this topic.
We always are in the process to be back. DarkAngel has to work almost from the beginning for few things, due to the update for the new server.
I'm thinking to her now like an octopus :laugh: , because she is working also on Fantasy Attic forum issues.

For those looking for the Christmas page, know it's safe and sharing zipped packs. I tried also the Halloween page for this year, it's working, so probably are for the 2 previous years.

Okay, update time.
I've been talking to Renderosity. Apparently some of their rules are subject to discussion. Including the "3 items until certain level of sales", and "old products". As in, if you're possibly heading there, write them an email (there are links on the site) and ASK. It's seems to be on a case by case basis, with priority given to any HW vendors that are willing to show up.
Anyhow, it looks as though I'm *probably* going to end up as exclusive vendor on Renderosity with all my items in one store. (Things are still in discussion, but it looks hopeful in that direction.)
(My apologies to Fantasies Attic & Dana....all of this means that I'm probably not going to have anything in either of your stores....at least, not at this time.)
Anyhow, given the amount of discussion in this thread, I thought everyone would like an update.

What an exclusive vendor status do?

Well, it means you have products in only one store. Because of that you get extra perks. I'd have to go find the list and read it to remember exactly what the Renderosity perks are. However, if I remember correctly they include slightly higher cut of the take, and the exclusive vendors seem to get mentioned on the front page a little oftener than others. I'm sure there's other stuff.
