I have had this conversation with my contemporaries in this business (including Miko) and it's a double-edged sword. Most have no idea the time and labor involved to produce a good quality skin (never mind the amount of time and effort Miko put in developing his framework), support it and keep it upgraded. The profit margin is slim to none even selling at $45 a pop. It isn't worth doing stock skins if you are going to give them away for $15 - $30 each. Having said all that, I think Miko and Bob have under-priced these skins for what you are getting with them. I think they are probably worth twice that but they would never sell them at that price. I hope they do huge sales numbers!
I understand where you and others are coming from. I do. But to many people a $20 skin that looks good and works is more attractive than a $45 skin that looks good and works. For all we know the $20 skin may have had about the same amount of time and work put into it as the $45 skin.

is one such example.
Just saying. I do understand where people are coming from. And I do understand what people are saying. But I just can't justify the price. Regardless of personal feelings.
