*nods* I agree. I know that as a new and smaller breeder, my reputation is very important to me. I also always try to be business-like, fair, etc., and readily admit that I'm still finding my niche, getting a feel for pricing, etc. I like it when both buyer and seller are happy, whichever side I'm on.
Personally, I sell mostly on the Marketplace, and mix that with renting prims as needed to use the Love Shacks, Live Tables, etc. in world. Some times I've even been sharing a bench with an RL friend who's even newer than I am. (McDoogal aka Doug/Darlene/Danielle - I would say that his interest in KittyCats is all my fault, except that I know that it's just a natural extension of how much he loves his RL cats, past & present.) I briefly had an In World store, but didn't have enough kitties for sale to make it viable, and find the Marketplace more cost effective in general. I'm also loving these forums as an avenue for direct sales and trades, as well as information and community.

P.S. If there is something in my MP shop that you're seriously interested in and would prefer me to put out In World so you can purchase it, IM me. It is a bit of work, but I fully understand that some things you would rather see or do in person.
