   Lunerpages...why are they so great????
  Hey everyone, I came across lunarpages and their design pages (http://design.lunarpages.com/design/index.php) and I am just wondering after looking at all these prices how they are still in business. Maybe there is something I am missing but who would pay $80 for a simple script that allows people to send you answers you type in a form on your site via email to your email address. Or even better $30 for a *basic* (keyword there :) ) counter. Just about anyone can program a simple counter. Even the ones that can't can download extensive free counter scripts that are relatively easy to install. I mean if it was a very extensive counter script with lots of options then MAYBE put it at $10 but even that would make me raise my eyebrows. So does anytone know how these people stay in business? Is it their designs I haven't been able to get samples of? Or what else could it be?[/rant]   
  They do it the same way those companies which sell smileys to people do it. There are plenty of people stupid enough to pay for crud when superior cheap or even free alternatives are available.   ;  Because the type of people who need those scripts (can't make it themselves) are either ignorant of the fact that free ones are available, don't know how to install free scripts (due to their computer illiteracy), or don't know that they're getting ripped off.   ;  Why are you complaining instead of exploiting this?If you can write a script, you can sell the same ones for $40 to these people instead of LunarPages' $80.   ;  I guess, I just am amazed at the money stealing that this site does to people.   ;  Well good point, I just don't think anyone would buy it. Everyone here could just make their own counter. Why do you think it'd be a good idea to put time into something like that?
