pricing assistance in cgtrader

I think it would be hard to measure best practice for pricing.
Also a centralized system that could have a controlling effect on prices sounds like a bad thing, it should be the crowd that controls. That indeed can sometimes look like total chaos but it is best system to sort things out.

Ps. people pay for the things they need, making it cheaper does not necessarily make more need.
This is not a souvenirs market where some come to buy things if it's cheap (maybe it is partially so for 3D print?).

Most are looking for something specific because they need it for a project and they compare offers to get best deal.

Well, You are right with the 3D print market. It is still mostly a place for hobbysts. But maybe that will change with time. I was not thinking about a centralized system to set prices. It was rather about a more organised way to ask for a professional opinion.
Thanks for feedback :)

I've been doing 3D art full time for 2 years (not on here, though), and though I only create low-poly 3D work, my observation is that people tend to pay more to get a better product, they don't necessarily run for something that's cheaper. That is, if the quality exceeds expectations. People want to pay more to get a comprehensive, complete package.

I'd also like to agree with the commenter above, people buy what they need regardless of the price. (You love old horse carts, make them beautiful, you can price it from $2 to $200 - if it's not a popular item, it won't sell well.) There are charts available online that show what models sell the most and what the least, to get some more info. (Scifi vs. medieval, etc.)

Reasonably (!) high priced items sell well, while underpriced items discourage customers (it's cheap so it's probably badly modeled or the seller isn't very confident about his work.) Imho quality is the priority, then comes the pricing.
If you have value in your hands, you're good either way. You can manage marketing, promotion and pricing comfortably. The key is the quality of the product(s).

Spend some time looking for similar products to yours and price according to the median price of models equivalent to your model. But if you see that your quality is superior on the market then it's reasonable to put a bit higher price.

I viewed your models and they look great, no problems there.
What you can also do is maximize the range of applications for your models and reposition some of them to reach out to other audiences.

Most of your models seem to be targeting 3D print market, your also positioning the models accordingly.

But there are some models that could be perfect base meshes for retopologizing and baking normal's. Like for example the elephant model, there is good chance the model will be downloaded/used for that purpose (probably even more then people hoe want to print an elephant?)
So best to make a version that has a neural pose and maximum details and ad it in regular 3D models as a high poly base mesh.

Also the column and ornamental statues, hoe is going to 3D print this?
Are those things targeting a miniatures modeler community?
If so , do you have exposure on specific community websites regarding these activity's?

I would also make versions of those for regular 3D models and present them as base meshes for retopologizing and baking normal's, those things could be used in video productions, games and VR applications.

This type of thinking is part of product development and target positioning.
Also very important aspects for boosting sales.

Thank You very much! The models I have uploaded are mostly stuff I had sculpted or 3D scanned for my own projects, so I figured I can as well put them up for sale. But expanding to texturing etc, seems like a good idea, since it is a lot bigger market.
Still, I am not only talking about my case. I think that many beginning 3D artists would appreciate a "price assistance" feature withing cgtrader. Maybe just a general guide/tutorial, outlining price ranges for specific types of models (and how they can change if the model is medium or lower quality). Not saying there is anything wrong now, just throwing it out there:) It would benefit everybody, including senior artists, since there is much talk about the market being flooded with free and cheap models.
Cheers and thanks for the advice!

You can easily check average pricing on any models by yourself: https://elephant.cgtrader.com/ Just replace "elephant" with your own keyword. That should help you to better evaluate price of your own models.

From time to time CGtrader posts info graphics in the blog on selling models and best practices.
You also get these in mail when you subscribe to the news letter.

See some of them here

In general you are completely right, it would indeed make sense to have a dedicated section for these kind of things.

I would look at designers and other 3d models check there prices.How this might effect your price.
