If you like it, go for it. At $20 it's a steal.

My one complaint is that the large red bars distract my eye away from the text, but that's just me.

why is it worth so much?

it matters how you look at it.. personally..to me this whole WHT template selling is a shame. It's total BS ... people selling stuff for this cheap.

I used to be a designer and would of laughed in your guys face about this.. the minimum I would ever take for a template was like $300... and I made a good living off it but deceided I wanted to move on to better things, Ie: system administration

so now I see this and look back and laugh.

Ya, it is a shame that everything now is being sold for $5. Someone was advertising a few months ago, to do a whole site for like $50. You could probably make more money working at McDonald's for the amount of time you will have put it.Originally posted by kdghsu

kdghsu doesn't seem to undertand basic market rules. The price for templates has simply adjusted to economic equilibrium between supply and demand.

For example, if the template I was looking for cost me $300 I would have made the conclusion that I will make an effort myself and spend the time it takes to get what I want. But, if the same template cost me $200 I would be willing to "exchange" my effort and buy the template.... etc.

Not really.. like EVERYWHERE off this board is still booming for web design... I don't see how people would put soo much time into something then sell it for like $5.... it's a waste.

Webhosting Talk's prices that float around are NOT a market indicator, how funny.

hahhaha

Ya need to get and look around, you template designers are just licking the "Iceburg"

But then their is a big difference between a template designer and a web master.

A template designer is only doing one part of a site that needs at the minimum 10 other distinct parts for it to stick around.

http://www.devimg.com ... nice portfolio samuel. :-)

=) thanks

The price you get for the template (or another product) is ALWAYS the market equilibrium (if you expose the offer to a certain number of people). If his template is worth more than $5 (which it probabely is) someone are going to bid more.... and he won't sell it for $5, but for THE MARKET EQUILIBRIUM.

Your opinions about what price it "should be" is irrelevant, because it will sell for the real value anyway. I recommend you to study some microeconomics if you don't get it.

Thank you for your opinion on this microcasm called WHT, was just noting that this is a small peice of the web is all.

Perhaps you should as well. Things can and do sell below their equilibrium price just like they can often sell above that price. Just because something sells for a certain amount does not mean that it is at the correct balance between supply and demand.

He is right, THE MARKET EQUILIBRIUM is the result of the demand/supply, but we are currently in the imperfect market so you may not hit the price that is at the equilibrium, but the one that is for example below. Just think of the arbitrage or the least cost dealing in the FC exchange markets? This is a im-perfect world (market) :)

We're going off-topic again ;)

Okay, back on track. At $20, it's worth the price. But I will prefer some lighter colours for the bars. It's rather distracting...

Otherwise, clean design with friendly user interface - a bargain at $20 IMHO.

I did make a reservation bye saying "if you expose the offer to a certain number of people". And, no thanks! I will never study micro again! Never!

hmm.. i like the design... i dont know why.. but there is something very neat about it...

i would definately pay more then 20USD for it ;)

The nerd aspect is cool isn't it =)

Please note thread topic and feel free to start another thread on what things 'should' cost verses what someone is willing to pay for it.
