The easiest option would be to have a second store that is user created items, for the things that are not basic, and have those be a higher price. But if an item was to be priced higher, it would have to meet a far more stringent quality level...

I think all the practice I'm getting with the items knowing they will be going into the shop eventually pushes me to get better. I think once we, the users, ARE good enough to step up to a higher quality, a second user made shop might not be a bad idea.

And Demo - I thank you for your vote of confidence...but when I look at the items wishie pixels and the items I pixel - I do notice things that I should have done differently and things that she is just so freaking good at...I think this time next year i might just be a lot better.

But I personally am just honored to walk into the newbie forum and see newbies wearing the stuff i made. It makes me very happy and sometimes I want to go, "OMG I MADE THE SHIRT YOU ARE WEARING!!" but I mostly end up going, "Hey there! Cool shirt" XDDD

I don't want to reign myself in creatively....I am making a lot of basic pieces but I also want to push myself to make more advanced stuff as well. The scarf and the dress are stepping stones into better and bigger pieces in the future :D If I just kept making shorts and shirts - I would never push myself in a creative way to get better.
I think that isn't a bad idea. It would definitely push us to practice even more. I already like the quality of what has been released into the shop so far. That's just me, though. I know that it's not about me. xD Even if a separate store wasn't made and the newbie shop still got new items with the same quality as the mina scarf or the boots, then I think that the range of prices should be changed a little bit. Not so much charge up the arse for them, but they are far too easy to access imo. I don't want to feel like a jerk and say make Mina's items harder to go after, but then I keep thinking that having items so fancy easily available (when newbies would have to save up a while just for a single item that is just as good) defeats the purpose of what the store is all about.

As I said I recognize what continues to happen in the newbie shop isn't up to me. I don't want to go around ultimately saying 'DO THIS, DON'T DO THAT, IT SHOULD BE THIS WAY'. I don't want to hinder people from expanding their imagination and trying to improve their pixeling.
