Also this is why artists have masterlists - so they can keep track of who owns what piece (s) & how its being sold/traded by enforcing the rule that its required for them to fill out a form when they resell/trade the art.

I can see both sides to this -mainly towards art for OCs; As I avoid DPs as much as possible I use to get upset when someone would ask me to resell something of mine that I put my time into, and sometimes really liked the end result. It hurt my feelings to an extent. I felt like my art wasn't worth it to them to own anymore. However, I know view it differently. I would rather my art go to someone who has intentions to use it, rather than it sitting in someones folders/stash/imgur/etc. collecting dust and never being used. I personally do this. I won't delete art made for me, even if I got it from free shops, as it's made for.. me. But I no longer have intentions to use them and I don't think I ever will use these pieces that are in this folder of mine anymore. I am not a person who likes to associate with IMVU anymore. 160x220 art to me = IMVU art. This is why I no longer really purchase art on here. Even after disbanding from IMVU as a whole, it is still attached to it too much for comfort. DA is where I purchase my art now (Besides from a few artists on here like Luxor, PrincePol, Mishtqiues, etc.) because most artists on there are fully aware that 99% of their art is going towards a original character that it could possibly by sold at any given moment, even before you finish the art they commissioned you in certain cases. As someone whose spent a lot of money on characters that I have owned for years at a time, I feel like I should have the right to re-sell a character and it's art I purchased. As it's my money I spent? *Hoarding a character to resell simply for more money is a no-no tho* Obviously I have no intentions of getting more than what I spent. I go out of my way to avoid artists I know don't allow you to resell art or don't offer art outside of 160x220, and if I do happen to have an artist that doesn't allow it *as I know a few that I order from that don't allow it* I let the new owner know they cannot use it - and it can only be used as a visual reference for the character / other art and I deduct it from the total price since they cannot personally use it and I am not allowed to resell it. IMO I feel like reselling should be allowed. This is why I am moving to DA slowly. People don't take reselling personal. We understand that you've put your time, effort, etc. into these pieces. But I'd much rather it go to someone else who has intentions to use it and not collect dust; as I said - I personally wont use it because I fell out of love or lost interest in a character I got the art of.
