Hi Bob,
I didn't mean for you to go giving away your models- far from it- I wouldn't give away something I build for an income. The point I was making was that, while you've had bad experiences in the past, not everyone is unapreciative of someones hard work.
Evidence shows in fact that recessions tend to bring the best out in people- did you know that charity donations go UP by about 20% in a recession!
Good look with the business, and just think, if it is a problem now, you'll have a house full of stock when people have money again- this could be the time to do a bit of speculation- or find a couple of people with money who will commission you to do something for them, as I said, they will still want to invest, just not in the same things for the same money as before.
