I just made my first one, took days, and to my horror, i find out that subeta wants MEEEEE to pay 5000csc just to SUBMIT it?? Am i reading this correctly? How do you people afford to have whole shops of them? I was looking to just pay it and it would be like $50 WTF AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?

50$ = You draw the item and then, you set up a board in the CW Market and try to fill 10 slots (you+9 users). So you basically only pay your slot. Once you do more, you make more profits by selling your items 700 csc (not all items can sell for such price. Don't sell a small item like a bracelet for 700 csc)

I'd suggest you to look around. Look how people are being slotted.

You can also draw your item, submit it in your shop for a smaller price.

I suggest you read through https://subeta.net/forums.php/read/7447/The-Official-Custom-Wearable-FAQ

and

https://subeta.net/forums.php/read/47882/Useful-Custom-Clothing-Threads to get more acquainted with how CW's are released and the different methods to release CW's into the market. Plus to look at other threads on the main CW forums to see how others release their items.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ping or comment me.
