hehehe it could be fun → I can see all this customers using VPN’s and “strange” accounts for payments only to get 2 or 5$ cheaper price… this is how you would kill the market for sure because all customers would leave this mess and go to elements for sure where you pay once regular price and you get everything 
he he he (which is “whatever” for me - I am on elements too so go ahead

I know it’s not easy…may be this regional price may require some customer experience.
US: 49$, Greece: 20 Euro, Turkey: 49TL *
*: if you have at least 3 purchases from Envato.
In Turkey Spotify and Netflix has special prices.
As an example Spotify is 17.9TL = 2.8USD , in USA it’s actually 9.9USD
yes but remember that for example netflix offer is slightly different in different countries sometimes:
Netflix (NFLX) offers its streaming movie and television service in more than 190 countries . 1 However, the content you watch at home is not always available when travelling between countries ."
And that’s why you have many VPN services offer where they say: “unlock US Netflix offer in your country using our VPN” etc. Little mess and we still talking about subscription model… here on the market we are talking about “pay per item” which means the mess would be bigger.
in my opinion not worth. 
Also different prices for different countries would be rude… why for example American should pay more than Indian customer? Both groups could be unhappy because American Customer would be angry for higher price and Indian Customer would say: "do you think our nation is poor and we need special price treatment? "
Believe me - too messy thing. For me there is no difference between rich country customer and poor country customer - dollar bill looks the same from both of them for me hehe
It’s easy, let’s ask an Envato elements staff if they think that the bonus they are giving is charity, or social assistance, like you guys are saying
Yes there is, people just have to check the amount they earn without the bonus to see if it’s terrible or not…in other topics EVEN ENVATO STAFF says that authors have to take the bonus in account before thinking if Elements is for them (because they know otherwise the total sums are not too good)
that’s why you don’t see good themes or templates in Elements, are you seeing too much WP top sellers in Elements? No, because it’s not worth it
That’s why after four years we never got something so basic as a downloads counter, because they don’t wanna show how much people are earning per download.
as we said in our other post that you dodged, this topic was about sales, and whether Elements was responsible for it
But that’s goes against what the staff said. When people complained about the aggressive Elements banner ads, they said that Elements and Market were aimed towards completely different buyers and Elements won’t be poaching customers from the Markets
WP themes and this kinda items aren’t Elements main fuel for sure. But as AE Template author I earn pretty much the same amount as on main market, if not taxes EE earnings would be even bigger than VH earnings. So it depends
^ Before when I wasn’t submitting that much it sucked and I relied quite a bit on the bonus. Now even without it, I earn more on Elements. I’m not sure where all this is going or if it’s sustainable, but after reading Collis 2019 statement, I can understand why it’s done.
Also you got your quote mixed up lol.

yeah sales are a mess! oddly enough , envato who has moved to USA is charging the USA tax thing on all sales but are they going to apply what some american companies are pushed to do for guys working in restaurants and so on , thus earning their livings on tips and others? because we are facing the very same problems in the end, all the sales have collapsed dramatically for 3-4 days now and i guess that this may last for a good while at least one month …
