  <body>I did this a while back and have had 45000+ free downloads on vecteezy.com already and I'm wondering if people would be willing to purchase them and for how much. Say $1 or $2 per texture?

I'm planning to do some more and see if anyone is interested. </body>

      <body>I think it's a good idea. 45000+ downloads on your free vectors is pretty amazing. A one or two dollar fee is small enough to where people wouldn't care too much. Seeing the amount of downloads on your other stuff, I think you could easily make a couple of hundred off of them.

Ditto.

I talk to some designers who are constantly buying textures, vectors, brushes, templates, plugins and so on and so forth. </body>

      <body>I can see why you wouldn't want people to copy you it's how you make money after all. 
but... It's much more worth it to me to learn something then to have it given to me. If you teach it I can add my own stink to it later on plus I don't have to worry about every Tom Dick and Hairy using the same stock. Only so many ways to slice a potato feel me.</body>

      <body>Lol @quaker I think my techniques are like the easiest to replicate. It's easy to break down if you think about it. No need for hours of DVD!

Maybe like a bigcartel or something, with just hi-res vector textures.
