Well, Chris, we both have our opinions. Mine is you get what you pay for. I know what that script can do and the programmers time putting it together and its value to sponsors is certainly worth the price IMHO.

Yes, one could no doubt find or make a cheapie one I know, but in terms of handling real-time delivery flawlessly, zero server throttling, minimal drive space storage, and most importantly making sure affiliates actually get listed by having not 20 static galleries but thousands of different looks and configurations on demand and still allowing for static descriptions, It is the only one on the market was built to make sure affiliate galleries get listed on the major TGPs.

You won't get that out of any freebie, nor even a $200 script. You will get a lot of dejected affiliates turned down, not the traffic you expected, and possible blacklisting at the big guys with a cheap script -- that I can assure you. Or you can just ask the big TGP owners and get their confirmation on this. Just my two cents.
