 |
|
Hey everyone.
I need to buy a certain font for a project. The price at most sites such as Fontspace.com have it listed at 29.99.
Then I came across Fontmarktetplace.com, and it's selling for 4.99.
Now I'm a little incredulous because that seems way too good to be true, and I've always assumed that prices for certain fonts were the same at all sites. Is this "fontmarketplace" a legitimate site? I don't want to give them my credit card info and they rip me off.
Is there any kind of screening process graphic designers use when signing up for sites and buying things such as fonts, images, etc?
If anyone can help me out with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I have no knowledge of the site you mention, but I would be wary of the price being considerably lower than the rest of the competition.
What is the font you are looking for?

Thanks for the replies.
The font is Ashley Crawford.
http://www.fontmarketplace.com/font/ashley-crawford.aspx
^here's the listing at fontmarketplace.
I also noticed the BBB certificate but still am not sure. Is that a pretty worthless certificate?
I was browsing through there "Most Popular" fonts and they too are listed at 4.99. At fonts.com, prices seem at least $30 to over $100.
It doesn't seem right.
