    Sales opportunities are unwittingly being suppressed by Shapeways.

    "Not for Sale by ...." is a rough and ready option and may not aptly describe the status of the item.

    Some items require management in their sale, to ensure the item is complete and meets customer requirements.

    Could we please have the expression "Not for Sale by...." changed to just "Contact"?

    There are many sales result, if only the customer contacts the designer for such items.

    Regards

    There might be reasons why one would like to show a model without intending to sell it (and consequently without wanting to be asked), so
    instead of renaming "not for sale" (which would probably affect hundreds of models), I think adding another category would be more appropriate.
    I wonder if the existing customization feature could be (ab)used for such items where the designer believes he cannot offer the model without
    discussing with the potential customer first ?
