it is not complicated to code i think , and i'm sick and tired of all these companies proposing scripts with too much useless glitter for prices ranging from 1200 to 7600$, what a bunch of crooks.
a script like i described above should cost no more than 350-400$.

My oppinion might be biased, but I think a little different on this issue.
Good affiliate software, like NATS, is much more than just a "cascading" system with a few stats. The point of such a system is to offer the owner ANYTHING he might need to GROW his program to your "small" size to a bigger one. Your so-called "useless glitter" is what makes big programs big and what helps smaller programs to grow to a size where for example our $650 monthly lease price does not matter.
Good affiliate software needs to help you make the right choice at right time about various issues by providing valuable reporting and statistics.
Good affiliate software, in my oppinion, needs to let you run more than just partnership (percentage) based programs, but also per join or per active member type programs.
Good affiliate software needs to offer you advanced features like Follow Me programs or Console Free Tours or Cross Sale Management.
All of the above helps you maximize your ROI, and all of the above needs a lot of development which costs a lot of money. It also makes you a lot of money which makes the prices of the good products not at all too expensive.
