I have no complains about buying in TurboSquid, but it depends of what you need as a buyer.

The first item I bought there was the Kain character for Michael and I think it was pretty cool.

Since then I have bought many things there, but all of them were job-related (I recovered the investment).

But you have to be careful: Some time ago they were selling a wall (6 polys) in about 5-10 dlls.

And a guy was selling an item and I bought it just to find out it was a fraud. They were very kind and returned the money and contacted the original creators in order to get me a discount. But I was very nervous for a couple of days.

There are some things you can't find anywhere else. But the same can be said about Renderosity, Daz, Poserworld, etc. It depends of your needings.

That's my opinion as a consumer.

PS Rigging a character is hell.
