FWIW, I'll add my .02 worth as a non-vendor. The regular galleries fill up extremely fast already so that viewing them becomes tedious. I don't particularly want to see ads. Having said that, there is no reason that vendors should be penalized for using their own item in a piece of artwork, if the intention was for it to be art. If it's intended to be an ad, it belongs in the product showcase gallery. Probably the only way to determine whether it's an ad is if the vendor, or beta-tester gives credit saying something along the lines of "Now in the Marketplace", "Soon to be in the Marketplace", or something to that effect. If the vendor gives themselves credit by saying this model, texture, etc was by them and that's all they say; then it belongs in the regular gallery. People such as myself will be able to go to that vendors store if one chooses and see if that item is available. And if it isn't; then I suppose one could IM the vendor and ask when, or where to get said item. That could be a lot of trouble for the vendors if they get lots of IMs, but at least they would know they have an interested party! But in the end, as someone else said better than I could, you aren't going to please everybody. Just be consistant across the board.
