Gabe, Yes, lots of us are aware of that, but the problem is that we're used to it, maybe even spoiled by it. I know models sold in placed like Renderosity and 3dCommune are dirt-cheap compared with the professionla market, but I've gotten used to these low prices, so things like that ship look expensive by compasrison. But a lot of these low-priced Poser models are still of camparable quality to the more expensive ones, basically the same thing for a lot less. And a lot of the freebies from these poser and free model sites are the same quality and workmanship as some of the expensive ones.  And I will usually go with the lower-priced alternative, except in cases where the more expensive one is clearly bettr and the difference in quality is something I need.

Simply put, 3d hobbyists have it made, price-wise, if they know how to spot quality.
