Quote - I'd like to know the number of items for sale over at CP. There never seems to be a lot of new stuff being released. Maybe I'm wrong about this.

Actually, I would be willing to bet that CP has a far larger selection than Renderosity. After all, CP is made up of products from Renderosity, RuntimeDNA, Vanishing Point, Netherworks, and all of the other partners.
 
Also keep in mind the CP is run by e-frontier as a marketplace site. Renderosity has always prided itself on being a community site.
The Poser community has almost been trained to come directly here and ask a question instead of posting it in the forums at CP.
