Hmmm... I would guess that depends on the merchant, and why they do what they do.
Some merchants seem to have their own niche market and cater to them, others tend to go for more general audience.

My guess is that many of the merchant pieces on rendo come out of artistic inspiration, and become pieces for sale. Many things here seem more pictopresque in various ways.
On the other hand things on DAZ and on CP seem to be a tad more general audience oriented.

I could be wrong on this, but I think on DAZ, for example, DAZ people get to have  the final word on whether something will be sold or not, and it has to fit their merchadising ideas. Here on rendo the guidelines are much looser, and it's more resemblant of on 'consignment sales'.

would you mind sharing which outfit you're talking about... there's an off chance I may want to get it too :)
I agree with you totally on the super freaks clothing... I never knew it existed, and it could easily be more mainstream (well, judging by looking at the promo images)
