I've noticed something similar at 3dCommune. (I've only started selling
here in the last month or so, which doesn't give a pattern.) At 3dc, the
people who bought my stuff are all unfamiliar ... names I've never seen
in the forum or the gallery.
Speculation: Most of the folks who pay real money for a product are
going to use it in a commercial project, and they're not really into the
hobby aspect. They need the undisputed possession of rights more
than they need the interchange of comments and chatter.
Of course there's some overlap between the categories.
