Quote - However, I would expecct to pay hunderds or thousands of dollar to have a custome model made.  

That being said, I do not know what any of them actually charge.  But I assume it would be an hously rate at an estimate number of hours to make and revise an item.

I recently asked a vendor about a custom outfit. I also wanted exclusive rights to it.

They provided me with a very detailed quote, and a final price of $1,500.00 which was about 65% more than what I had anticipated it to be.

I'm not a modeler and have really no idea what it takes to make an outfit. However, when I read the amount of hours and work that needed to be done on it, I was really suprised that the quote wasn't higher.  The amount of hours that go into making a single outfit with morphs and textures can be astronimcal.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
