Dunno.  The very best vendors can charge higher prices and hopefully get more sales.  If they get to keep a bigger slice of the cake, I guess it may be worthwhile continuing.  

One thing I wouldn't make any more is human skin textures.  There are so many around now, and so many resource packs, they have been hugely devalued.  People generally aren't interested if you made it from raw photos or a resource pack and they'll pay very llittle, considering the amount of work that can go into a texture.  Doing it the hard way really is hard work for little reward.

My intention is to sell models, rather than texture sets, this time around.  I'm sharpening my skills and when I feel I can offer a good enough product or two, I'll get them up for sale here.  To be honest, I really could do with the money; even if it ain't much, it'll be useful.  In any case, models generally have a greater perceived value than textures, even if the work involved is the same or less.  Plus, they have a potentially longer life, since (for example) a model Volkswagen is still a valid car, even after Victoria 25 is dead and buried.

I guess the trick is to make a model that's popular enough, well enough made and different enough that people will want it.  Too far away from current trends and you limit your market.  Too close and you run the risk of duplication.  And, of course, a lousy model does your reputation no good at all.

But, having been a vendor yourself, you already know these things.  :)
