While it is nice to have cheap prices, and it can be annoying if you like someone's work and then find you can now longer afford their work. On the other hand I always look at the item and ask myself a couple of questions, firstly could I build anything similar and then if the answer is Yes (pretty rare) now long would it take me to build it. Assuming the answer to the first question in yes but it is going to take me a month of my hobby time then I think $22 is relatively cheap.
I would rather spend an extra few hours doing what I am skilled at and use the extra income to do what I can't do easily. Then again these days I do the same with my car, I would rather work in the warm and let someone else get cold and oily servicing the thing. I guess it depends on your skill set what disposable income and free time you have.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
