I am seeing stuff sold here that really is just bad, Some I would not have touched back in poser5 days. you have really top notch makers selling stuff here next to amateur stuff that is a joke for about the same money. So "How do you determine the price of a model?" then

Yep, but that's true at every site. But if it functions as intended and doesn't cause problems when working with it then how good it looks or its quality is subjective. Personally I think lower quality "thrown together in an afternoon" stuff brings down the value of everything else across all the stores that cater to that type of content. But If brokers restricted what they were willing to accept to just the best of the best based on their opinions then they wouldn't sell very much. So as long as it functions as intended then its up to the customers to decide if they're going to buy it based on the promos they're shown. What bothers me more is all the massive sales that basically turn the store into a clearance house and devalues the content across the board for everybody. Once in a while is alright but constantly is ridiculous because it trains people to only buy when there's a massive price cut. So you have bundles of content that would normally sell for $200 or more piece by piece discounted so drastically that people can get the whole thing for less than $10, making the shared profit for all involved literally pennies per sale. But then I look at the quality of the content offered in some of those bundles and realize its really not worth more than a few cents anyway. But again quality is subjective. But it still irks me because those same bundles can have hair and other content in them that actually does take skill and time but they're getting paid the same that the other not-worth-much content is getting.
