I also wanted to comment on the issue of quality. For my purposes, what matters most in a clothing item is the object itself -- how it was modeled, rigged, and morphed, which determines how well it will conform to a variety of shapes and how it will hold up to a variety of poses.

The textures the clothing item comes with are of far less importance to me, although I do appreciate UV mapping that makes it easy for me to apply my own textures without having to do all kinds of contortionist tricks in Photoshop to get a weave or pattern to lie the right way on a sleeve or collar.

Learning to make your own textures for clothing is pretty quick and easy, while learning to properly model, rig, and morph a clothing item takes a lot longer and requires much more skill, knowledge, and attention to detail. So that's the part I would happily pay the vendor's asking price for (rather than waiting for deep discounts). But, unfortunately for those vendors, I wasn't able to identify who they were until I'd already bought and messed with so much clothing for M4 that I just didn't need any more!

For what it's worth: I'm only interested in conforming clothes b/c I put characters in way too many poses (and fiddle with the poses in each shot way too much) for dynamic clothing to be practical.
