Helen I think that Huolong was wondering why anyone would buy a model when you can get the same model on the net for free. I have found that even with free models you can usually use in a render that you might sell as long as you contact the artist that made the model or texture. At least that has been my experience so far. The only restrictions I have ever run into were that I could not sell the actual model or redistribute (which is understandable), but I have yet to have anyone refuse to let me use their free texture, model or whatever in a render that I might sell. So farang, I'm kind of confused at your question. Are the things that you are seeing for sale, actually made by someone else and they are giving them away? Or is someone offering freestuff but someone else is selling the freestuff that is not theirs to sell?
