I'm curious to find out what people in general thing is too high a poly count?  The reason I ask is that I create items in ZBrush and obviously those items can have extremely high poly count, but with ZBrush you can export lower poly versions and provide a displacement map for the texture (giving the appearance of a higher res model than it really is).  Do poser people use those functions?  I've made some really great models and I think with a little bit of honing in - I could sell them, but I don't want to just "plop" my items out onto the marketplace.  I really am interested to know what people need/want and what is acceptable.
