I was wondering the same thing.  There are millions of models but I would like to know if any of them are actually bought.

well i do have a friend who made some mushroom models and he said he sold his pack 3 times. thats what got me interested.. modeling a bunch of game objects would be easy. and most of the models on there dont have texutres....


50 models at .50 cents = $25 model pack :P

Guess I should learn some modeling knowledge then...

When someone buys the model, how do you get the money?  Paypal?  Does the site take any of your money that you earned?

I actually was looking at this last night, the only problem I saw was that "highest rated" had merely 4 reviews for most categories, and only people who purchased could review, thus it didn't seem like these guys were making lots of sales though.  Oh the irony in our browsing patterns

Or maybe, most people that purchase don't care to review..

I doubt you'd make much off of it.  50 models to make $25.  You could make that in an hour working at a regular job, and I doubt you could make 50 models in an hour.
