From an artist point of view CGCookie Blender market as been a invaluable tool; purchasing paid content for Open Source software encourages the developer community to keep improving and supporting them.

From a seller point of view it's a nice little source of extra income, but more importantly a great way to support Blender through the Dev Fund Contributor program!

I like buy models for my own projects, in this way can spare the modeling time, not doing the same by myself. Beside of that also like to learn from these ready products. If the model looks very cheap for a great value, then used to buy it also for the future, by this maybe also encouraging the vendors to produce more. Being citizen on CGCookie, of course enjoying the discount option too.

Blender Market is a fantastic place; you can find the better of about this software,a wide selection of insane and very accurate detailed models (both low or high polygon), very functional script and useful add ons and still fantastic shaders and also some tutorials and others useful resources at your work.
