I suspect a big problem for talented vendors is coming up with product ideas. I stop at several 3D websites in my daily surfing, and look at the new offerings for use in Carrara (meaning Carrara and Poser format). I typically find nothing much that's really "new", just more sexy (supposedly) female clothes, weapons, cars, etc. Some are well done, but I already have a number of each, so I just turn the page. But there are some really creative offerings by some vendors, e.g. London224 here at Renderosity. I have a half dozen of his products, like the Da Vinci Glider which inspired this:

This one will probably inspire me to do an animation:

Another example is Dante78, whose medieval offerings have already inspired an animation (the medieval part starts @ ~0:57):

I don't think the images for his products do them justice, they look kind of dull brown, but they really have some nice textures. Also, I think he has made progress in providing good value and better functionality (interiors, opening doors and windows, etc.).

Anybody found any other creative vendors?
