Anyone considered or followed through on selling 3D models to a company such as Viewpoint or an online database like
http://www.turbosquid.com ?
I was wondering If it would be a remotely profitable thing to have going on the side? Im not entirely sure that a few $ would be worth it to have your hard work out there in the public domain. Since surely once a few clients have bought it its gonna get leaked like the viewpoint and infografica models? Thoughts?

If you ask me its a nice platform for selling old models you will never need (again), but modelling extra for that seems to be a bit silly. However, i gonna try it out with vehicles and weapons amybe characters. At the moment i just sell a shark i done with the guy 1 year ago. nothing happend so far...

Seems though that if you wanted to sell some of your models via their site, they would probably want it rigged and including some morphs.
I've talked with Beau Perschall, the guy who runs TurboSquid. I tested a couple beta softwares that he helped manage. You might shoot him an email, get him to talk about which items are sellers, which people are making money on the site, what it takes to make something sell, etc. He's a decent guy, he'd probably be open about it...
His email... bperschall (at) turbosquid.com
Tell him I said hi.
I think you should really ask them to give you your name back...
