		<description>[...] Looks like we&#8217;ve found another niche: In general, I would avoid the theme auctions at DigitalPoint.com. The quality of themes is quite mediocre, mainly driven by a commercial mindset and quantity not quality. Most of the designers are from places like the Philipines or India. For the most part, their work does not measure up to the best independents in the North America and Europe. For the moment, their work is mostly cheap knockoffs. (source) [...]</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s a consumer regulated market - ie, Wordpress consumers don&#039;t want to see ugly sponsored links on the bottom of their blog, so they&#039;ll more often than not look for an alternative.

I think that&#039;s borne out by your research above - beona fide links are more easily accepted - but those themes opened and found to be filled with sponsor links - either not installed, or soon uninstalled.
