Hi all,
Has anyone ever made any money out of Turbosquid? Do you think that it is possible to make a living at it? 
Yes, if you own TS.
The first to make money with TS is TS.
Did you have a bad experience with them then? 
You can make money from turbosquid - not likely in selling .blend formatted models though. Maybe in selling rigged Maya or Max models that could conceivably be used by lots of different studios. TS takes more than a fair share of the sale.
I would be willing to say you can’t make a living at it. But you can make money. Is it enough money to compensate for the time you put into the work? maybe…but not in one or two sales. Unless you don’t value your time high.
Good luck.
i think making a living would be very hard but if you have some models you made for your own projects and don’t need anymore for anything else then it doesn’t hurt to put them on turbosquid. making some money (for example for buying stuff from the blender store :)) isn’t that hard…
last I looked at Turbosquid they take 50% commission and all they have to do is host the models and do some self promotion…
It seems to me the best way to make money in cg in general is to broker other people’s talent…
That’s a good attitude to it… sell the stuff you have sitting around anyway, if someone buys it it’s all profit, and you still have it and you never run out of stock…
