I think this idea is going to encourage many folks that don't have the time or perhaps talent to try and make a quick buck off vBulletin customers.

Do not be afraid, offering professional services is not the end of the world - it's simply opening up a new one that vBulletin customers can use to their advantage.

I think the opposite - I think that capitolism will determine the ultimate success or failure of individual works. If someone puts up a mod that isn't worth what is being asked for, then people won't buy it.

The marketplace (i.e. you, the customer) determine weather a product is worth it's price - not the publisher.
