If the financial limit is any higher than $0.00, it might be worth 
checking whether DAZ 3D has any suitable items in the Platinum Club 
Items category. Those are $1.99 apiece for Platinum Club Members, so a 
membership might pay off. (They also seem to have some sale on Fantasy 
stuff going on right now.)

BTW, DAZ 3D Studio Pro is free (as in free beer) and can handle most 
Poser content.
