Comments: Template Monster templates could be either developed in-house, or by freelance developers. You may even find templates from established template suppliers included. There's no standard set of features or signature design approach. That results in a wide variety of templates. Their pricing model is quite different. A single use for under $100, but pay full price of several thousand and you take that template off the market, except for people that have already bought it.

Cool! All the themes look glossy :)

Nice list - the link for TB Methys under Themebrain (#3) is broken, and should point to themebrain.com/.../tb-methys. Nice writeup!

Thanks Shad. We'll get that fixed.

Thanks for including ThemeShark! We do have a free theme for anyone who might be interested (actually three, but two are Drupal 6). The Drupal 7 one is Blacksea: drupal.org/project/blacksea

It was done before we started building everything as responsive, though.

There is also MoreThanThemes.com which is a good Drupal theme shop and has some beautiful free themes.
