"aftermarket" libraries

What is the best way to get other object libraries? I have no clue how to use gdl so i am very limited in the ability to get more detailed objects. Is there any place to get free ones?

There's an Object Repository on this Forum and http://www.archibase.net/gdl

Be warned, sometimes you get what you pay for.

Do you really need new libraries? I'm asking this because I used to think the same way before I knew I could do my own objects without gdl... It's not editable and of course not the best solution, but as far as I don't know gdl, that's how I manage to solve some things.

Ive been working on using that procedure, and you're right it does work well with simple to intermediate objects, but sometimes i need more complex objects or dont have the time to fiddle with making one. though it is quite handy sometimes
