My main point, though, was that you probably shouldn't try to do them yourself. Even more so IMO if doing them yourself means buying software and learning to use that software.

Yeah, I'm not expecting the icons I produce to be professional grade, I was mostly interested in generating some development placeholders that can at least get the general idea across. If I also decide to "bite the bullet" and go for the good professionals, what price scale would that be? Thousands of USD?

Depends on how many icons you need and how much the artist charges for an icon. If you need an application icon, a few document icons, and a bucketful of toolbar icons, then it could cost thousands depending on whom you hire. If you need an application icon and a half dozen toolbar icons, then no, not thousands. IIRC, I needed two application icons and about 35 toolbar icons. They were a serious investment, but I was happy with the result. I would never have been happy with what I would have been able to do, and I saved myself untold hours not trying to do them myself.
