I think anyone who has a picture and video only membership site would be hard pressed to buy traffic and turn a profit. A traffic broker isn't going to reduce the price of his traffic because pic and vid site owners profit and convert less than say cams and dating. The traffic is going to be priced on what people are willing to pay and come back and keep paying. Just like adwords or anything else, the market will decide the prices. If the traffic broker is asking too much and no one makes money from it he will be stuck with it. I am sure traffic brokers would rather have customers that renew every month, not have hit and miss customers.
I am sure in some cases that there are pic and video sites that buy traffic and make money. I think it would be a little easier for micro niches or if you happen to find someone selling traffic that doesn't know how good of quality they have (get it at a real good price). I can't imagine any cookie cuter, general porn pic and vid sites making money off of buying traffic.
Like you said though, you have other ways you can use it. Buy cheap feeder traffic for your trades, or to build up a tube site, etc... then try to filter the traffic and convert it into sales.

Heh - it's either me or the Blue Dream, or a combo, that's confusing. LOL
I was just saying that, IMHO, the only way to profit from buying traffic is in cams, dating or chat, I would think. Because I've never heard or met or talked to a paysite owner who said "Oh yeah, I spent $xxx on traffic, sent it to my paysite andf voila! I made 5 sales."
I'm just saying that, if it were that easy - something most everyone thinks at first - to just throw money at traffic, like it's a mathematical formula, then any and everyone would be doing that. It ain't and they don't. So i defy a traffic broker to show me, online or offline, HOW, exactly, I'm going to do the above. Cause I could be wrong, I certainly don't know everything, or much maybe. Just based on my own experience and that of others I've talked to who have similar businesses as mine, buying traffic and sending it directly to a paysite is worthless.
God I hope that was clear. The Blue Dream is kickin' in....
