Why should I spend $99 on this when I could spend $15 for a similar theme on ThemeForest or a site like that?

(Not being snarky, I've never bought a theme on any of those sites and don't really know about how the licenses and stuff work.)

Besides the improved visual design, the key difference with Modulz is that it's modular. Most themes come as full pages. If they don't suit, sometimes it can be hard to tailor them to your needs. There are also up to 17 different sections with Modulz, that's more than most thems ship with.

Nice, thanks for the answer.

Edit: So what is the license for this anyways? If I buy this, can I package it up and resell it? Can I use it for multiple clients?

You're free to use it for multiple websites or for multiple client sites. You can't package it up and resell it or share the files with someone else.

Cool. You should put the license somewhere on the site. (If it's there, I didn't see it.)

I think if you're a dev you're not really the target audience. Marketing and regular people are. (Or designers that can't code?)

actually, the offer here is raw html files which you need to edit manually, so it's not exactly out of the box either

i can't see any difference between this theme and others from themeforest either

No Wordpress, no database stuff to set up/maintain.

You must realize that ThemeForest doesn't just sell CMS themes, they sell HTML templates as well.
