you're right, the price is overcharged
do they still deliver you those USSR-style backgrounds at that price?
actually I've been talking about my personal experience
Selling content for few years I've had lots of dialogues like:
me: 100 per scene
customer: ok, nice price! where are you located?
me: Russia
c.: oh really? the price is too expencive for russian content! let's deal at 50
it was late 90's when dozens of photogs in Russia 'd rushed to porn, shooting girls next door with cheap cameras at home and selling it for peanuts. These days are gone. Cometition is tough nowadays so you gotta shoot top notch stuff at affordable prices to stay alive.
