Woolworth are still in the UK and still working. However I do agree with you on you need bulk. The less the price the more you need to sell it to make the same turn over.
However the problem is the surfer. They're not cooperating and if they are for you then good for you. I see more and more of them moving to cheaper sites or even Tube and Torrent sites. You MUST have the surfers willing to pay $30 to charge $30, you can keep increasing traffic but eventually unless you're selling something others do not have price will enter into it.
And just because she's exclusive on your site does not mean she's not on 100 other sites and girls like her on 1,000 other sites. To be exclusive takes a bit more then that.
How long will the surfer continue to pay $30 is the big question. Every surfer that hits a $5 site is another one wondering why the last site is charging $30. For all he needs.
Traffic is a commodity and I don't build tools for affiliates because I don't appreciate them. I'm actually posting to say this could all end. There may come a day when $5 is all you can charge, because that's all the consumer will pay.
And please look at everything around you and see where it was made. You did not buy because it was built in the country you live in, you bought it because it was the best deal you could get. A product is only worth what the consumer will pay.

I hear what you're saying about saturated content, a scene getting saturated is a myth, or a very old scene. A model getting saturated is a problem, but will sponsors pay the money to keep her exclusive? Not normal. A scenario may become saturated, but I've mad a small fortune off shooting "blondes on sofas". If you want me to shoot her on a roof top, under water, on a palm beach, will you pay the extra? Not normal.
I used to fly to Lanzarote, Spain or Portugal 4-5 times a year. With 2 other shooters and 5-6 girls. Can do it again anytime anyone wants to pay for it. I will switch on ICQ waiting for the rush. LOL
The reason the scenario is saturated is sponsors want to pay $300 to $500 a solo girl scene. And if she's a pretty blonde on a sofa they prefer that to spending enough so we can shoot her on a beach or by a villa.
This is the view I see. A scene selling at $3 will sell 200 times, a scene selling at $30 will sell 15 times. (Don't question the price, it's an EXAMPLE). So if sponsors and webmasters really cared about saturated content they would be buying a lot more $30 sets. They would but they don't.
Which brings me back to where I started, you buy on price. So will the surfer.
