You say that content package, shot by a professional, is worth $12k-$17k (with a bulk rate discount) but if ALL that content is self shot it's only worth $2.5k? Does it really sell that much worse to be worth only 25%?

Honestly, it really depends on the client. Most people in this business understand overhead and profit margins for producers. When it comes to self shot content, all of that goes out the window and the clients usually know this. If the overhead is lower then they may expect the cost to be lower as well.
Although I am a producer, I also hire models to do self shot stuff though not as large of a package as you are referring to. That being said, at the current rate that I pay models to do self shot stuff, the total for a package like the one you mention would be around $2,500.00. Again, not accounting for price fluctuation based on bulk.
Yes, you will find people that will pay considerably more than that but I can't imagine they would offer anywhere near the suggested $15k.
"Does it really sell that much worse to be worth only 25%"
Well...Yes, it does. But it does seem to be growing in popularity so supply and demand could significantly impact that. This is EXACTLY why I have been stock piling this sort of content over the last year or so. I highly doubt my cost on it will go down but it could certainly go up.
The other thing to consider is the time to produce it. Time costs money. It takes A LOT less time for you to shoot a package like that then it would take a producer. You could bang something like that out in half the time if you wanted to. IMHO, $2.5k for 3 days of self shot solo content is not a bad paycheck. I know cam girls who spend a lot more time than that online each week to pull in less.
