We really couldn't change. On one hand we had sets selling for $3,000 to $4,000 (magazine and other sales) on the other we had people asking us to shoot content that was worth $400 (Internet Custom). Absolute no brainer.

I'm being accused of shooting a style often worth ten times what the Internet was worth. And I'm to blame.

That really shows how insular this side of the porn industry is.

Even Content store sales out paid what Custom sales would pay. Think of it. 10 sales at $35 = $350. You don't have to do a lot to sell a set 10 times in 10 years. Then there the video. 10 times in 10 years for video and set a $60 = $600. I could never really work out why so many switched from having Content Stores to Custom only.

And today as the Mighty Troll points out we are still able to sell these in special offers.

How many times do you think we sold these girls. On the Internet and via magazines?

I didn't shoot the wrong style. I shot at the wrong price. For many who wouldn't or couldn't pay enough. Pay me $3,000 for a single set and I'll shoot the style you want.
