Why not charge double and set the standard for premium models?
Another thing that killed most content providers is not having a set price. You email a content provider and they'll reply with here's 15% discount. You reply that you are taking 10 sets ohhhhhhh 40% discount. WTF? That right there is one of the big problems. If i find out I've overpaid on content I'm pissed and feel like I got screwed and with all these discounts being thrown around it's hard to think you are getting a good deal.
Best example I paid 9k for the fresh photos line. I felt good about it. I felt the content was worth 9k. Easily. Then two weeks later it was for sale for $2k. Thankfully they refunded us. Same with Sexier Content. Paid $4k because I believe it was worth $4k. Then 3 weeks later they blow it out for $1k (and we only got back a third of the difference from them).
I think webmasters would be comfortable paying fair market value for content if the content provider selling it was strict and maintained the same price for all clients. The way Tim from UCJ does with his script. You can buy 100 copies from him, the price is the same.

i know. i don't understand it either. but people panic when they sense they're going to lose a sale to the competition so they just hand out discounts.
about charging more for certain models - in reality there's really not a difference in what one glamour model makes compared to another, give or take $100. Only somebody like Jenna Jameson would command more than the other girls. Standard pay rate for a glamour model is about $500 a day, some get 6 or 7 it they think they are 'stars'. So it shouldn't really affect the price of a set much.
