I never said you said it, I said it tells me, slight but major difference. A solo girl set+video will make easily $500 non exclusive and probably averages $700. seems to me if you don't have the ability to double your return for the investment of $700 you are a bit tight for cash.

The idea of this thread was to start a debate, which it did , on why do some sell sets at around $150 and sets+videos at $300 when "non-exclusive content is saturated.

The two things simply do not tally and make sense. To me the explanations are as follows.

(A) Unable to get a credit card processing account. Does not sound so good.
(B) Unable to do the marketing that is required, but able to market Custom shooting?
(C) Have extra capacity on the shooting side that non exclusive will not take up. Very plausable.
(D) Their content does not sell non-exclusive. This I know for a fact after buying some and trying to resell it.
(E) Non exclusive is not as saturated as some would have us believe. Probably the real reason as I know how many times a good set or video sells and this is not enought to saturate a set.

I'm willing to listen to anyone who has a better explanation.
