Most sites I'm in have an option to buy credits(although some are not ideal there either as some only offer 10 credits at once or more) which is neat because then you can just get the one or two scenes you're only interested in. As it stands most sites don't have this, their only options will make you pay more for more scenes that you don't want in the first place. Why is this, do they think they will lose out on business if members only come in to buy one scene? I'd argue that it would only be a good thing because you're not missing out on any potential buyers.

I know there are some producers/website owners who browse this forum, I was hoping they'd add their thoughts too.

Personally, I've never had any interest in purchasing individual scenes, especially when I can get access to all of the content from a particular site/studio for like $10 (with a month-long membership). As for credits, "tokens", or "tickets" instead of a full membership, I've always viewed such arrangements as a rip-off; you're paying more for less, essentially.

I like this idea as well. There's a bunch of sites I only want a few scenes and I don't want to pay a full subscription.

For a smaller company it's very expensive to offer this. The setup costs and the huge cut you have to pay a third party payment processor either mean you don't make any money, or you have to raise the price to something ridiculous.

^That's true. I can see that also. After all a one month subscription isn't that expensive compared to most dvds for the amount of content.

Am I the only one left craving DVDs these days? Am I some kinda dinosaur? Some creepy, dying specie, maybe some spider? Pretty much left with vibes like that by getting over in threads around here.

^not just you. I still buy dvds but it's clearly becoming ancient.

I would be willing to pay "extra" for one or two scenes as long as they're not Clips4sale-tier prices. The websites I check out are more 20 to 25 bucks a month or more, not 10. How about this: 30 bucks a month you get to check 100 scenes. For 5 bucks you get 2 scenes of your choosing. I can't see how they would be the one missing out on money and not me totally overpaying.
