This is a copy of an earlier post that would be helpful to a lot of contributers. Is there a way to add the content in full or part so old and new sellers can see it? Thanks, Greg

I work full time as a video editor for a small production company and just recently started selling stock myself. Coming from the buying side pricing doesn't matter too much, except when things priced way too high, but that is rare. When we need a shot, it doesn't matter if it's $40 or $400. If we need it, we buy it. And what we buy is so random. It's all based on what the project calls for. Maybe one week we need a shot of seagulls flying overhead. Or another week we need a cool motion graphic background. If we can find it we buy it, because it's usually cheaper/easier/faster and more convenient to spend a little cash for a clip rather than acquire it ourselves.
