high priced collections

Hi everybody, I see a lot of photographs are being added to Pond5 collection with really high prices. Also some footage from the same sources,
The photo are extremely high quality (most of them), but prices remember me more of a RM than a RF policy.
So, how is it possible to sell picture RF stock at 499 $?
When I set a price for a photo of mine at 9 $ for the maximum size and I see those ones at 499 $ I ask myself if I'm wrong or if there is something I don't understand.
Anybody has ideas about it?

With a collection of 121,000 photos, the guy probably knows best how to price his merchandise. He can always remove a photo from the collection if someone needs to buy RM.
I wish I had the guts to price my own pics/video like this.

My daughter dared price clips high. Just sold one for $1,500.00 for a commission of $750.00. So if she was one of the $10 sellers she would have had to sell the clip 150 times to equal one sale. Not likely. Quality is indeed also based on prices. This is one of the clips that she sold last year for about $2000.00. So not too bad, $3,500.00 for this clip in less than a year. Well done and a great example of quality and value.
