pricing bug

I found a bug in the system that has to do with setting pricing.
I am setting pricing for clips, and when I go back to review them, the pricing is completely different from what I set. I am seeing this on many clips, not just one or two. I have checked about 30 clips and so far half of them are wrong.
all of these clips were repriced today. they all were originally $10.
I will use this clip as an example:
https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/12880855?pf_fullscreen=1
there is no way i set all the clips to be $20.
here is another example:
https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/12846237?pf_fullscreen=1
there is no way I set the pricing at $80 for the HD 1080 and HD 720.
for some clips, I am seeing NTSC pricing higher than HD, and HD very low. every clip is showing me different and strange results.
I am trying to determine how to demonstrate the bug, I will post if I figure out how to do it.
I am doing the pricing using the search results in my account, using the select box at the bottom, not by editing each clip individually.

so here is what is happening.
I do a search for some clips. I am selecting exactly one clip. I change the price using the select box at the bottom. a popup window opens up. the popup windows says it successfully changed to price for the clip. it shows the correct price I changed it to. it shows the correct clip ID that I selected (only chose 1 clip id).
I then reloaded the search results. instead of seeing the 1 clip id change in price, I saw 2 clip id's change in price, which are associated together, and they both took on the same price as I had selected for the 1 clip.
they were both $25, and i changed one to $50, and they now both show $50.
I am willing to make a video to show what is happening.
the clip id's I tested are 12722052 and 12729394

so I selected one of the clips, and set it to $12. here is what it said when I selected and submitted the price change for 1 clip. but as you can see below, both of the clips changed their price to $12, not just one.
Info: Clip 12729394 to price 12
Info: ok
Info: Please note: there is a half a minute delay or so to all price changes
video clip 12722052 12722052 Trucks Trucks driving down a road or highway asphalt, big, business, busy, car, cargo, commercial, container, delivering, delivery, diesel, drive business / commerce, industry, transportation $12

on this clip something similar happened:
https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/12720583/sunset.html
I changed the PAL and NTSC clips to $8, but the 640x480 clip also changed to $8, even though I had not selected it.

I did another experiment. I went to clip 11374345. I clicked the 'edit' button on the right, so it should only edit that clip. I scrolled down to the box with the price, and changed it to $46. I was then sent back to the search results page.
however, the price changed on 2 clips. it changed on the original that I edited on its own page, and it changed the price for clip id 11374175 to $46.

@dtiberio, congratulations for taking the time to establish a new pricing policy. I am sure with some trial and error you can find the right way to increasing you profits.
