Pricing photos on P5

Hello:
How do you price photos on P5?  Photos available from other stock agencies and photos exclusive to P5? Almost all of my pics are high rez-6000x4000.

I just started uploading a few images there as well. Standard is $5 but I set them to $10 with auto pricing lower sizes so that makes: 10 / 8.5 / 7 / 5.5
I think we cannot go below the 5 dollar threshold which is a good thing.

Will we make sales? who knows but at least if we do make sales we get to keep 50% which is the best in the industry as far as I'm concerned.
There's people selling their 4k clips there for 25 bucks so they too are driving this business to the ground. Why on earth would you sell at a lower price then SS or AS anyway???

As far as contributor friendly goes to me this place is miles above the rest.
We get to set up a proper profile with even a contact button (which we know other agencies dislike)
I'm uploading at very good speeds. There's extended editing on your work with a convenient layout. And of course you set your own prices.
And last but not least their contributor support is one of a kind (my experience so far)

Truth be told I haven't made a single sale there but to me it's the best Microstock agency out there. I wouldn't even call them Microstock since they are so different from the rest.
But like we had GLstock in the past when we see no immediate result we tend to support the greedy competition and eventually get back to our current situation.
We'll see what Adobe does but it has been way too quiet and I'm not so sure they are a good replacement for SS. I think P5 could (should) be the way forward since we have more control over our work. If plenty of us would move towards Pond5 then I think P5 could be a lot more successful in selling images then they are now, which is practical zero right?

Besides P5 I am also with AS, AL and 10c but that's it. I started with more then a dozen, lost a few hundred dollars by quitting them, no regrets though and would do it again!

I suggest $15 for photos. My strategy is that if something sells i keep increasing the price of that file little by little

klod:
A full resolution file for $10 or 15 is way below prices available from Alamy, SS and many others.  I will not set lower prices.  I want to set fair prices for buyers and fair commissions for me.  Search P5 as buyer and see the great variety of prices.  Many way too low or too high.  IMHO...

Well I'm open to suggestions. What is the price for a single full resolution image at AS and SS?
