I understand your logic and I defer to your greater experience with the photo marketplace. But I expect that the more satisfying and profitable approach in the long run will be to value time rather than product. If Frank is a good enough photographer (he is), good enough salesman (?), patient enough (?) and has a day job (he does), then he might be able to follow an approach which does calculate benefit "in the long run."
