Hi

I'm a small guy, buying for an agency dedicated to the newspaper market. So we like lifestyle and anything you would see in a community newspaper under editorial or advertorial content. Email me and I can send you more details.

I do this part time as a hobby and rather enjoy it. I really enjoy making my clients a few dollars for images that have had for years.

Cheers

Peter

I understand the stock sites on the right, but I want to buy images Royalty Free for an agency for a set price per image. I don't buy images on a per download basis. My image suppliers are people that submit to the agencies on the right and I buy their "seconds" for lack of a better term

The sites already sell our photos pretty cheap, and pay us even less, may I ask what is it that you're offering for our "seconds" shots? obviously you're looking to buy full rights to these photos right?...I'm really curious, and I'm sure that many other people on this forum are as well.

So how much are you prepared to pay for these 'seconds' as you describe them and are you intending to 're-sell' them as such? Are you effectively offering to buy the copyright of the images?

Hi Fotoart,

I have a few 'seconds' you can buy the rights to for $10000 each. Any of my 'firsts' you will have to pay some serious money for. Let me now how many you want.
Cheers,

 Hi Fotoart,

 $70 dollars an image for buy out seems like a good offer for any Micro shooters, and a buy out does mean you sign over the copyright. It's done all the time in Macro stock. I have done by outs before but I don't have any seconds. Sounds like a reasonable offer to me for many here. If you want to resell them or line your living room walls with them I don't really think it matters one way or the other. How many of you have an overall RPI higher than $70 per image in Micro, that is an average of $70 per image over it's life. There are a few but not many from what I read here.

Good Luck,
Jonathan

The OP has never mentioned "buying out the rights" to anything.  In fact, all he mentioned was "royalty free" up above.  So until he clearly states what he is trying to license or accomplish, not much else can go on here.

And no, Jonathan, I don't think $70 is a good buyout price for "family, fun, lifestyle" shots, like the OP mentioned.

Do you really want the stuff we don´t upload ?     A trashcan full of 70$ images is waiting  for you... You could even get em for 65$ if you push it...

$70 per image for a guaranteed 150 or 200 shots bought from a  one day shoot is a fairly good deal. Used to be able to get 2 to 3 times that much not long ago but I don't know what the going rate is now. I don't like selling dribs and drabs. Waste of time most of the time.

I agree with cidepix, this is very difficult to understand.

No, I sell the images as yours, and it's $70.00 Canadian Dollars. Basically I'm trying to find images to make you guys some money. I don't want to sound rude but I really could care less if some of you think this is a bad deal. I hate to say it but with the simplicity of digital camera now, every one is a stock photographer.
