my first sale today!

after 2 years and about 2100 pictures, not good!

but still surprising: I didn't believe it possible anymore to receive a "Mostphotos Notification - You have just sold an image" email

Isn't it a sign when people bother about saying "I've got a sale"? 

I already got my sale this year

OTOH I will continue to upload there - free remote backup is not easy to get!

I know, thread from the dead, back in June, but it fit, so why re-invent the whole thing?

I've been uploading some rejects from other sites. Not because of quality but content issues. I have the new shots as old as 1897 right now. Out of any copyright in the world, including anything that would require a model release.

Now that someone mentioned backup I saw that on my account and wondered what the deal was. I haven't used it. So if someone who is using it could explain. Does it download the images or everything, including tags that were added later?

Something about people celebrating one sale in a year, is scary for me. Sure I'd like to sell some of these leftovers and I think someone might be able to use them, but if the word Buyers is a scarce item, I guess I should just consider the backup as a feature and have some fun uploading my shots that other agencies won't host? One sale large would beat some other places?

I vote for this thread to be buried forever

No, this thread deserves to live! I have sales there! Regularly!
Unfortunately 2010 sale already happened, I am now waiting for 2011 one!

I didn't know about the free backup until I read the new post.  Checked into it, downloaded all of my files, and everything is intact the way it should be.  Fantastic!!!  So for me, having access to a free backup service more than makes up for the lack of sales.

I'm glad someone resurrected this thread - I had forgotten about this site and so went to check - I had a sale of a high res image for 12.50 Euros. A Christmas present!

It was some in 2009, only one in 2010. Hardly any in total. 

Hmm... I had one sale in 2008. Suddenly I have three sales already this year (2011). Are things starting to pick up at Mostphotos or am I just lucky?

No sale since oct or nov 2009 when I created account at MP
Waste of time

Looks like their buyer has returned   Sold a few recently, one PPD, a few subs and one of my referrals has sold something.  I still really like the site, there's a lot of junk but also a lot of great photos that aren't on the micros.

Also got my first sale there after a year and a few months of selling nothing. They need to clean their image database, there are a lot of cr*ppy snapshots.
