Title: Alamy RF prices
Post by: Mr Korn Flakes on February 02, 2012, 04:54

Hi everyone,
I'm starting to sell something on Alamy and I'm surprised for the prices. On Alamy I sell only RF photos that I sell also on other RF agencies, but Alamy sells them at incredibly high price! Can anyone explain me how is it possible?
I've tried to read Alamy guidelines but I can't find info about this difference from other RF sites. Why a customer is paying 70$ for a RF picture that can pay a lot less on Shutterstock?
By the way, I'm glad that this happens  ;D

Alamy is the traditional stock agency and their RF licenses are different from these new RF agencies ...
Probably the closest explanation is that Alamy only sells EL licenses ...
Prices in this case are even cheaper on Alamy, if you compare the license terms and possibility of using...

A license is worth whatever the customer is willing to pay. That's all there is to it. Micros charge bargain basement rates, Alamy doesn't ... well, most of the time it doesn't.
