Yeah, I always felt that the images would have to be pretty rare for the buyers to spend time bidding on it. We live in a very 'now' society and people prefer not to wait for something if they have the choice. I had a sale on Clustershot a while back, where it was set between $100 and $150 ( I can't remember), but it was set at 'accept offers'. The buyer just bought it at full price, without making me an offer.

As for Cutcaster, I think they have the right balance now.

I have an idea!

John, allow bid-ask system only for "sell the rights" option!!!

I would not think so, borg.  Let's keep it simple.  Adding that option would add to confusion if the image were not exclusive at Cutcaster.  I dropped that option at Dreamstime because it would require having all other sites delete any image to which "all rights" were sold ... within in THREE days. 

Could keep that in mind ONLY for images that are exclusive to Cutcaster ... but let's save that for later, once this thing gets rolling (hopefully).   ;D
