5 people buy one of your photos and you buy 1 photo from each of the 5 people, so everybody wins. ???

     Ron  -  this  isn't  about  anyone  winning  or  losing.  I  just  wanted  to  show  my  appreciation  for  all  the  help  recived  here.

Showing your appreciation how?

You offer to purchase an image from someone if they buy one off you. You said 1 dollar max. Picfair asks 10% from the buyer and 33 cent processing fee.

So you have to spend 5x5 + 10% + 5x0.33 = 7.15 and you are supposed to get 5 dollar back, so you are 2.15 out of pocket. And the other 5 persons have to pay 1.43 to get one of your photos, and get 1 dollar back from you so they are 0.43 out of pocket.

Everybody loses money, and picfair made 1 dollar.

Good thinking, spending your pocket money on images is much healthier than buying candies or cigarettes. Or even worse on soda and fries.
You should run this deal every month.

Don't listen to him Dan. Stick to your guns and keep it as a 1 time offer, please!

If you think that this offer makes sense, you'd better play "like for like" games on Instagram. It's cheaper and it's all time offer.

Something like this would definitely work as a pyramid chain letter.

Pass that on to 12 friends or it's the beady eye :)

That's OK. I'm sure, next time you'll come up even with a better offer.
