One of buyer in my site wants to buy 300 image in small size. At the beginning he wants %50 discount which makes $1 RPD per image. After making some bargains he offer $400 and i told him 450. now deal stuck for 50$:(
if i accept 400 RPD per images makes 1.33$ which is more than most of agency i make for a small image except Alamy.

While i am dealing with him knowing that there is option that he can buy all my portfolio in XXL around 250$ with subscription makes me crazy

What do you think, must i accept his offer?

What type of license are you proposing to him? This is the key question.

I ask this because if you giving him a traditional RF image license, that implies that in the micro business he would have to buy an EL for each image. For example in SS he would have to pay thousands of dollars, earning you more than $8000.

If you're willing to grant a traditional RF license to him, this could be a very good selling argument. Just show the advantages of it and how much 300 images would cost, even in micro. In fact, by those standards $450 is a giveaway...

If he goes micro and then use the images outside the license contact the agency to charge the excess. I've been paid by SS when they detect uses outside the license and the buyers get the lawyer call...

You'd better take the money before he reads this thread.

I am afraid that buyer will find this forum

There are sites that they sell same size for 1$ which make 300 images for 300$.

That is his negotiating card, then.

No it can not be his negotiation card.
He can not buy my images in this size cheaper than 2$ except Subs.

Why are you bringing Alamy into the conversation?

I'm guessing by your use of the word 'hate' in the title you're not happy that your images are available on subscription sites - easy answer then isn't it, take them off, nobody is forcing you to sell them for subscription.

i am already confused and Alamy sales double this.

Know that nobody is forcing me but after 5th month as an independent i realize that i need subscription sites to live as independent.
My 2nd(shutter) and 3rd best(123rf) seller haven't got an opt-out option for subs sales.
if they have opt-out option which not effect best match you can be sure that i will Opt-out.

Does the guy know how much of a pain it would be to get a subscription and then try to remember to log in every day to get the daily quota and how long it would take? unless he has a lot more time than money, paying a few extra hundred $ to you would be well worth it.

Accept $400 before it's too late.

Agree.

I don't even offer the smaller sizes on my site. It just seems too tedious to make a dollar at a time with the volume of traffic my site receives.

That's just my opinion though.

i was thinking like you at the beginning for xsmall and small size. i put them there only for providing more options to buyer.

XPTO, i didn't know that there is different RF licenses. thank you for explanation.

While i was thinking to accept his offer i got a mail that he is asking how he can get discount coupon so i hope that he is going to accept my deal.
