you probably could.  It might take a contract and some private emails with the sites.. to get all the images transfered over to the purchasers account.  Or else you could just sell the images privatly and the new photog. could upload all the images themselves, although getting the images allready on the sites would be worth quite a bit.

or else the purchaser could just take over your account for a fee.

If the price is right, i would be interested.

The sites might not like it as most require the owner to be the photographer.

If you had it as a company, then that company could be transfered.

I think someone tried to sell their LO account once.

I would do it the second way, take down all the photos on all the site and then have the other person open up an account and re-upload them. Otherwise you'll run into problems with the sites. As long as you have an attorney write a contract to sell the rights to the photos you should be fine. Just don't expect the sites to help you transfer accounts they have with you.

I think that is your only option, and even then, some of them might reject the photos if they knew what had happened. I have a feeling that the micro-stock dislike strongly anything that is non-standard, and if there's only the slightest chance that there will be legal problems in the future, you're out.

If you have to re-upload all the images, as I see micros working, there a big chance that you end up with quite a few of those rejected.
For some reason I guess is not likely that one already approved image have the same luck in a second submission, but who knows?
