Tell you this much its not something like stocksy or offset etc I look upon them as more of generalist agencies. A boutique in my meaning is an agency with  perhaps just a few categories.but with images  thast you wont find in general agencies.

CONGRATS! Christmas bonus! I would love to know the agency too ...

"This mormning though I had a fantastic surprise my other agency had sold two of the pictures with world-rights etc and for the hefty price of. $.6000!! ( my percentage) I nearly fainted I thought sales like that was a thing of the past."

60 cents caused you to faint?

last time i gave a panhandler 60 cts, he threw it back in my face, "*, what's that???"
i wanted to let him know i am a microstock photographer,
but i was afraid too, he might bark back at me to go panhandle instead of walking about in my
expensive camera

here's the new world pecking order... (top earners to bottom dwellers)...

tossing burger (cost investment - bus far, work clothes, work shoes.)
squeegee kid (zero cost investment)
panhandler   (zero cost investment)
microstock photographer (nikon or canon equipment)

Youre in the wrong game you should be a scriptwriter or a filmwriter! you would earn a fortune!  seriously!

You lost me.  Was it 60 cents like you posted or are you saying it was six thousand dollars?  And why would you put the same images on an RM agency that you have on SS?

Because he "really didn't care".

I gave you a like for that. True! if the agencies dont care then why should I?

Contractual obligations and professional reputation come to mind.  Congrats on the sales though.

Why are you under the impression they don't care?

In my OP I say similar pictures NOT identical. There is a notable difference.

So, someone pays big bucks for exclusive rights to an image, but you're ok licensing a similar image shot five seconds later multiple times on SS?  You don't think the guy who paid all that cash might be a wee bit upset?

I would say when the buyer gets your so-called 'RM' and finds out that it is an 'RF' they will have a SCARY EXPERIENCE...

You also said "I know they dont like the fact that similar pictures are with micro-agencies "

They dont like but can do very little about it. Similars are not sister images. Look at Alamy!  they accept just about anything and everything and makes not secret about it either.
Getty used picture-scout for sister images but not similars unless people images with exactly the same product or message.

Look this can be debated for 1000 years.

The point I was making was that when we upload to in this case SS who hardly ever promotes new files the odds are theres many top sellers just vanishing among their 100 million files and pictures that could elsewhere earn quite a bit of money.

You are skating on seriously thin ice sending work from the same shoot to RM boutique and Micro RF.
