I'm trying to obtain the worlds record for the lowest price paid for a stock image. ( subs DON'T count)
Last week on IS I was off to a good start.....19 cents for an image! Oh boy
Then the day after that I reeled in three .18 cents inages! WOW!
Today I am amazed that I landed a .17 cents image! YAY!
I can't wait to see what tomorrow and next week brings.
Rumor has it there are a few .15 cent images swimming around too. That's my goal.
I won't sleep until I catch that elusive .15 cent image.

I've got you beat. I have had several .16 XS sales recently.
And about a month back I had a .10 sale bought with a VERY old credit....
-
MIZ and LISAFX, i guess that makes me the highest paid of the three
28 cents. actually it was my first (new to IS) sale .
well, i just need another few 000.00 digits and hey, that second hand porsche is almost mine to drive away from the showroom ;D

If you can show me a screen shot of the 10 cent image on your IS payment screen, it would help a great deal
in relieving my doubts about what I perceive as a myth. If it is true however, that's got to be the World's Record!

I win. I get several $.08 payments a month from Getty.

were they perhaps for referrals, not you own images???

I received in Dec 06 the grand sum of $0.01 on an RM image. Why accounting would put through such a sale I have no idea. This from an image that at one time earned me royalties into the 5 figure mark.
I guess the only place beyond here is the free image; unless of course some desperate soul decides he'd like to pay someone to use their shot.

Sorry to disappoint Miz, but I don't have time or inclination to go back over the last couple of month's sales one by one.
Feel free to take my word for it or not. Your choice :)

If your are not so inclined to provide proof then I am inclined to think your are fibbing.
Until such time proof of download price is verifiable, your claim is and has been rejected!
I am sorry and wish you luck in the future.

If I were to buy one of your photos r**j**miz then you'd get .10 because my credits are bought with IS earnings.

If I were to buy one of your photos rimjobmiz (snip)
I had to read this a couple of times before it sank in. Hmmm, rimjob falls into that slightly gray area between backhanded compliment and insult.

Lowest I've gone is 24c by the looks of it, but how did you get that level of Detail miz? I had a look at the stats page and I can't see where to get the per sale breakdown.

OK, with my new found knowledge of the IS website I've had a $0.21 as my lowest recent sale...
A bit disappointing, but then I've also just noticed none of my recently uploaded stuff is selling either, so I've got some work to do on that count... :-\

Comon, *! Your far from being original or creative yingyang0.
Please in the future, come up with your own material and stop copying mine.
Now I'm debating whether I should take legal action I just have to confer with a lawyer and find
out if my words; "Opps...a slip of the fingers on the keyboard." can be considered copyrighted.

Miz, next time I notice a .10 I will be sure to post it so I can restore your faith in my veracity ;)

.16 cents seems like old news.
How about coming up with a .15 cent wonder...or else we can't get excited.
