Title: $50 Single
Post by: PigsInSpace on December 12, 2016, 20:53

I recently got a $50 'Single and Other' sale. I've never had one for anything close to that before. Why would someone end up paying such a big amount that I would get that much? I'm not complaining! I'm just curious.

$50 is not much at all.
More is possible.
On some other sites, even much more.
But the general trend is going down.

How's that possible when SS states that maximum you can get is 120?

Large enterprises pay hundreds of dollars to license images. They get additional indemnity and help with image searches.

I've gotten all sorts of random amounts, typically much, much lower. I had one for just a quarter last month.

I assumed the kind of major uses suggested by the price would need an extended license? No?
