Prices
Chico:
Of course i don't want put price on the things of others, but since we don't need to pay commissions to agencies, seems logical that we can charge lower prices, even as a way to attract buyers in a first moment.
What do you think?
sharpshot:
I'm not convinced lower prices attract buyers and there's going to be quite a bit of costs with hosting a large portfolio. So I'm not going to be pricing too low. I also think that if people are going to link their sites, they should have prices in a similar range or it might put buyers off.
Chico:
So, maybe a search by price be interesting.

For anyone who has been working in microstock for a few years, plus reading the forums here should have a pretty good idea what their work is worth.
I don't see a need to lower my prices to what my actual payout would be, let's say at Stockfresh for example.
I don't have to charge iStock's prices either but somewhere in between.
After all, charging "realistic" prices guarantees that, by keeping 100% of the funds, the money will be spent wisely on new high quality content that the buyer came for in the first place.

Ultimately it would be great if this takes off and we can all host and licence our own images rather than doing it through agencies who do not care how little they pay us as individuals because they sell so many They are okay.
I will not be quoting prices at less than agencies but at least equal to or hopefully more, with a view to only selling though my own site as I cannot see the point of doing that and all but giving them away elsewhere as well :)
