John Mitchell Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 John ...... i think the receipt is: 1. move to canada 2. Buy a Sony Nex 6 3. Be a good photographer as you I have allready number 2 :) Congratulations on the new family member, Mirco. You've sold two beers now? Thanks for the kind words. Now that I think about it, "surge" was perhaps not the best word to use. I'm not exactly talking about a flood of sales here, but it's encouraging to see more textbook leases in the $180+ range. They looked as if they might have joined the endangered species list for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 We tend to get your American weather over here about a week later, John. Lets hope it works with American sales as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually in Canada (the other America). Hopefully, you won't be getting some of the current weather that is hitting eastern North America at the moment. Vancouver, where I live, is an exception to the rest of the country. We shovel rain instead of snow for most of the winter. Bamboo and other subtropical plants do quite well here as well.

That's why I didn't say US weather - I would never be so insensitive. I bet a few stock photos of shoveling rain would do well (12 results, but none of them really relevant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariaJ Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Very surprised (in a good way) to see I just got a textbook sale. I had my first sale about a week ago and then this one showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I wouldn't exactly call it a surge but I did get a nice textbook sale drop in my sales yesterday and it was of one of my old standbys that seems to sell over and over again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Robinson Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Aha! I've just had a 180 surge into my account. And it was an image that has sold twice before for 180, back in 2009 and 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of cultural confusion from our colonial cousins there. Smashing picture of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I can tolerate a bit of cultural confusion if it sells for a decent price. As long as the user's not offending anyone and by association, implicating me. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Williams Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi all! New here, first post! I think I did have a textbook sale? Country: WorldwideUsage: iQ sale: Educational book, editorial digital use, one time use onlyIndustry sector: Media, design & publishingStart: 27 February 2014End: 27 February 2019 Do I read into that as it can't be used for books on mass and the buyer can only use my image a single time i.e once as in just one book, confused ??

CM photo Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Aha! I've just had a 180 surge into my account.

Fully expecting a refund of the first, but you never know. I suspect you did have a refund, Phil (but hope not). I had this exact sale on Friday, then repeated yesterday, refunded today. As it happens, this was my fourth textbook sale this month (not counting the one that was cancelled out) but they weren't all for $180 more's the pity.

On the plus side, my second biggest sale ever turned up today, followed by another 3-figure sale this afternoon. I've made more in the last two days than I did in February. There is hope yet.
