famousbelgian 104 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Two sales of $225 each today from North America. They don't come along every month but they do make up for the sub-$10 sales you get every now and then ! Thank you Alamy. Marc 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lynn Palmer 144 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Up until 9 days ago I couldn't complain about the value of my sales.There were one or two low ones but my average sale based on three years of sales is $100. I’ve had two sales in 9 days which normally would make me very happy but the first was for $1.41 gross to India and the second one today is an RM distributor sale for $4.15 that nets me just $1.24. That means I'm netting $1.94 for two sales. I don't mind taking one for the team once in a while but there are no good sales to offset these. Is this the new normal?

Arletta 367 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The "bulk discount" must be something new? I just got one too, not very positive amount... Link to post Share on other sites
wiskerke 3,387 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I'm seeing the first bulk deal in December 2012 in my sales history or Summary of items sold. Slightly different description: bulk deal. The words bulk discount first appear October 2015 in my Summary. So they have been reported for at least that long. They have been around for ever though. Just not reported. wim Link to post Share on other sites

DDoug 2,939 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I got a sale of $135 this month for the front cover of a travel guidebook, coming through a distributor with the notation "Quantity discount." After a dry spell, I'd have been happy with any sale at all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TeeCee 1,514 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Success in this instance is, I'm afraid, not due to your fabulous photography, or indeed your photoshop skills Geoff. It's simply down to the fact you've managed to capture a Southern Railways train actually moving along the rails, as opposed to sitting in a depot waiting for the strike to end. Reckon this one will sell and sell again! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Avpics 1,602 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 WH Smiths have produced a Spitfire aircraft calendar for 2017 including four of my images. One of them is repeated for the cover, but they've compressed the starboard wing to allow for the title such that I don't think it would fly too well! Link to post Share on other sites
