Craig Yates 1,925 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 it's unusual to get 4 the same subject, same price. Multiple sales are normally bulk discount deals in my experience. Craig. Link to post Share on other sites
KODAKovic 73 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Aaarghhhh!! Just sold the classic looking-at-camera-micro-style picture!!! FF87RB for $52 I've just finished to tell others not to shoot these kind of pics as they don't sell here! Edited August 8, 2017 by KODAKovic Link to post Share on other sites
Barking 37 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It's been a long time coming, but finally got a sale of $63 for a picture of a JCB 😁😁😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JamesH 33 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 2nd sale a few days ago, a dubious PU and judging from people here those may get refunded. Of all the places I've been and photographed in the world this one must have been the dullest photo I've uploaded, not even nice light! Still, had a fantastic few days taking photos on the Kenyan coast which I was more mindful to shoot for stock, hopefully they sell. Link to post Share on other sites

Not the highest I've had for a book, but I'm still very happy with that. It's one I wrote to Alamy about a few days ago as I found it online, and I was waiting to hear back about it. So I'm guessing that's why it came through today, because they chased it up. So thanks Alamy if that's the case. Geoff. Do we really need to chase these things up? If Alamy are taking 50% of everything shouldnt they be earning their money? Kevin 3 Link to post Share on other sites
spacecadet 4,380 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yes, it's interesting how many report a few days after a nudge. Perhaps they dropped it down the back of the sofa. Link to post Share on other sites
Cecile Marion 233 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Congratulations! That's very nice. Do you know how long ago the photo was picked up by the book publishers? I'd be interested to know how you tracked down the sale, if you wouldn't mind saying. Link to post Share on other sites

Hellonearth 86 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 My point exactly!. Isnt that why they "earn" 50 % Kevin 1 Link to post Share on other sites

John Richmond 1,217 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Two distributor sales this morning have taken my gross earnings this year to just over my gross for last year. Haven't exceeded the sales total yet - 84 so far in 2017 vs 97 for 2016 - but with nearly 5 months left it's definitely on course to be my most successful year since I joined Alamy in January 2014. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
