JamesH 33 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I checked my phone this morning bleary eyed to see a near $100 sale fall in, had to double check on the computer with a cup of coffee. National non UK newspaper for 1 day which I will be keeping an eye out for. I only uploaded the image a few weeks ago but it's probably the only one I can find on Alamy of it. I will say this, processing photos certainly leads you round the Internet researching places/buildings/animals/birds but it's worth it for the tags and captions. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I always seem to have a few wikipedia tabs open but I find it interesting researching and it usually leads to something else, either by related links or the 10w light bulb in my head turns on to photograph something I hadn't thought of.

Avpics 1,716 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Two book sales came in yesterday for $62.57 each of details of Victoria Railway station. It's often stated that zooms aren't a good indication of sales, but these were zoomed some time ago which I find is quite common for book sales. I don't think I've had any book sales that weren't zoomed so if you're getting zooms then that's my offering for thinking positive 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Gina Kelly 208 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Sultanpepa, that's awesome news! I had a $1,600 sale in January and the first thing I did was send an email to Alamy making sure it was real Then I held my breath for weeks until it cleared, certain every day that I would see a refund come through (it cleared, yay!) So glad to hear about these large sales and to know that others are getting them occasionally as well. Congratulations! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ranging from a genuine looking PU to $32. Nothing to retire on, but it all helps Link to post Share on other sites
