These things happen frequently - Alamy tells us its due to their transparent sales policy and speedy reporting of sales so we see sales happening in real time - presumably reflects whats happening on the ground regarding selling images

 

At least it was resold, and not at a lower price!

I'm intrugued by this amazing coincidence:

Country: Worldwide
Usage: Editorial

So ~ someone reported this usage on 1st May on 29th of June.

On 5th July that sale was refunded (despite apparently having been used 1/2 May) and co-incidentally on the very same day someone else bought exactly the same file, out of  1,537 photos of that subject, for a different use and for five extra years, for eight extra cents. It beggars belief!
