A Sale....Just :-) + Published Image

Cheers once again folks :)

"Dark Star Pictures - όπως φαίνεται σε ένα τηλεοπτικό περιοδικό"

Gary - I dread to ask what that means :D

I hope you asked them to send you a copy of each magazine when it is published :nono:

Yep I did just that :)

Thanks Jo :D
 
SCORE!
I think you got a good deal for an image of a chicken egg timer :)

Mike
 
Congratulations, love the image too!
 
Just proves how much these companies are trying it on - the less business aware will pay dearly by accepting flattery as a payment

I was torn at one stage - to see my image in magazines would have been great in itself - but I thought it must therefore be worth something :D

Since the deal was struck the company has been good to deal with as well.

Now I await payment :) It ain't over yet :D

You should always ask for cleared funds before releasing the image. Gonna be a mare chasing a Greek company if the decide not to pay you!

You're right there Guy - I guess I'll learn - I'm new to these things :bang:

Well so far they have been pretty up front so hopefully they'll see it through properly! :thumbs:
 
Congratulations, it's always exciting selling your first one!
 
Thanks Alison and thanks Alex

Yes they are Alex - they confirmed today that I'll get copies of all 4 publications in late April :)

Still riding a high with this one :)
 
Ruth, Gary many thanks :) Next excitement will be when the money arrives and then when the magazines turn up - I'm still cynical enough to think both might not happen :) :D

Hold that thought - the money hasn't been transferred yet :D!!!

And I tried to sell them the whisk as well :D

They didn't bite :shake::D
 
Just back from hols and knackered but I thought I'd complete the tale of this thread by letting you know that while I was away the money came through from the Greek agency :)

180 euros = £164.99 :woot:

If I get a copy of the mag I'll post the advert :D
 
Superb :clap:
 
Good stuff John
 
Great stuff! And I like the way they went from "We get all our images from Flickr for free", to " not over 100 euros?" to "180 euros" when they realised they weren't going to get anything for less than it's worth!

Chris
 
Thanks chaps - I'm just glad my faith in them paying was justified :D

I wish they'd buy the whisk :D

If im ever in a position where some poor soul wants to use an image of mine (unlikely!),then i shall certainly remember this-Good to see a nice outcome for both parties!
They get stock image a lot cheaper than they would from agencys,and you get your pockets lined a little....Perfect :)
