I posted this a few days ago in the G/N forum but, as has been pointed out several times, this idea could also apply to other forums as well. I did a poll in G/N and it looks like there is some interest in both purchasing and selling images. Some of us have updated our taglines to indicate that we are interested.
Hi All,
I don't know about you but I collect photography. Some prints are from famous photographers and others will never be known. Many are nudes. Some are not. A couple have come from up here.
This morning, I was struck with an idea and I wanted to see if anyone else is interested. I was thinking that those posting here could (strictly on a voluntary basis of course) offer to sell prints of the images we post for a nominal fee. Something like $20 (US) for an 8x10" and maybe $30 for an 11x14" print (sorry for those using A4 and A3, you will have to translate). Just enough to cover lab printing or home printing plus reasonable cost for time and trouble.
I think it would be a cool way for some of us to collect some interesting work and not have to spend a lot of money. It would also be fun for those posting to know that someone really wants to buy an image--but it would be in the context of doing so affordably.
Transactions would have to be independent of the forum, Pekka, etc. so that they have no liability of course. We could indicate interest (that we sell prints) in our tag lines.....
