Hi,
Someone wants to buy a couple of pics to make puzzles to sell.
How much shall I charge?

Cheers

Congrats on the interest.

A few things which would help to know:

Is it a commercial company, or someone working from their garage? (obviously "Pete's Petshop Puzzles" won't pay as much as a big manufacturer!)
Quantity of each Design of puzzle that they'll produce...?
How long they'll produce them for...?
UK/Europe/Worldwide distribution...?
Do they want exclusive rights...?

Thanks Nick,
I've made enquiries, their website indicates a worldwide commercial business, I guess quantity and length of production is dictated by demand, but they will know what number they first produce.

Cheers

Hi Barrie,
Just had a play on that calculator no wonder you professionals are rich :eek: . I'll stick in the answers to Nick's questions when they arrive.

Rich! I wish!

Now if Barrie would just pass on a few of his advertising jobs ....:biggrin:

Yeah right Tim - rolling in the stuff :biggrin:

As I say, don't forget the price calculators include the agency's 45-50% fee and from that tax has to be paid etc etc etc.

Interestingly, I have just sold an image on Alamy that was actually sold through a sub-agency and after fees to BOTH agencies, I have received 27 US dollars - time for a new Mercedes I think!
