One Good Content Provider

I know content providers are ten a penny and will always be waiting at the door.

But anyone who can move over to the mainstream and make a profit is good, far better than me, and I would keep him sweet.

And yes I do offer deals, those deals are on my site and not changed. But then I don't tell the seller what he can or can't do with his content in the future. I'm not that arrogant.

I dont know man but I have some 2 cents. Back in the day it was not uncommon for what chop is asking, not uncommon at all. But then again we were dealing with a whole differant medium, magazines. Most deals back then paid $1k per layout and 1k + for a cover. They kept your stuff for 6 months to a year and you could not sell them to anyone else until they were done printing them. After that you maybe got lucky and sold the same layout overseas for double the price but that was rare, or you were able to sell 1 or 2 images for the back of the rag campains. Shooters held contacts in the mags close to their wallet. Now with the advent of the net, it's much harder to hold business like that. Getting 1k for a shoot is not that easy so holding your rights for the sets is a big deal for re-sale. But here's my point, with the advent of digital and the cost dropped so low, what chop is asking for could easily be done. But the issue here is price. What is chop willing to pay for the content and the rights? I would have asked before I jumped, who knows it could have been worth it for you. And besides back then getting someone to tell you what they want IE he wants pantyhose etc, was hard as hell. I walked out of offices asking "What would you like to see in the next layout?" And got "who gives a shit, as long as she's ok looking, nude, opens her pussy and the shots are clear!"
