While Rights Managed licensing has taken a beating over the past few years it is not totally dead. So far this month we have had a number of sales for $300 and above, including one for almost $1,400.
BTW, none of the photos are especially unique or special at first glance. One of the photos, seen here, http://www.acclaimimages.com/_gallery/_pages/0480-0908-1215-0642.html is probably unique enough that the buyer may not have had many other choices but some of the other sales were of cell phones and other common images.
Of course just 4-5 years ago we made such sales on a much more regular basis so the news is really not that good when viewed from the long term perspective.
I would love to hear from other RM sellers about your experiences and how you are adapting to the MicroStock dominated environment.
