Before you start I can tell you that even at 3 quid I aint making much more than pennies..The actual print costs me about 20 pence from photobox.. but then 1.50 quid delivery to me.. then I ahve to pay delivery to whoever bought... I make more if someone buys more than one but I dont actually sell many.. I cant remember ever selling an accy stanley pic.. i havent got a printer anymore and cant afford one

I pay 150 quid a yr for public liability cover.. 150 a yr per camera service. fuel to get to places blah blah.. i only charge the 3 quid because aftre giving pictures away for years i was starting to lose out badly..

and now someones complaining at 3 quid .. unbelievable.. go on willow.. who ?

I have committed the cardinal sin here by actually referring to something which was said by someone on another forum. I am forever saying people shouldn't do that! I duly hang my head in shame.

Actually I thought you'd responded to the comment on there yourself Kipax but maybe I'd dreamt it. I thought I'd posted something on here the other day and then couldn't find it later so maybe I spend some of my time in a parallel universe.

I'm surprised that at £3 a print you're not actually making a loss when all things are taken into consideration which was why I was surprised that anyone could moan about the price. Anyone wanting to make a living from photography would have to charge a heck of a lot more than that.

Even if you were to put them on a memory stick and toddled off to Max Spielman there'd still be the time involved in doing that and then like you said, the postage and packing (well whatever you call a stiffened envelope) to get it to the person who wants it.

What I was trying to say was how could anyone moan at £3 when copies of photos from newspapers cost more than twice that.
