Very true. I've been in this business as a photographer since 1978. Sold my first set in the UK to "Mayfair" sold them a set this month as well, same with Barely Legal, first two front cover sets, and still sell to them.

In the magazine business you do business with the same people year in and year out. The problem with the net is there are too many conmen, get rich quick, chancers and people with no ethics coming into it. Yesterday a guy placed an order for $125, actually paid for it on Paypal, today he cancelled it, cos he did not think it was what he wanted. He will wonder why I tell him to stick his next order where the sun does not shine.
