    Resale of Getty Images - Please Read

    Hello Everyone,

    I have spoken to Getty Images directly about individuals attempting to resell Getty Images to our members. As per that conversation, I have been informed that Getty Images does not give authorization for this type of activity. Therefore, I deleted an earlier message on this forum where the poster proposed they can offer such a service. That post, and others similar to it, will remain off this site unless the poster can provide us with evidence of authorization from Getty Images.

    In addition, since Game Used Universe does not condone the unauthorized distribution of licensed properties, all future posts regarding the resale of Getty Images will be deleted from this site. Now that Getty Images has made this point clear, while individuals can certainly make their our choice of purchasing anything they want in the open market, any unauthorized purchase of licensed materials will have to be done outside of Game Used Universe.

    Please feel free to post your comments here or email me directly if you have any questions about this issue.

    Sincerely,
    Christopher Cavalier
    CEO - Game Used Universe

          Sorry for being ignorant about the subject but how can you legitimately buy images from getty? Are they expensive? I checked their webite but I didn't see any pricing.

              Getty Images has an exclusive contract with Major League Baseball. That means companies have to purchase photos from Getty if they would like to sell the photo. To sell the photo a company would have to have a licensee with Major League Baseball. The most popular company people buy from is Photo File. If you see an image on Getty that you like you can call Photo File. Two things will happen:

              1) They already have the photo in stock and you can order one or more.

              2) They don't have the photo in stock and you would have to pay a fee for them to get the photo from Getty and / or order a minimum amount of photos from Photo File.

              Hope this helps.
