    Cutcaster: flexible media price system

    2
    By Amos Struck on May 6, 2009 Microstock News

    cutcaster logo

    Cutcuster, 1 year old media marketplace, has introduced a new kind of photographic dynamic exchange. As a buyer of images or vector illustrations, you can immediately license or bid for this content by submitting a price to sellers. Sellers can accept, decline or negotiate with the buyer by resubmitting a new offer back. In addition, sellers can set their prices or use the Cutcaster pricing algorithm to correctly determine the market price.

    What is the Cutcaster Algorithm?
    Cutcaster's proprietary pricing algorithm takes the work out of determining and maximizing your content's revenue by changing its price to match the demand in the marketplace. All you have to do is set an initial price or allow us and then let the algorithm do the rest – the price of your image and illustrations will then fluctuate based on a set of market variables.

    Another interesting feature is Project Request:

    What is ProjectRequest?
    ProjectRequest puts the Cutcaster community to work finding or creating exactly the type of you need. Post a ProjectRequest and get the custom content you want on-demand. Outline what you're looking for, tell us when you need it by, then watch the submissions roll in!
