Wing Yau,
We are interested in purchasing the following image in your Flickr portfolio.
We are wondering what the cost would be for the following options
1) Purchase the image outright for Global use (complete buyout)
2) Global use for 3 years.
Please let me know.
Thanks

I assume (1) means they own the copyright and (2) I hold the copyright. I suppose they will prepare the necessary paperwork after I pick the option. Any advice about the pros and cons of (1) and (2), and what is a reasonable amount I should expect to be offered? Anything in particular I should watch out for?
Thanks!
