But recently have got an offer to sell my work with full rights like this. My image will appear on the product. For very product sold- I get 10% royalty. But I do not get any money until the product is shipped/sold. Sounds like a bad deal to me esp if these people are strangers and I am expected to give up full rights in such a "speculative" manner. ( i'm sure many of you got "that kind" of deal before ;p, please resist and don't sell cheap ok? Your work is worth something)
Thought maybe you guys would find this link timely:

Good post Adeline!! I think we always get calls like this- must be careful.
Thanks for the warning!! :)
Hope more people here will share insights and lessons more freely. We all need to learn and heed one another.
Thanks for the warning adeline! Heh heh i recently encountered something like that from "a local TV station"
:p All i can say to everyone is... READ UR CONTRACTS CAREFULLY otherwise u get dicked over!
Thx Zero for sharing.
The gist of Zero's lesson is- "READ THE LEGALESE" or get someone you trust to check for you just in case. What is verbally agreed or promised can be "DIFFERENT" from the "PROMISED" contract- but what is binding is what you sign!
