Pre-launch board · 5 of 100 slots placed
One image.
One rank.
One price to beat.
A paid image board for studios, products and projects. One slot holds one picture, and the board is ordered by what each slot cost. Outbid the position above you — or, if you already hold one, pay only the difference to climb.

Climb for the gap
Already on the board? You pay the difference between your amount and the higher position, not the full price again.
The difference rule
Hold position 05 at $480. Position 03 needs $675. You pay $195, and your slot now carries $675 at rank 03. Defending a position always costs less than taking one.
Price ladder
What each band costs
Reserve is the price of an empty slot, and also the floor for a held one: the next bid is the held amount plus a 5% raise, rounded up to the nearest $5, and never below the band's reserve.
| Positions | Slots | Reserve | To take a held slot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | 1 | $990 | Held + 5%, or the reserve if higher |
| 02 | 1 | $349 | Held + 5%, or the reserve if higher |
| 03 | 1 | $249 | Held + 5%, or the reserve if higher |
| 04 | 1 | $179 | Held + 5%, or the reserve if higher |
| 05 | 1 | $129 | Held + 5%, or the reserve if higher |
| 06–10 | 5 | $89 | Held + 5%, or the reserve if higher |
| 11–25 | 15 | $59 | Held + 5%, or the reserve if higher |
| 26–100 | 75 | $39 | Held + 5%, or the reserve if higher |
Prices in USD. A position is held until someone pays more for it; there is no expiry date and no monthly cost. Entry today lands at position 06 and costs $89; as the board fills deeper, the entry price steps down the ladder.
What am I actually buying?
A position on the board and the right to keep one image there until someone pays more for that position. No subscription, no renewal, no impressions to manage.
How is the order decided when two people pay the same amount?
By timing. The earlier payment keeps the higher position. The ladder never produces a tie you have to argue about.
What happens when someone outbids me?
Your image stays on the board and drops one position. Your amount does not change, so you can top up the difference and take the position back whenever you want.
Can I change my image after paying?
Yes. The holder link in your receipt lets you swap the artwork, the line about the work and the link. The price stays where it is.
Do you take a cut on top?
No. The bid is the price. Card processing is handled by Stripe at checkout.
What cannot be posted?
Anything illegal, adult content, or images that impersonate someone else's work. Violations are removed without refund — that is the only moderation rule on the board.
