FAQ to Using Owned

How does the money get distributed when a photo is purchased?
When a photo sells on Owned!, the money gets split between two users. The previous owner of the photo receives a bulk of the money -- everything they paid for the photo, plus 1/2 the difference in what they originally paid and what the new owner paid. The remaining money goes to the user the photo is of.

Example:
Evan pays 5000 for a photo of Steve.
Lincoln then comes around and pays 8000 for that photo.
Evan gets his $5000 back plus 1/2 of $3000 ( $8000 - $5000 ) amounting to $6500 total.
Steve gets 1500.

How Does Cash Out Work?
You can sell photos that aren't selling back to the house and get back a portion of the GamerNook Gold you spent.

I bought a photo and now it is gone and I didn't get any money for it. Where is it?
The person you bought may have removed that photo from GamerNook. Because of laws governing removal of content, we must remove the photo if the person who posts it wants it removed. That is just part of the game.
