There is a lot of good links in this SP thread about Selling Photos Online

TexasPhotoForum.com is great if you are in Texas, and even outsiders are welcome (members from all over the world have joined).

FredMiranda.com has one of the best forums on the net for photography (just don’t put up a picture to be judged/critiqued, they are vicious sharks), and their lens review section is awesome (as is their buy & sell area)

Then there is ShootHouston in my sig, but that’s really only helpful for people in Houston, Texas.
