Many writers have articles pilled up, so I can see that. Certainly someone could still own rights for many of the articles they wrote over the years and post them all at once. Now if they were asking "Exclusive" or "Full Rights" then that may not be possible. Either way it would raise a red flag and get a closer look.
There are authors here who submit amazing volumes of work. Some are just very steady writers who have their own goals to meet. Others write for other websites and sell for "usage" rights here. If anything is amiss, I check it out. I have gotten pretty good at identifying those who are trying to pull something and those who are simply steamrollers.
Everyone works differently. Some people work in fits and starts, others have set schedules, and others just work when they have some spare moments away from family or other obligations. I know it seems crazy sometimes . . . after all, I have been amazed at production rates not a few times. I have come to the conclusion that some authors here just do not sleep.

Imagine if you've been freelancing for several years and have hundreds, if not thousands, of articles featured on several websites on the Internet - each one possibly earning AdSense revenue. And then, you discover Constant-Content and find out you can resell these same articles for usage? Wouldn't you give it a shot? Even if you only make $5 bucks a sale, these articles have already been earning you money and this is just icing on the cake. Plus, they can sell over and over. More icing.
I find it quite impressive that a whole new strategy has emerged and is working out for some of the writers! I've been a naysayer about usage sales but it looks like I'm being proved wrong.
I suspect many of the articles you've seen have been around the block but they are being marketed using the appropriate license so that's fine and they've passed Ed and CopyScape so better yet.

I humbly crawl back into my cave with great apologies to the person I described.
It was stupid to even bring it up, because if I could see the pattern, no doubt the editors and site admin could see it too. I found it odd too that when this person started, they also didn't post on the forums a bunch, asking for hlep, or guidance on things. Now that makes more sense, this is probably the umpteenth site he or she has worked for.
Again, my greatest apologies, I never even considered the fact that this author could have all of these articles stockpiled, after all, I keep all of mine (though the ones that sell full rights move to a "Sold Full Rights" folder, just so I don't plaigarize myself tehehehe).
Besides, whether it's for use or full rights, well written articles fly off the shelves here. It's amazing what happens when you just put one full day of work in; encouragement abounds in this place! Thank you all!
