I actually used that phrase because more people understand it than the phrase "photographs available for license"... :-) But yes, you're right, my photos are rights-managed, not royalty-free, so in that sense, you can't just "buy" them. Although I do intend to sell prints as well, and those, obviously, can be bought and sold. I went into more detail on <a href="http://raoulpop.com/photos-for-sale/" rel="nofollow">this page</a>, where I used the same terminology, but clarified it further to avoid confusion.

Use of the words, "for sale" indicate that the buyer is buying your rights in a photograph i.e. they own your picture. You are in fact (I hope) "licencing" the use of your pictures. That is, you while you continue to own the picture you are licencing the client to use that picture in an agreed way.
