    I take photos around my area (mostly beach sunrise and moon photos) anyway i was wondering if i could sell them (and bot on those photo stock sites). I want to sell them maybe here or on other forums. I would maybe sell full rights to the photos for around $5 or something.

    ok 1st, would this be a good idea and 2nd, where would i sell them if not here?

    Create your own site and sell your photos there. That way is the best in my opinion.

    Please keep in mind that stock photography is photography that can be licensed for specific uses. Here is your targeting market designers, graphic artists, art directors, advertising agencies, and marketing professionals. The potential buyers are designers, graphic artists, art directors, advertising agencies, and marketing professionals. The buyer licenses an image and the photographer is paid a commission.
    I would suggest to create a web site or a blog to at least show people some samples.
