Having Trouble with Pricing

[rmodys]

At this point I can't really afford a website with a specialized URL so I'm just using a friend's web hosting company for now. So anyways, over the past week or two I've had about half a dozen offers to buy one or two of my prints and one sale and I was wondering what a good price to sell 12 X 16" and 8.5 X 11" prints of some of these shots would be. I mount them on foam board and leave the framing up to the customer and use a high-quality plotter to print them on photo paper.

Any input? And I know that the descriptions and titles of the pieces aren't that great at this point, I'll change them when I come up with something better. Thanks!

Almost impossible to answer, well known photogrpahers can charge whatever the market will bear, unknowns well... how much do you walue your work. Go search out some websites of similar type and quality work, see what they charge.

You at least need to take into consideration how long will the print last and what type of foam board. If the foam board is one of those bargan store "Elmer's" then it is acidic and the the print will deteriorate over time. Both factors reduce the initial value. Like thedruid posted above, the market will be a major factor in the price.

Lots of factors. Inkjet print or Fuji Crystal Archive? No rights sold with the image I assume? Selling online, or to local people? Why not ask a local gallery owner for some advice on prices in your area?
