The other day I had someone e-mail me about buying about 10 of my portfolio pictures for personal use around their house, I've never had a request like this yet so I was wondering how should I price them so they aren't to much but not a give away.

By definition they must be the best ones you have and you will have no control over what happens to them. Ask them what sizes they want, how they want them mounted, work out how much it will cost for you to supply them then times it by 3. I tried the double thing once and by the time it was all over I still made almost nothing from it. Chris.

Jul 01, 2008 00:33 | #8 Yeah, Im kinda not wanting to sell them to this person simply because I can sell them to the artists record company and make hundreds if i knew how. And also all of the pictures the buyer wants are of popular musicians. I offered to have them printed and mailed and would have found out how much the prints would be and tack on my fee but they said that it wouldn't work since they wanted to make a couple different sizes for around the house. So I was going to send them a downsized file with my name marked on the photo for a fee. Does that sound ok? I dont trust sending them the actual file for reprinting, never know where it would end up. Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder.
