Here's the scenario:
Hobbiest, no intention of becoming a professional photographer and I don't market my photos, but how do I price a photo if I am contacted by someone, or even a business asking to purchase one of my photos and I'm interested in selling it?
Is there a general guideline, or is this a scenario where you would just WAG it? I assume there is copyright considerations too.
I was actually contacted a number of years ago by a company wanting to purchase a photo I had up on one of those free websites (don't even remember the site host). It wasn't "pro" quality by any means, but they were still interested. I had no idea what to tell them. It never happened as I didn't have the original in the size and format they wanted, but I've always wondered what others would have done in that situation.
The picture was a rather mediocre at best macro of an ant lion I shot with my old Olympus C3030 with a Raynox 2x lens screwed on the front.
