If I was the customer, I wouldn't buy it, nor would I ever use you again. Secodly, if I was YOU, I wouldn't want my name attached to THOSE pictures. Especially if you depend on word-of-mouth. Your name will become synonomous with "low quality" even if you make great looking prints.

That really depends. Does it really have to be able to print that large? Most people are going to want 8x10s (I would think). Depends how many they want and how much PP you do on them. If I was just dumping them as is, I'd probably let em go at $5 each? Maybe $10? If I cleaned them up, without anything super fancy? I really wouldn't know. It varies so much. I have heard people talking of $25 and up? I don't sell anything of my own (yet) so I haven't had to make these choices yet.
I haven't really gotten into this too much myself, but here is something I just kinda thought of. How much would you charge for 10 wallet, 3 4x6, 2 5x7, and 1 8x10 of any given picture? (Or whatever comparable "package" you have). Add up that cost, that is what you sell that image for. Let them do whatever they want with it. You "get" what you would for printing, but you don't have to print, and they get their picture. Especially if you don't get a lot of repeat print orders anyway... saves you the hassle.
Just my two cents.
