Jim, I'm not getting it. I've read your threads, specifically
this one, where you state "I was trying to suggest that for some people in today's economy $100.00 - $200.00 might be worth considering (depending on the circumstances of course). But as some of the others have added, there are valid reasons for being cautious about that situation.
I don't know what your CODB, is but with all my expenses, upgrades in computer/software, photographic equipment, studio equipment, utilities, vehicle expenses, insurances, it costs me more than $200 just to turn the key in the studio door every morning."
My CODB for this event was: $20 travel and $180 for my time. What I didn't include was the equipment factor for which I don't really know what to charge. If you have some specific advice on that part I'd appreciate it.
So if I doubled the prices I posted would that be at the low end of your acceptability? I can specify usage which would avoid the Rolling Stone issue. Are the full-resolution images the one you have the real problem with? Because in this thread you suggest $20-$30 for a framed 8x8 (which would be like $10-$25 for the image) - I would expect a 1000px watermarked digital copy to cost significantly less than a framed 8x8. Just trying to apply all this information to my specific situation.
