I think some of you have already sold some pictures for different occasions, so maybe someone could help me with the following problem:
How much money could an amateur like me could take if someone want to use his pictures. Up to know I sold two times some pictures. The first time it was someone who need some pictures as decoration for a restaurant. He offered me 200$ for four pictures. The next time I got 200 Pounds for 10 images from an tourist agency. They always wanted them as digital data, not as a print.
I was quite happy about this, but of course I don't know if it was a reasonable prize. At the moment I have two other offers. One is a picture for a book title. No idea how much they should pay me.
There's also someone who wants to use them on his webpage and offered me a prize like on pages as istockphot.com. It's something like 3$ for a midsize picture. That's not really much money.
At the moment I always ask the people how much they want to pay, but of course, that could be stupid, if they offer a less money as it would be reasonable.
Are there any webpages or other sources to get information about prizes for pictures. Or has someone of you experiences with that and could give me some hints?

I offered two options:
A multi-use price of $75 per shot, as long as it was restricted to this particular site.
A single-use price of $50 per shot, obviously limited to this site.
I did not consider the price of unlimited use (in other sites) or for distribution, that would be higher than the $75.
They got back to me indicating they were only interested in the single use, and offered $150 for the four, I settle for $180.
The key of the agreement for me was how they were going to use the pictures. You have to consider that when you set up your price. To the person who's offering you $3 per picture, that's an insult. You shouldn't even sell prints that low, digitals should be more expensive.

Die Anfragen, die bisher kamen, waren halt über flickr, da war halt nichts aus Deutschland und es ging auch immer um Bilder, die ich in Japan gemacht habe, daher Dollar und Pfund. Na mal sehen, wie es sich entwickelt. Danke auf jeden Fall für deine Einschätzungen :)
