Someone wants to buy the rights to my images

Wow, that is a compliment of sorts, for sure. As long as the intellectual property remains yours, I would think you could easily go for it. Would not prohibit you from selling prints of the same image, I presume?

I don't know, but I could just easily go take another picture of the same thing and the image would be better because of better equipment.

Well, they contacted me back. They just want a digital copy of each image so they can print and frame themselves. They are not looking to market them.

So I guess I will just charge what I charge for a large print, $229.

Well, they came back with an offer of $40 an image. They want 6 images. I turned them down. Then they offered $50 an image and will use me again. They want me to shoot more of New Orleans. I took the offer. I figure a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. They are gong to use some of my older pieces from 3-4 years ago, that I never intended to print or sale, because I didn't think they were good enough, so I am figuring that makes up for the low ball on images I do print and sale.

This company is the company that places pictures and art work in corporate offices' waiting areas, waiting areas in hospitals, etc.

They have a client that wants a bunch of New Orleans images.

I'd say just make sure they can't reprint and sell to other companies without paying you again.

There is no way I could do that other than look at their reputation. It looks pretty legit. They could have just stolen the images off my Flickr acct, so I believe they are pretty honest.
