So I took a bunch of pictures at a hippidy hop 'concert' (seems if you go around with a nice camera people don't even question it, ha.) Some people are interested in buying some of the crap I took. I'm just a small town reporter so I've never sold photos or anything.

So I wonder, how much should I charge for a CD of around 90 or so high res photos?

Picture related, as it is one of them.

If this is the gross average of the quality: the price of the CD. And don't expect many takers, unless it's a CD-RW

small town, people just want pictures, these are very good by their humdrum standards and I was the only one there with a camera. I'm no pro photographer and don't pretend to be one, just a kid writing for a newspaper. Guess I'll just charge five bucks.

No no no, 20$ minimum, Don't undersell yourself, You might lose a few sales from the price. But too many people let themselves get walked all over because they can print their own pics for 19 cents at the craptacular walmart, And somehow think that means thats all they will pay you for yours (As if they can take the same pics with their P&S's and no skill, makes no difference to them)

It's difficult to set a price for something like that. If you just want to be a nice guy and share pictures, a couple bucks to cover the cost and time to burn the CDs would be reasonable. If you're actually presenting youself as a professional photographer, it's important not to undersell yourself. I would set the prices depending on their intended uses and how good (specifically how commercially marketable) the photos are. If they're for personal use and they're not very good or marketable photos, set a lower price. If they're for commercial use and/or are of more marketable quality, they should sell for much more.

$20 is underselling yourself. My friend is getting paid $10 per photo in a local mag and i thought that was underselling, and that's like 10 photos. Make it worth your time and effort, and don't feel bad if you just have to say no to a ridiculously low price

That's selling exclusive rights to be printed. he's talking about selling copies to be viewed.

Did you get releases to resell this?

In my experience, people (especially the "musicians") get nine shades of butt-hurt if you start selling photographs of their "performance" without having a release from their label/venue/promoter/mom/etc/profit.
