OK!! When some of you get a picture published in a magazine, what would you charge for the picture or pictures. This is a big publication tourist magazine for the area.
$350 seems high for licensing of this type. If it were a high end magazine or one with a lot bigger readership, you'd probably still be stretching it at that price. $50-$100 is much more reasonable.
I've dealt with this before, and here's the dirty secret: they're fishing. They know EXACTLY how much they can pay you, but they're testing to see if they can get it cheaper or free. Their pricing is based on the content of the photo, where it will go in the magazine, and how big it will be. If you were a regular contributor, they would've just dropped a check in the mail...but because you're not, they do the song and dance.
