Need an opinion from some folks who would have a better idea than me at this point of what to charge for a piece of art.
I know at least three of you have seen my dragon print that I did way back in 1991 (Clue, you were there when I inked the little bugger in Carol's Texas apt.).
I have a trucker friend who's interested in buying a print of it to take to a friend as a tattoo pattern. I know he's the type to keep his word when he says he'll destroy the print once the tattoo is on, and not leave a copy for the tattoist to reuse.
Question is...how much should I charge him for the print? And...any other thoughts from the art-selling savvy amoungst you?

I think perhaps you ought to ask him what he's comfortable paying.
If I were selling what amounts to an unmounted, unmatted photocopy of one of my pictures, I'd have a price in mind somewhere between five and ten bucks, but I'd want to see what he thought of paying first. Kind of like a hold out bid on ebay, yaknow?
