That happened to one of my photography professors. An add popped up on TV during the Olympic Games with one of his images. It was a company he had done $50K worth of busuness with in the past. He thought it was worth $2500-$3000 from past dealings but he was pisssed off. They said send them a bill. He billed them $5000 to gouge them and they promply paid it and he never heard from them again! Probably losing 50 grand in future work!!!

Did your professor then teach you how to actually negotiate the fee - or talk to you about what he should have done instead of just sending them an invoice, before negotiating the fee?

In other words, what did you learn from that story he told you?

Yes, that's why he was relating the story and that's why I asked the 3 questions above.
