How much would you charge?

A couple of people that I know saw these 3 pictures & are interested in purchasing one when they are back from vacation. I have never sold a picture so I have no idea of how much to charger for an 11x14 or 16x20 or 20 x 30. I know they will want one of these sizes. Any suggestions?

Very nice pictures.
In the business world you mark everything up double your costs. Not sure if that holds true for photography or not.

How are you presenting them, as a print, matted, or matted and framed. The reason I ask is each step up costs you more a basic unmatted print in 11x14 will probably sell for $25.00 to $35.00, increase the price by about $10.00 for each increase in print size. These prices of course depend on what the print costs you. I sell most of my work matted and framed but if you have to hire that I would just try and sell the print without a mat and let the new owner have it done according to their tastes also matting and framing is expensive unless you do it yourself.

Try to find a price that you will not take a loss for all your hard work.

These will just be prints. I don't have what I would need to do the matting myself. I was thinking around $25 for the prints - thank you for your suggestions.

I sell 16 X 20 prints for 50 bucks, matting and frames add significant cost resulting in significantly higher price.
