find out who else they're buying pictures from, and ask them
what they're paying the other folks; then contact the other
people yourself and verify.  tell "WOW" up front that you
don't know what is fair, but will be verifying their
reported facts. being good-naturedly ingenuous gets you
futher, in the long run, than being craftily
pseudo-sophisticated.
