So he replied asking how much I would be willing to pay, and he explained that it's an unusual situation because the firm already paid him. But that he normally charges $200 for individual portrait sessions. And he pretty much made all the points that Foot did.

I was pretty surprised at how much he wrote. It was a really long email for somebody dickering over some fraction of $50.

I said I valued what he did, but the picture was only worth $20 to me. And I hoped that I wasn't offending him.

He hasn't responded yet. And $20 is even more than I wanted to spend, so I'm cheating myself. I should have offered $10, since that's about what it's worth to me.

Interesting negotiations over nothing.
