I asked you guys the other day on ICQ a similar question to this guy above is asking, cep't I wanted a LOT of photos.. not just $1-5 worth, and you said you didn't break up sets..
I was fine with that, and decided I'd just go ahead and buy a whole bunch of sets even though I have no use for the nudes
for this personal project they were being purchased for..
6 years in, 1500 hand picked photo sets, several hundred thousand photos purchased, and finally found the first content provider that didn't go that extra inch to make a buck..
guess who's bookmark and 'sets to buy' list just got deleted..

I see both sides of this argument. Since it takes just as much time to process the license on one photo as on a set (in fact, as it's an exception, it might take more time), and since this use devalues the photo in question quicker than burying it way down deep in an archive of 10,000 or 100,000 pics, the photographer is justified in asking extra for the damage you're going to do to the pic. So, what one is asking when one wants a photo out of a set is a favor, and not just a small one. What I didn't hear was what was offered in return for this favor?
If a magazine were to call me up and want to use a single photo, I'd probably charge them as much as Charly wanted or even more. What makes this situation so different?
