Question First Photo Sale - Advice Appreciated

Hiya.

I'm selling some photos for the first time, and am unsure what's appropriate to charge, or what terms to set. I'd like to give the buyer a non-exclusive right to use them, and to stipulate that my name is displayed somewhere. They're clubbing shots, about 150 or so, all digital.

Any advice given would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers.

Problem is, I have no idea what constitutes 'too dear'. £20? £50? £100?
They're being sold to the DJs who ran the two nights I shot. Not bothered what they'll be used for, as long as they don't sell them on (I will stipulate that).

Organisations like NUJ (national union of journalists) and BFP (bureau of freelance photographers) also both give suggestions and advice. The later publishes plenty of books on the subject.
However, like the folks on here, they'll need far more detail as to the who/what photographs are of ,packaged to the customer (size,presentation etc) and use (copyrights,ownership,useage granted)

Roughly 150 photos of two small House nights, DJs and clubbers. Images are Fine Quality, Medium Size (approx. 2256x1496). Photos have been tweaked, cropped, etc, and are on a CD, some black and white but mostly colour. They may use them as they see fit, but not sell them. I retain ownership.
