I'd like to just sell one print let alone a "limited" run of say 500.

Yeah. I have sold a few prints but they have been event photos from car shows, motorcycle races, etc. I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. There were years when I struggled just putting food on the table and keeping cars running and any chance to make an honest buck was quickly taken advantage of. I would question the "limited print" sales I have seen. Photographers and artists in general aren't raking in the cash these days and I would think a great photo that sells regularly would have far more value over time than a one time sale at a high price. Would I fault a photographer for selling a few extra copies of his limited prints to feed his family? No way but I'm sure some people would. Since I've been broke, I would never limit the copies of a photo I could sell. (This is theoretical of course since I have never sold a print for more $20 and that was to a car owner or racer).
