A Local Media Company Wants to Use My Content, What Should I Charge Them?
olefoo: Is your site currently making money? Is theirs? Are the venues going to give you grief for scraping their sites?You are in a very good negotiating position since you don't need to sell to them, and they are approaching you.The numbers you need to know to negotiate effectively are how much it costs you to provide the listings; an estimate of what your listings are worth to the other party and an estimate of how much it would cost them to do the same things you are doing.You should look at their circulation report and rate card (they do give these out to advertisers) to derive those numbers.You may want to consider selling the entire site to them too.Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
