a mistake - never say no.  It makes people feel uncomfortable and then they
can mentally justify whatever action they chose to take to get what they
want.

Next time try aiming a beaming smile at the person and a loud clear voice
say: 'why, yes! - let me just work out the professional fee for you' .. go
on to explain that circumstances are different for people purchasing single
prints for private use compared to those purchasing publishing rights for
images or using them for commercial purposes and then quote your price.

Maybe you'll get the sale, maybe the unthinking soul will simply turn
crimson and move on, a little more educated about the real issues.

..give them a fair price, given that they are in all likelihood going to
make a complete mess of the image ;-)
