I sold some prints early in my learning to someone and I got out the positive slides to show the originals. They left with the prints they bought AND the slides. They denied having the slides when confronted.
Lesson learned and in actuality I probably wouldn't consider that print worthy to show anymore, so it was a relatively inexpensive one to learn.
Cheers
