So yeah, the point is that the photos do have value and I think the OP should try to maximize that.
I get what you are saying but I would suggest that pics sitting on a HDD that are not being offered for sale in fact have no value other than the personal value to the shooter being the reason they took them. I would also suggest the value of the pics put on the open market such as a stock agency may be quite low regardless of quality simply due to the amount of competing work on the same subject type.
We could argue all day as to their potential worth but at the end of the day, it's the old adage about what someone is willing to pay and it seems like there is only one person offering to buy at this time.
I would also point out relevant or not as it may be, the person asking is the NEW owner, not the one that let the op onto the land previously. That may have value and it may not depending on one's POV and future intent.
I'd also suggest, with full respect to the OP, as one gets further along the track in life, money often becomes far less important. I see this very much in my father and I feel it in myself.
Money is only important when you don't have enough to pay the bills or are ambitious. When you are comfortable, there can easily be more important things. I could do many things other people would dream of but I do not have the motivation. My Daughter just got home from her first overseas trip. She wants to go again and I'd rather pay for her to go and see things and enjoy herself than go myself. Money better spent to me.
There are lots of things I'd give everything I have and more for I can't get and I'd give a lot just to see out the rest of my days without any of the trauma I have already been through. Camera's, cars, homes and material things are often far less valuable when you reach a certain point in life. With a bit of luck, you are not old enough to realise that yet which isn't a bad thing.
Maybe the OP rather spend time with his kids or grand kids than try to sell pictures and take up his time with that than possibly frustrate himself with image sales. Plenty of things I could do to make more money but I couldn't be buggered either.
Maximizing the profit from these pictures seems not to be a priority of the OP and I can see many possible reasons why he would prefer to do other things rather than learn the intricacies of selling on the net. :0)
