Name Your Price.. Need Suggestions!

Well the french guy today asked me how the tutorial was going, I think he's going to be disappointed if I say oh not much I'm still working on it. He also asked me to name my price for the position (which has no formal title yet by the way) in France. I'm assuming this would be development work, and other kind of work as well that I do not know yet of. The company's got no name either, it's new. Any suggestions ? (To whoever is reading this??) I'm thinking 96K EUD per annum. I don't think that's an unreasonable amount. It costs almost 4 euros for a big mac in France. If the price isn't right I'm not going to do it, simple as that.

Maybe I should work on the tutorial first.. which isn't a real tutorial by the way.

One of my resellers, SHI is selling my software for me which is great. They also resell Microsoft, Adobe, McAfee, etc software and other hardware as well. Company profile available at http://www.florida.shi.com/Global/Content/About/about.asp. They only sold a copy of my software before this, but all their sales are large sales compared to what I'm used to. I wonder how much they are actually profiting as their purchase price is exactly the same as my retail price, I am sure they are making money from this. My other seller, SoftwareCasa's also sells software for me and they're based somewhere in Europe. There's also the one in France, Avanquest. And there's Kreis I&C in South Korea which has only sold one copy for me since March. These aren't as good as they could be but they should improve over time. Why I'm doing this is because I hate to rely on google and search traffic for people to find out about my products. Need others to sell my software for me without me breaking into a panicky sweat. I always worry about each month's sales.
