$50 is decent pay for one time use. It's not decent for full rights.

A gift certificate doesn't please me. Cash would. 

Those are my thoughts.

Sorry Bobby but I have to disagree somewhat.

It is now the 21st. Century, not 1960 or 1975 or 1995.................$50 for 
even a one time use is rediculous. Fifty dollars doesn't even buy a nice 
dinner for two or fill up the tank on a Suburban.

Recently, many publishers have come out with terrible publishing agreements.
They actually want to pay less, in some cases, than they did 25 years ago.
The publishers want to control the images so they can use them in secondary 
markets like the internet, CD's, etc. and, actually, a lot of money is at 
stake.
Regular photographers are fighting these all over the country.
