The day rate what just an illustration of the relationship of the model to the photographer value.
I don't want me or anyone else to give away the farm, nor do I want to gyp the model. In looking at the described practices (not this thread) it seemed like they were giving an awful lot for a little to the model. Maybe I am not seeing the big picture, so that is why the question was asked.
I'd like to gather a few more replies and then I will have some follow up questions if you don't mind.
Thanks again.

The primary idea behind TFP/CD is building a portfolio for the photographer and/or model. In a TFP/CD no money is exchanged, but prints or a cd is (just threw this in, there's talk of pricing, etc and just wanted to make sure.) But when it comes to pricing on a paid gig, what I've found to be the norm is considering the local competition prices, along with what is being offered.
