What do you think I should do? Also, if I sell it, how much do I sell it for (they are asking me to give them a price to publicly list)? I'm an amateur when it comes to these things. Thanks!

yeah why not?
however find out about the glossy thing. glossy NEVER looks good in a gallery (lighting creates hot spots on the print when viewing). you need to print on a high quality matte such as a Hanhimuehle or Epson fine art paper. It'll probably cost you about $30-40 to print but worth it. If the photo is good, include the print cost and add $75-100 bucks on to it. It's going to be a big size so people wouldn't mind paying over $100 for a good photo on that kind of paper.
