Is it realistic to sell shorts here? If yes, how much should I ask for?

It's rare to get any money for them as short films are typically made at a loss. The value should be in the exposure and experience. I do know people who have sold them though. They were getting less than $500.

Thank you, C. J. And if you list them as free, they still must ask for permission before using?  so you can ask for writer credit? Just wanted to make sure if you put up for free, someone couldn't  just take and use without getting in touch first.

Absolutely! Any filmmaker who wants to make a script from here should be asking for permission regardless of any compensation. The writer should absolutely be getting a credit too.
