How much would you charge for 30 stills, Huzzuh?

Because an animated fighting move generally contains between 20-120 of those.

Anyhow, price as always is a combination between what a person is willing to pay, what the art is worth, and how much the artist values their time for that. Most artists who don't do commissions full time and/or don't have a busy full time job undervalue their commissions significantly for the time they spend, often selling them at 2-3 bucks a manhour with no additional return. These folks also are often starving for cash as is regularly seen on their pages and are overly grateful to the commissioner as well for the act of doing so.
