I too find it a bit hard to believe you sell a lot of that… I guess the clients who like that stuff aren’t really the clients I’d want. So you do charge. I think you need more practice before charging. You recognize yourself that you have white balance and exposure issues, so unless you can master fixing that, it doesn’t seem right to charge. Your monitor brightness should closely match that of finished prints. That’s how I set mine. I’m working on a Macbook and I leave my monitor down three notches from the brightest because that most accurately reflects how bright my prints are. If you are working on a tube-style monitor that might give you a migraine… but really no one should even attempt editing photos on that old of a monitor in my opinion. They’re terrible and the colors burn out so quickly. LED is the best and LCD is ok but LED retains correct color calibration the best. My Macbook is LED and I think most newer computers are as well.
On deleting the photos, I’m only one person and I think you’d benefit from critiques from more people than just me.
