What is the going rate for a 1000 word article in a lower-profile sport?

I pay $75 for 1000 word news article that is well researched and timely.

Would I be better off waiting to get out of the sandbox etc (at least 5 months and counting so far) and only putting the articles on my site?

IMHO, if you're content is good enough to be noticed and in demand by the top two sites in your niche, I would wait and see what happens when you get out of the sandbox. I think its worth the risk of seeing if the future potential outweighs the present value of selling your content.
