It's VERY unusual to sell all copyrights to an image when it has value beyond a single specific client. The price should reflect that you are relinquishing ANY right to use an image which you created and consider personally valuable, several thousand dollars at a minimum because they intend to use it commercially. To price selling out the full copyrights, you have to balance what it's worth to you to keep the copyrights against what they are willing to pay. It's a tricky business... just remember, YOU created it, YOU own the copyrights and YOU can do what you please with that image; if you sell them the full copyright package, those things cease matter forever.
It's reasonable for them to want exclusive use of the image, but if they want absolute control in all media forever... they have to pay big for it. The fact that you have interest from others in it supports the idea that it has value. Assuming they will meet your price, you have to make the choice of whether to keep or sell.
