Homo sapiens is only about 130,000 years old. And granite is an igneous rock, formed far below the earth's surface at temperatures which would instantly vaporize any organic material which came into contact with it.
IF it is that old, it's not a human foot, and it's not in granite. It MIGHT be a homo habilis or homo erectus in limestone, sandstone or one of the other fossil-bearing rocks, or it may be FAR younger than your estimate... but either way, you're going to have a lot of trouble selling it to anyone who knows anything about paleontology.
I would suggest getting an expert to look at your fossil and give you a more accurate analysis, and then set your price accordingly.

I never heard of a fossil embedded in granite, which is an igneous rock. So I guess it would be worth a lot.
