My name is the "Expat Artist" and I have over 100 oil and watercolor
original paintings for sale, all framed and vary from $200 to $ 5000 in
price. What I am looking for is an ebayer who wants to sell my
paintings over ebay at a considerable commission per sale. My works
have been at numerous exhibitions in Singapore. I can arrange for
shipment to buyer in any part of the world.

You can see most of the collection on my web site:
www.expatartist.com. If interested contact me initially at
ge...@expatartist.com

Meanwhile, do we have an art expert among us?

Can you get $200 for a painting like that? I know those fancy undersea
paintings in Hawaii were selling for $95,000 at a gallery on Waikiki.
Sheez, I just went in there for the air conditioning. I took one look
at the price tags,and knew it was time to find a new place to hangout.

You mean you're not digging

And who could not love

or

It's ART man!

I have suddenly lost respect for Singaporeans.

We have some totally legit upscale prints by a respectable artist that
we have been unable to sell on eBay at any price.

Our own view is that eBay is a terrible market for paintings and prints.

Which is a good thing! Damned near every framed print that eBay sellers
ship arrives with broken glass and cut paper.

Except mine, of course. I charge an extra $30 for 1/8" polycarbonate
replacement glazing. Buyers of shredded prints love it.

LOL! Gene just favored me with a private, personal reply:

Thanks for the additional description, pal. :-)

Is there a reason you can't create your own ebay account and sell them
yourself? I'd be leery of entering into such an arrangement with a total
stranger. For both your sake and your agent's, make sure you have a
written contract in place before you begin, spelling out exactly what is
expected of each of you.

Why can't you list them yourself? Critics aside, we can help you do that.

Because his mission is accomplished? Spammed his website and nobody threw
rocks at him.

On the other hand, it's a good place to sell very bad paintings. I didn't
believe it until a local started selling his stuff. He is crafty - makes
small (like 5x7") versions for the auction pictures and if it sells, then he
does the painting - fast.
