$9,500 for a painting of a fishing lure?

Seriously, for an abstract piece this one is an attention getter. Your parents
had good taste.

In art.

:-)

Good luck with the sale.

Dang, I've got to quit trying to read the newsgroups late at night. I
would have sworn when I first opened the post that it said OT: Fake
Oil Painting.
Sorry about that. It's a lovely piece. Out of my price range.
Since we are OT here and talking about "art", please take a look at:
www.artforlifeinc.com
These are some prints by a welsh artist and I'm getting involved in
trying to sell some of them for the company here in the states (the
company belongs to a couple of nice ladies that I have a contract to
do other business for). The question I have is do you think the
stickers, posters and prints would lend themself to selling on ebay
via a store or dutch auctions?
I hope no one thinks I'm trying to spam the group with this, it was
just a thought that came to mind here late at night.
OT off

You realize you're joking about their first-born here. Better not let
them hear this.

Where's the final plague when you really need it? ;-)

You'll have to promote them in an ebaY store, probably with the occasional
regular auction. Dutch auctions are a good way to get a bad price.

Why not just regular ebaY auctions?

Naw, we thought Reid was spamming the group with his close up hand-tied fly.
:^)

You might get better answers on alt.marketing.online.ebay.

Not every kind of thing sells well on ebaY. My friend is listing some
artist-signed postcards with a gallery auctioneer, who figures they'll bring
$50-125 each. Not a nibble on ebaY.

Not with Ted Williams dead. He might have bought it.

I think he died. Or was that Vin Scully?

Maybe they are both dead (or maybe both
alive).
