In a minute, some ESCAPE! Videos for your pleasure, amusement & entertainment, but first, I’d like to invite you to take a look at what I put up in a single night on eBay …
What that’s about is that a number of folks wanted to buy my art prints at $125 apiece and sell them for $250. I put a number of pieces up on eBay, as you see, pricing them at a retail of $299.00, which is a lot cheaper than we used to sell them, but that’s the market today, base $300.00 — go any higher and they panic and phone their accountants and their bank.
You can buy those pieces listed on eBay directly from the Institute and sell them for whatever the market will bear, but I hope you’ll be fair with your customers — you want that tenth sale and the twentieth.
What you can do is get pre-cut double mat boards that finish out to the size of the frame, which can vary quite a lot, depending on what you choose. I like a large mat and a fancy frame for my selling space, but a simpler frame at home.
All of the pieces I’ve listed on eBay have history and a story, the very things you need to make them sell like hotcakes. Whoever noted the hotcake sales and compared them to art sales, I wonder ….???
Well, no matter. Let me know how you do with these market indicators — it gives you a starting point, and we can add to the mix as needed. You’ll find the support photos and promotional material included in the eBay listings, for your convenience.
Now a little sound of Preservation Hall style jazz from New Orleans.
Django played a guitar like no other, but these guys are good!
And now to enlighten ourselves on how to construct and deliver a story, and it doesn’t have to result in a sale!
See You At The Top!!!
