USB NFT – “Gorby’s Emporium” 1/10 – signed & numbered – $89.95
Sometimes I lose track of time, don’t you? What I mean is, I suddenly realized that it’s been days since I communicated any of this incredible stuff to anyone, so here I am to remedy that with this update:
First of all, we’re only hours away from release of the Godd Particle — just one more little tiny bug. I wouldn’t want to have to reload any of those particles with corrected software, so we’re really squeezing hard to get all the kinks out before we ship them out.
Also good news, we have enough Godd™ Particles to ship the first wave of orders — we just barely squeaked by. This is significant because our particles come to us from a far-away land, and it could take months, but as I mentioned, we have them in hand, having foreseen this situation months ago.

Once in a while — and in your case, perhaps quite often — you’ll really want a video to demo the product you’re listing on eBay, and you’ve heard that you can’t do it.
It’s easy to make real money in the virtual world — lots of people have been doing it for years. Don’t ask where you’ve been all this time. There’s a lot to do every day, who can keep up with everything?
You can do a regular business and conduct your marketing and sales online and ship what you sell.
In Gorby’s Scientific Business Plan you need no inventory whatever, at least not the ordinary kind that you have to store in a costly storage unit for years on end, kinda like a timeshare but with just yourself holding the bag.
So never mind conducting your online business as a side-hustle. Let’s talk serious money, enough to pay the bills every month. Continue reading →
Well, heck, looka here. If it isn’t the old Norton Street Contact Orb! I made this back in 2014 as a backup in case for some reason Second Life failed, but it didn’t. It’s quite healthy, with over a million users a day, and double the number of landowners from last year.
Still, it’s a nice backup, eh?
Thing is, you’d have to learn, actually LEARN, how to use it, how to set up a base and most of all, how to defeat your online barriers, of which there are plenty, not the least of which will be your server.
If you have a stable IP, you might do better, and I’d strongly advise it anyway, if you ‘re planning to make a living online, which if you don’t do, you probably won’t live very long, as a result of illness or starvation.
What good is a payroll tax deduction if you don’t happen to be on anyone’s payroll?
Contact Orbs are great for staying in touch. You can use the text messaging already in place, or you can add voice with a number of different options for vocalization.
Most folks prefer the texting, and I’m definitely in that camp. Continue reading →
“Me & My Money”, a serigraph produced decades ago.
My serigraphs used to retail at $1800-$3000, but we haven’t marketed them for at least 20 years — what are today’s prices? No idea, but we’re going to find out.
I intend to dig out some of those serigraphs, produced in the days before computer generated “giclee” color printing. These are from pastel originals. They are each and every one completely hand-printed, each color laid down separately, through a carefully prepared silkscreen, until all colors are present on the print.
Technically, it is “a work on paper”, and is produced in a profoundly limited run, hence it is sometimes referred to as “a multiple original” or “an original multiple”, depending on what part of the country your gallery might be standing.
I’m offering them today at ridiculously low prices, because my market has yet to be re-established in the marketplace.
Hence and therefore, the serigraph “Me & My Money” is available FRAMED to retail at $850, which means that your wholesale cost will be $350, allowing you to “keystone double”, which is standard retail practice.
Keep in mind that this piece comes framed, and that means money. If you don’t want it framed, take off $50 and we’ll ship you the serigraph flat — I don’t roll prints if I can help it — of course, large paintings on canvas are quite another matter.
There are not many of any of my earlier serigraphs left — they sold surprisingly well at the time — so if you want one of these compelling and dramatic pieces, better say so right now. Please don’t contact me months from now and expect to get one of these serigraphs. Continue reading →

One of the less-objectionable Keith Haring “artworks” generated by the Warhol Marketing Plan, which was to rip off everyone mercilessly without regard for public safety, sanity or aesthetic.
A retail location can be an ideal location for eBay sellers & fast online connections.
Having a retail space gives you immediate credibility with buyers, but it adds a tremendous amount of expense and personal commitment of time and energy to run one successfully. You need to have a real knack for working with people to go face-to-face like this. Online, it’s different. You HAVE no face, not really, just faceBOOK and a seller’s homepage, which is a sea of anonymity in a seemingly transparent envelope.
When you log onto eBay as a seller, it’s a different experience entirely than the one you had as an end-user buyer. As a buyer, you needed to know nothing — you had to depend on the seller to know what they had and what it’s worth, and mostly that was dead wrong, if you go back and look at it closely.
