Well, that at least makes me feel a little more confident should I decide to start listing.. > In terms of web sites, we set up our own. Well, actually my sister did. But, you're not aware of sort of community site to do so? Is anyone here? I find it hard to believe there's not a site out that that acts as an middleman to put starving artists in touch with people who want original artwork, and does nothing else but this. Not neccessarily in a bidding/ebay enviroment, either, but just over all. And not just for photographers, but other artists, as well. This seems like a niche that could easily be filled.. anyone else interested? :) > There's some software out there to do it, and once you get it set up, it's > actually quite easy (apparently).

I'm an admin at an ISP with a pretty healthy web hosting and colo base. I'm, unfortuantly, far too familar with what can be done, and the headaches having to run the machines for people. :) > So far, we've only sold a few directly from the site; probably about 5 sell > on eBay for every one that we sell from the site. Not making much money, but I look forward to selling prints, and not for any money at all, but for the fact that if I sell a print, it means that someone, somewhere, is going to hang it up, look at it, and enjoy it. I want to find people who would buy my work for that reason, and that reason alone. Again, I can't imagine I'm the only person like this.. or maybe I am. -- http://www.infotainment.org "The destructive character is cheerful." - Walter Benjamin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
