What? You think that there might be manipulation of a market, where
every perception, of value, is totally subjective, and there are lots of
consumers who's taste is entirely in their mouths? Maybe not even there
if you take into account some "fine", and very expensive, vintages?
Well I never!

Frankly, this is so far out of the ordinary that I have a hard time
believing there isn't a little market manipulation at play.
Say I'm a wealthy individual who already owns a lot of fine art
photography. I approach a fine art photographer with a "deal". I tell
him that I'm willing to offer him the headline-grabbing price of $x
million for one of his images. This puts the photographer at the top
of the fine art photography food chain and instantly makes Lik's other
photographs command higher prices in the collector's market. On the
other hand, a headline grabbing price like that for a photograph is
like the "rising tide that lifts all ships". As a photography
collector, such news probably increases the value of much of the rest
of my collection.
All I ask Lik in return for this headline grabbing sale price, is a
rebate of about 75-80% of the published selling price.

Doesn't that make your kitchen an 'installation'?
Best of luck with the ceiling; I had a bedroom ceiling come down in 2009 and
that turned from a repair into an entire house rebuild; a five year mission
where nobody wanted to go.
Thanks - I hope it doesn't come to that.
