    don't know about useful or even good but i think this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....=STRK:MEWAX:ITshows either optimism,wishful thinking or delusions of grandeur
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Smart thinking actually. Place a useless item of no real value on ebay at a ridiculous price and include a link back to your web page. People will say have a look at this and link on forums and things so bots get a direct link back to the dedicated web page. Smart lad just a pity about his grammar

    i actually applaude him for doing this and i do think calling his artwork "a useless item of no real value " is a bit harsh they may not be the greatest and i certainly don't think i would concider paying that price for 1 [even when i am wealthy]but some of them look ok and face it all he needs is for 1 person to buy 1 painting and he will make more than most people make in 5 years then of cause if you've sold 1 at that price it then makes the others even more valuable

    Well I guess you can tell I am no art critic. I cannot fathom why people pay so much for these things yet whinge about $40 for their lawn. Good luck to him if he can get it but you normally have to die first before they command that type of money. Isn't that the way it goes.
