Still…not the standard 30% drag that Heritage attaches…

Not PayPal any longer, eBay has their own internal processor -still fees are the same or higher.

That’s be the whitewash/propaganda version 🥳

“Was” SVB collateral ;)

Light. I called 60 a few weeks back.

Cripes. We’re referencing Snopes non-sarcastically now? This show sideshow has now jumped the shark.

Teaser… Before Roy Lichtenstein Went Pop The early works of the artist show that his playful irony was present from the start. By Louis Menand July 21, 2021 “Self-Portrait at an Easel,” by Roy Lichtenstein, circa 1951–52.Art work © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein One of the many good reasons to see the exhibition of Roy Lichtenstein’s pre-Pop-art work, “Roy Lichtenstein: History in the Making, 1948–1960”—which originated at the Colby College Museum of Art in the spring and comes to the Parrish Art Museum, in Water Mill, New York, on August 1st—is that it reminds us of something we tend to lose sight of when we get caught up in the critical business of trying to situate Pop in an art-history genealogy, or to unpack it as social critique, which is that Pop art is funny. It makes you smile. There are not a lot of art movements you could say that about. An unusual thing about American Pop art is that (unlike British Pop art, for example) the major figures—Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol—had no personal relationship with one another, and they developed their Pop-art styles independently. Another is that they all burst onto the scene…

Pre-Pop Roy from 1951-52, he can draw just fine. Further he can paint, which a majority of historical if not current comic artists cannot.

Eeek, $200, EEK!!

Your loss. I do it all the time, it’s great

That’s an eBay $1 start and no reserve result.

$72k all in?

One of the very few times that word has been wholly appropriately used on this site.

The Freeports of Europe are fascinating. As always, rules for the many, exceptions for the few.

So is this how you approach all agreements - shake hands up front with full knowledge, thus creating “acceptance”, and then force the other guy to chase your later intentional violations? Or is this just how you’d treat Barry Smith?

Like the mail room clerks and janitor?

I voted for something of yours, don’t remember what but I remember your “even odder than mine” moniker.

This board isn’t designed for nuanced conversation; it certainly isn’t designed to discuss “Reparations: Yes or No?” and almost nobody here past and present is willingly or able to discuss such matters logically without letting emotion and other logical fallacies enter and most likely dominate the discourse. So maybe that’s enough regarding Nazi Germany and the like? It’s really a poor fit anyway. Otherwise, regarding the European and California version of “artists rights”, at the basic level it’s a matter of how one defines Property Rights: absolute or relative, and then attempting to leverage the legal system to force your version on to all those that disagree. I think the same risks in the first paragraph as to population, nuance and logic remain though, so…challenge: prove me wrong.

Done in the days when the art was free. Good thing Steve Oliff slept in that morning.

What Would Jesse Marsh Do?

Nah. The Modern NPC Who remembers Eliza? Eliza was a program you could type a query into and it would attempt to have a conversation with you. It dated to the 1960s and there were implementations on most of the 1970s personal computers, including the Tandy TRS-80 line. It was quite amusing but trivially evident you were talking at a program, not an intelligent thing. Wolfram Alpha is another example and one that's still around. It can and does produce fairly complex answers and, when the question is related to a mathematics or physics-related question is quite useful. Today's "latest round" of this is ChatGPT and schools are allegedly "banning it", blocking access and similar. Let's differentiate.……… https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=247817
