I especially like the description of lot 5582 the Bethoven thing:

"Inscription: Numbered in pencil, "published by Sunday B. Morning", and "fill in your own signature here", in blue ink.."

 

In the current world economy marginal 'artsy' auctions may not even attract the regular clueless buyers ?

Their auctions from the last few months seems to be all items from this etsy seller.

 

Holy California Dreaming about their prices, and of course it helps if someone's looking.

The 'grey' art market of so-called 'limited edition' prints is frequently a scam.One of the most well-known examples of flooding the market was (as some have mentioned before) the Dali caper (or is that kipper ?)-
