Auctioneering

[aggienaut]

   Yesterday I put over $11,000 of art on craigslist. At least thats the total we're asking for ... it was bought from real auctions for about $2,500 I think.

   This morning we already had an offer to buy one of the paintings for $1,500 --- we'd bought it at auction for $75.

   Dave wants to bring me to this auction in LA on August 7th. Says he's willing to invest up to $10,000 in auctioneering schemes. ...and he mumbled something about giving me a raise!


   Today the OC Register ran an editorial severely backpeddling their previous "all the bees are dying!!!" theme. I think iti would not be unrealistic for me to speculate that my press release on that subject could well have caused them to do so!
   Pwn!

are you sure it's okay to be telling this on your LJ? what if the people who bought it found out and ask for their money back? LOL

Yeah I definitely considered friends-onlying this because it seems like a lot of work related information to be posting. But, especially since this blog is not google-searchable, the odds of the buyer coming across it are astronomically small, and even then, he'd have no way of determining I wasn't talking about one of the thousands of other paintings that no doubt sold that day for $1,500
