An Art Auction First For Steemit Maybe?
Sensitive Friends Fading 2024. Acrylic on canvas, 20 x 21"
This is today’s painting. I want to auction it for Steem Power. Below is the equation I use to price a painting:
At $25/hr for 3 hours, plus materials and Element “X” fee, I figure $110.50 as a fair price.
Domestic shipping and handling = $35. International = $75.
Now I want to convert roughly to Steem, and these numbers are where I will set my reserve for...
The First Better-than-Christie’s Steemit Throop Art Auction
U.S. buyer: Reserve set at $145.50 U.S. converted to roughly 350 Steem Power at time of posting
International Buyer: Reserve set at $185.50 U.S. converted to roughly 450 Steem Power at time of posting
The auction will run for 3 days beginning at New York Eastern Time of post, which is 12:10 p.m.
Post bid in comments section.
Canvas is stretched over 3/4" kiln-dried pine, and easy to hang with eye screws and wire, or design a frame to match room decor.
Highest bidder at or over reserve wins!
And I promise to power up all proceeds.
Come on rich Dolphins and Whales. Get your millionaire on! Buy a Throop with Steem. Hang it in your yacht galley! Serve krill soufflé and salt wine. Listen to your friends click and sing!
I think I tried this before on here. But I do much better just sharing my Artwork, photography , music, videos, and earning Steem and SBD …. It adds up. Especially if you convert a little bit to Bitcoin on the big Bitcoin dips. You can easily turn $100 of Steem or SBD into $10,000 with Bitcoin…
I see. It’s a lot of crickets, but that makes sense.
Live and learn.
It’s no fun packing paintings up anyway:)
Thanks!
It’s always worth a try. I know that one of the Founders of Blurt (Jacob) bought an oil painting from someone on Blurt a few years ago. Jacob also delegated 700,000 Blurt to my son for creating a 30 second video for Blurt.
Maybe Justin Sun (Owner of Steemit) will buy a painting ? You never know. You Have to put your stuff out there every day.
In my experience, rich people (the very rich) don’t buy art that they’re not told to buy by a dealer or speculator. It’s a shame. What do you expect from cardboard cut-outs?
Thanks for the encouragement:)
That’s true. I stopped selling my paintings when the Gallery told me that I would sell more paintings if I bought better frames. That was the end of that.
