A little story. Take Art.
Vincent van Gough.
He spent month after month trying to sell his paintings, with people shaking their heads
(it's nice, but no thank you)
and that was for his asking price, and I can only guess at what that would have been.
Next he beleives that he must be a failure in life and commits suicide.
So to continue......less than a hundred years later one of his paintings sells at auction for a saggering 66 million.
So how can someting that's not worth his price, my guess about $200 dollars be worth over 60 million?
it's not just weird it's bazzar!
The only answer......he's no longer with us.

Cheers Joseph.
Hi Joseph, Thank you for your kind comments, and who knows, one of us might be another Vincent Van Gough....
