@Richard - feel free to set up your own subscription service, I'll make sure and sign up, or you can send any unwanted work directly to me. PS - I've tried to get people to send work you've made they no longer want to me, but no one has. I'm going to keep it up.

@Paulo - mail-art and money does not go hand and hand, thus trying to tell it for nothing online.

@Dean - keep in mind there's three other items that I'm selling. None of those other three have bids on them currently. I'm also selling a bunch of t-shirts if you happen to be interested in any of those.

@Adam- for sure, for sure, for sure. I love the idea. Once you win the auction, you need to push the selling of the item very hard. I'm sure we can trick someone into thinking it has more value than it does.

I am definitely going to resell it Jon! We just need to drive the price up more in order to set a new industry standard for mail art sales, at the very least a standard that accommodates the current rate of inflation. I am going to sell it for a dollar more than whatever I purchase it for though l, because well, i am only in it for the money anyways!

I don't know if mailart goes hand in hand with money, but I like the idea of ​​receiving a random piece of art... I'm sorry it's not available in Portugal...

28.03.21 Dare Mister Jon Foster & Mister Adam Roussopoulos, .....I think it was the mail artist Lon Spiegelman who stated eons ago that "Money & Mail-Art don't mix." ---but I in turn ask: Does that mean it is worthless or priceless???   (Not to mention that I highly value my meager collection of Spiegelman  [as well as my my equally valued Foster & Roussopoulos collections]). ......................I've often thought that a "Mail-Art" subscription service was a practical solution to any  & all that might wish to be involved in mail art (each mail artist setting his & or her rules for involvement [well, maybe a standard agreement might work]). .... & I've tried it,  but only as a result of a charitable contribution on my part with no reimbursements coming my way.  I suspect  that I'm not really confident of any sustained interest in my offerings & also, my lack of entrepreneurial skills are the reasons I haven't pursued this notion. SinCelery, Richard Canard ......Post Scriptum: Go, Jon, Go!!!
