The whole thing is very simple really. If you see something you like, and the price seems reasonable, then you should probably buy it if it is legitimate. If others don't like it, well, maybe they should be more concerned what you think of their stuff. On the other hand, if you are trying to make money, you should probably make some effort to understand the nature of the business you choose, as well as the level of risk.

I would generally agree with this and think this is a reasonable approach and there is value in the intangibles of a reminder of a great experience
Personally, we've checked out the previews and love a number of the pieces but just have found the costs of "prints" don't fall within what we would fall under our own value definitions.
