To
Mockmickey, keep doing what you are doing. Australia needs an

| Q: |
Its
a nice piece of furniture but seeing that you have decided

| Q: |
Doesn't
eBay charge their listing fee as a % of the starting
price? You better pray to God you sell it, else you'll be
seriously out of pocket with a $17M starting price, unless
of course you own shares in eBay?!?! |
12-Sep-07 |
| A: |
do they well
i have been a member for nearly 7 years so I am right for
comments on my ebay account ,,,,thankyou for your
comments, although insignificant to art piece... mark |
| Q: |
There
is absolutly magnificent workmanship involved in this
item. It is stunning in every respect. However, I'm sure
you are a serious artist----but your work is not going to
be taken seriously by selling it on Ebay---and asking a
preposterous price for it. It immediatly turns a beautiful
piece of art into a joke. It cheapens it's value because
instead of people viewing it and basing their judgement of
it on the workmanship----instead they keep comparing it to
the 18 million dollar price tag. In that case, your
redback cabinet loses every time. You are obviously a
great and talented artist----why cheapen yourself and your
work with this type of publicity. Asking 18 million gets
people scrutinizing your sanity instead of your work. If
you have to sell your work on Ebay (which I don't believe
you do) then put a fair price on the piece. However, most
of the people on ebay are regular people and 1800 dollars
would be alot for most viewers. Better to sell it in an
upscale place. |
10-Sep-07 |
| A: |
Thank you for
your comments, yes there are alot of
regular""" viewers on here as u call them,
but this is my main reason for this work to be sold on
ebay....no.1 it gives everyone a chance to view it, not
just what the galleries decide for us to view.. no...2 a
upscale place as you mentioned would be nice if they did
not want a third of price, and for what, selling it ( maybe)
this project took 3 years full time to build ..why are
they worth one third? no...3....sure a upscale place might
get attention from upscale persons, but remember upscale
persons don't ever visit ebay, If this listing has turned
this item into a joke well so be it, I have very good
reputable persons who would argue..... 10 years full time
as an artist , 3 large cabinets built ,.......better to
sell to the whole world....anyone..=..ebay thankyou for
your comments mark |

Hi,
I would like to direct you to a thread I started in the

| A: |
thankyou, i
have viewed thread and there is certainly a range of
different views on why this piece is listed for this
price.....no...1 ..i always pay my ebay fees, 2..yes I get
in touch with various customers around world, and 3...yes
it would be hard to part with, so is this piece for
real,,, as in it makes anyone feel emotional,,,I like to
think so yes. Mark |
| Q: |
Wow!
Not my type of "art", but I do appreciate the
time and talent to do this. I know you are joking when you
say it is worth that much. I have "real art"
that costs much less. Good luck and thank you for sharing. |
09-Sep-07 |
| A: |
thankyou for
your comments, correct ,it is not art at all , let alone
real art, until its sold, regardless of price. mark |

Surfin
the net and stumbled across this site www.Mockmickey.com
Interesting stuff then I saw the prices :o
Is this for real?

Interesting
work........but I wonder if the zero key on his keyboard is a bit
sticky
26th
Mar 2007, 11:46 AM
maybe
he just does not really want to sell his work unless....
then again some high priced stuff might just establish his artworks.

Let's
all chip in and buy the 'Wicked Lady' cabinet for Ruffly. It will only
be about $45 000 each.............. and free postage.

well,
if someone will buy it..why not charge that much?
hope he gets customers cos they look awesome!
28th

I
wonder if he actually has sold anything for those prices. At least in
one regard it seems to be working marketing wise. We wouldn't be
visiting his site otherwise.

This
Master's work was displayed last year at the Wood show in Brisbane.
Majorly OUTSTANDING work. I could have stood there for hours taking in
all the work on his masterpieces.
Once you see the pieces in person, the prices are pretty realistic,
IMHO.
Carry - free postage would be correct :D
Tell
him he's dreaming
Thats some serious work, and a SERIOUS price tag :oo: :iagree:
Gorgeous
piece of work from an artistic perspective.
It's highly amusing to see how deftly you exposed the under belly of
the E-bay consumer.
*If it is not or does not appear undervalued they don't want it.*
And the pretentious nature of the art community:
If the Sultan of Brunei bought one then Micheal Jackson and Britney
Spears would want one as well.

Q:

viewer who thought ......... what if spiders were not spiders
at all......kind regards and thanks for comments, Mark

|
|
Q:
|
Think
your work is truly one of a kind. Cant believe peoples
comments. The one calling you a dork is obviously mentally
defected or he still lives in his parents basement and is
probably 50 years old. Telling people to kill them selves is
fuc*ed up and it still wont make you anything but a trash
talking, time wasting loser.
|
12-Oct-07
|
|
|
A:
|
ha
i have to laugh as gee ,people will want to message him soon.
he may be 50,in a basement.lol. thankyou for comments you have
written on my artwork, Kind regards, Mark
|
|
|
|
Q:
|
Must
be pretty easy to trash talk when you live in your parents'
basement. Seriously, how much time did you waste making that
piece of junk? Now that you dropped the price 95% it looks
like you might not be able to afford the full-scale Lord of
the Rings play set. That said, two things are certain about
you -- 1)you suck at art and 2) you have no business
intelligence whatsoever. So maybe killing yourself doesn't
look so bad afterall....you fncking dork.
|
12-Oct-07

|
A:
|
number
1 , i dont live in basement and a long time. cant afford it
hey, you had a big mouth , cmon nows ya chance i did drop
price and u never bid, . Thats it hey no business sense,
otherwise I wouldnt be even considering letting this product
start at this price. am doing a favour to all, d--khead. let
it be known that mockmickey would have let this piece go for a
song........ so ya finish watching now .yes you can ring again
if ya want, got me must be some time wasters out there with no
money, and yeah its easy talkin to someone who isnt going to
buy it. Mark - mockmickey

Q:

will that hurt . what a fool. still to dear. like other
comments read....kindly kill yourself

11-Oct-07

A:
|
yes
correct it did hurt me and will if gets bidded on. but least i
am showing the world what jokers there are here, and that i am
also resonable person and not a scumbag with a huge mouth.
this piece is worth more so........let it be known, mockmickey
gave all a chance to get this item for a song......and what ya
think it will be better if i am dead, and you now only have
about 5 hours left, Mark
