(Dr. Evil pinky at corner of mouth)
This guy has an interesting approach to selling his paintings:

If you search by price descending (Star Wars), he'll always come up at the top. Notice that he has a Best Offer button, and look at his auction history. He sells these million dollar paintings for $100 to $500 a pop. Something about perceived value I guess.
