    I think if you are in the business of selling art, and you aren’t the type of artist who has a really serious reputation, you gotta throw a few things in your offering that are hilariously overpriced just to see if one day someone buys it. I don’t make furniture, but I do a lot of cooking and if I opened up a restaurant, I totally would put a few items on the menu that are only there to identify the people who have more money than sense. Like a burger with a gold leaf on it or something stupid like that for 500 mdollars.

      reminds me of the molecular gastronomy pb&j that is sold for like 200 dollars despite being able to remake it cheaply and easily
