The original one that ruined his relationship with Megan. If he was going to draw one specifically to sell I would request a picture of Chris double fisting Barb.

Why was the Buy it Now at 100 but now its being bid on for over 200?

Because weens.

But in all seriousness, I bet he WOULD draw the most disgusting things if people were going to pay him. Start a list. I bet he does it.

That depends on the buyer themselves, the majority of the time the payment would be made before the object is sent off, yes. But y'know, :stupid:

As for fake bids, I'm not sure if Chris can then sell the item onto the second highest bidder.

I've got a lot of experience on ebay. You do not get in trouble if you do not pay for a winning bid, and you do not get your feedback affected. A few years ago, ebay removed the option of sellers leaving negative feedback for buyers. Many sellers would use the threat of negative feedback to extort a higher shipping price from buyers or make other unreasonable demands.

If you develop a history of winning auctions and refusing to pay, then ebay may take action. But trust me, there will be NO fucking repercussions at all upon the buyer who fails to pay Chris when he wins this prestigious auction of fine artwork.

Chris can indeed attempt to sell the artwork to the next highest bidder when the winner refuses to pay, but that bidder will also be a ween.

Just on a whim, I looked up eBay and income taxes, and now I'm curious as to how much art Chris would be able to produce before he would have to legally declare the profit as income. I mean, I know he'd never make that much art or money, but just kinda curious about it.

The tax laws regarding an online auction site are a bit fuzzy. If you just throw a couple of old models and a violin on eBay, you're fine. The IRS doesn't recognize this as a business. While you're technically supposed to declare all assets earned in a year (and yes, this extends to cash), there's no financial record as Paypal doesn't issue a form 1099 until a person has over $20,000 in their Paypal account. The IRS isn't going to go after somebody for failing to declare a couple of eBay auctions unless you're selling things like Russian submarines (which, yes, has happened. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_submarine_K-77#eBay)

Now, if you start buying old cars, restoring them, and then putting them up for auction, you're essentially running a business and the IRS can hold your feet to the fire on it.

Now, here's the sticky area. Chris is creating work specifically for the intent of making a profit. These aren't old Sonichu books rescued from the fire. It's things he's actively making and selling. Now, one auction isn't going to do anything to Chris. If he starts churning these out and making a profit on them, however, then they should be declared as earnings.

But I've got no worries about that happening, because Chris is only going to sell a couple of these, max. Mostly likely to Kengle.

Seriously? The only time any artwork from Chris is worth anything is when there's some sort of history attached to it like the infamous Shecameforcwc.jpg. He can crap one of these boring pieces out on about 10 minutes for fuck sake.

Anybody buying anything from Chris ironically doesn't realise that the jokes on them.

So you're saying this thing WON'T appreciate like a Lichtenstein? Well, I'm canceling MY bid.

One more ebay question: How exactly does the "buy it now" work? What does it mean that the bids have surpassed it? At what point could someone have bought the picture for the buy it now price while avoiding the auction?

if he has a copy of Earthbound he could sell it and easily make $100 - $120 for it, I can confirm I have a copy of it, bought it for $70, and someone is offering me $100 for it.

If he plays his cards right he stands to make more money here than anyone else off his creations. That must be a kick in the side to a real artist.

It is, actually. Considering most artists I know who have struggled with trying to get a commission worth around $50 have much better skills than Chris.

Then again, most of them aren't infamous manchildren, either, so there's that.
