That's quite clever. I like it so much... I just bid on it.

Nice! If you win, monitor the Ethernet port and let us know what it does.

Awesome, keep us posted!

Will do! I reasoned this way: if I win it won't be the most rash ebay purchase I've ever made (I'm still paying slip fees on THAT one) because a) I'm curious about its workings (as apowell mentioned I'll definitely monitor its traffic) and b) I can actually see significance in it as a work of art - though of course, if I do win it I probably won't get to keep it long and c) if I do win it I can choose the price at which it's next listed; that price is going to be more than $2500. d) this is going to be fun.

There's a decent chance I shall be outbid, though.

I was under the impression that if it re-lists itself then it will always list at the same price - $2500.

Upon purchasing the Artwork, Collector may establish a new value for the Artwork. The new value may not exceed current market expectations for the Artwork based on the current value of work by the Artist. This value may be reassessed quarterly.

Thanks, well spotted.

I wonder how this is achieved? Perhaps there is an eBay account username and password that goes with the sale.
