Ali-Artwork.com anybody see the commercial?
 
I have been seeing this commercial on Smithsonian channel for Muhammad Ali signed artwork. There are several different pictures and all are limited editions. The commercial says you can get $100 off each picture. But when you go to the site they still won't mention a price. I'm sure these must be astronomical! Anyone call to get a price?

I don't see any artwork actually signed by ali in here - is this the right site?

No, here is the website http://ali-artwork.com/ but like I said, no prices you have to call.

I always feel when I see an ad or website that says call for prices, their prices are so high that they are ashamed of them :D.

Or the prices are so high they are relying on a hard sales pitch to close the deal. Once someone calls they are 2/3s of the way there and they'll have a harder time saying "no" to a live person.

I think so too, but I am tempted to call to see how ridiculous it is. Just wondered if anyone else had already done it.

I volunteer on Tuesdays at a long time art gallery where they have had 'call' pieces, and will ask when that was done. They had a 'call' sculpture, I asked out of curiosity and an employee told me the price ($8,000). Usually, all pieces have a price tag for all to see, and in fact that particular prices had other (cheaper) works with prices viewable . . . . I have nothing to do with the setting of prices, so I don't know other than call pieces are the most expensive. It may be that they're so expensive and only people or organizations with lots of money are serious buyers that there is inevitable financial logistics and negotiations are involved.
