You did just take a snip it because the very next statement I admit that if that wasn't Ben's perspective than it just didn't come off that way. The original conversation about this photo was talking about the eye appeal prior to Ben giving his opinion. Unless the term "artsy fartsy" is a term used for collectible value.
Lance,
Of course I have sold items from my collection to pay for other things, but when I purchased it I didn't think about the day I was going to sell it (except for the times it was bought for the specific reason to flip, in those cases I buy off research not personal feelings towards the piece).
Edited to add: I am really not wanting to come off as too argumentative if everyone wants to believe Rhys is wrong for giving his opinion, then that is your opinion. I don't have a problem with an auctioneer giving an opinion even if it does come off as fluff. I read the description as an after thought of looking at the item.
