A question on making some extra money

Member Posts: 168,427 ✭
I have alot of these prints stored on my computer. They are of all different themes. And I recently have tried printing these and they turn out pretty darn good as an 8x10 on proffessional grade glossy photo paper. My question is, If I framed these in antique style frames, does anyone think they would sell? I figure I would need to get about $20 each to come out on them.

maybe try photoshopping in some real faint religious figures and see how the sales go.
hhmm, where would you sell them? probably dBay or a flea market. I doubt you'd get 20 bucks for a 8x10 glossy photo, maybe if it was a large rug or something.

I would have to see about the cost of frames. That would be my largest expence.
I do know that the large wall hangings go for $70-$100 for the dogs playing poker.
I can print most anything and make it look good up to an 8.5x11. My printer does so good that I print my own photos and you can't tell that they didn't come from a developer.
You may run into trouble from the Norman Rockwell Foundation or any other family or foundation that owns the rights to the drawings.
I agree..........Copyright infringement comes to mind.......

I think you'd have a hard time getting $20 for them, regardless of how good they are. It's to easy for other folks to do the same thing themselves.
What kind of printer are you using ? It amazes me how good some of the cheaper ones are.

I am useing an epson stylus photo r200. It is a little more expensive to use because it is a 6 color system, but when printing photo's the extra colors make a big difference.
I could do some of my own prints too. I have 1 decent digital camera and am looking at another.

I saw the last one for sale not long ago, don't remember where.
This guy is an AR15 forum member and created that site to sell T-shirts for extra dough...working quite well for him.
Do the same. Make your own t-shirts, magnets, hats, and decals. Grow from that.
They have that computer printable T-shirt stuff you could use to make your own.

As a freelance writer, I'll tell you that I'd be all over your @$$ if you reproduced and sold my work without my permission and without compensation. That's nothing more than theft.
FWIW, the fines for copyright infringement can be very, very serious.
And, FWIW, I shut down auctions over at Fleabay somewhat regularly when people steal the wording from my auctions. It happens probably every three weeks, almost like clockwork.
