That's kind of the point. I've tried selling art in a public space before and you have people approach it, and give their idea of what the price should be. They don't know anything about it or how it was made (most of the time..), but they have a sense a what they want to pay anyway.

I also see this strange thing happen where if the same originals and prints are shown together, people will treat them as one. They're more likely to buy a print, because the original looks so expensive in comparison and they forget that it's the original.

The answer you gave it pretty good though.
