1914 racing yardlong limited copies now available

[Barry Brown]

Being as you have no commas and decimal points in your price, is it a great price of $15.00, a fair price of $150.00 or a ripoff of $1,500.00?

Chris, Thanks for your astute commentary. You must have gone to grammar school. Since you appear to be impecunious I'll let you have one for $1,499.00 The way the US dollar is going I may have to change the asking price to yuan. By the way , Walmart does not sell these.

What actually is "SPECIAL GERMAN PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER " as opposed to Kodak Special Photographic Paper ?

[Mr. Big]

"Impecunious"? Now THAT is a 1500 dollar word if I ever saw one.......

killer photo!!!!!!!

[Barry Brown]

I had what is probably the best photographic house in Canada do these prints. The guy told me he can only get the top quality paper from Germany . He has an amazing setup and I was duly impressed so I entrusted the job to him. The results are impressive.
I know it probably seems outrageous but I have sold 2 already at that price and the last time I checked we were still in a capitalist system. I have plenty of other yardlongs I would be happy to copy and sell for considerably less but none of them hold a candle to this one. If you are a student of motorcycling history ( I thought we all were here) show me another more interesting race photo with such clarity and intrigue and details never before seen. I showed this to Dan Statnekov and he was blown away.
For those of you who are flummoxed by big words like Mr Big ( great name, easy to spell) I first encountered the word impecunious in a famous motorcycling history book written by a famous Californian motorcycling history authority . He would have loved this yardlong but he is sadly not with us anymore.

Your $1,500.00 price for a copy photo is simply nothing but a rip off. A$$hole$ like you who gouge people should not be allowed on these boards. That is simply my grammar school opinion. It is profiters such as yourself that have driven the prices of this sport out of the budget of the everyday working man.

chris
and your stealing ( yes I said stealing ) of photo's from the world wide web and posting them on your own personal website with a caption stating chris haynes owned is perfectly acceptable. maybe to you a grammer school educated, 2nd generation immigrant to california. people that steal should not be allowed on the world wide web

who on this forum or any other that is selling something is not making a profit - if they were making a loss I don't think they would be selling . unless they do that in califonia - sell at a loss, no wonder california needs money

barry that is a killer yardlong - would love a copy but excelsior and harley topper parts are at the front of the hobby spending list

Should'nt This be listed in "FOR SALE " not " parking lot chatter " ? This is by all means is an Ad & not a discussion on what should be charged for non Original photo copies RIGHT ? Can it be placed in the proper area?

I disagree; this is deffinately a Parking Lot Chatter topic now.

I would like to add this comment. Go to any art show and see what artists are asking, and getting for their prints, paintings, and sculptures. I think Barry's picture is a work of art so I look at it in that context.
