It is called "White Center." It just sold as Sotheby's for a mere 72 million dollars. Later, QD.

I don't understand art like that. I don't see what's so great about it and why someone in their right mind would pay $72 MILLION dollars for that thing. I wouldn't pay $20 at Wal-Mart for that. Anyone care to englighten me?

But seriously though, with all the artwork flying around, you could buy a painting at a garage sale for like $5 and hang it up in your house and say that it cost you $20k, and no one will ever know your lying, as long as it's a good painting.

With a classic car, you can't fake the funk ;) ...

Yea but how many art collectors do you know?;)

ANYONE can look at a classic car and they automatically know that it's worth a lot, even if your not into that kind of stuff.

Not trying to bash you in any way, just trying to make a point that different things can be of different values to different people. Still, $72 million is quite a bit to pay for a canvas with colors on it.

Notice the 18 is in green colored font. Notice the rep boxes to your right are green in color as well. Notice that my reps are worth 18 points. Now add those scenarios together. Later, QD.
