I am not that dumb. In fact I am staggered by you thinking that I am.
I know that paintings are worth more than just materials. When I valued that painting at $1000 I did not mean that only materials cost $1000. Both materials and work hours making it are included in that price. And it does not matter $1000 or $1500 etc, it is still not 46 million.
How to determine real value of "painting" like this - go buy materials and draw something like that. See if you sell it for even $2000.
People are overpaying because this "painting" is made by famous artist long time ago, while "painting" itself is not worth more than thousand(s).
If you take a dump and try to sell your shit people will pay $0.
If Michael Jackson takes a dump and tries to sell his shit people will pay $10 or $100 or whatever.
That does not change the fact that your shit and MJ's shit is shit and both worth $0.
I am staggered that I have to explain further. Although not so much as I am used to you not getting the point.
