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).

but THAT "painting" (is it really a cake?) IS worth more than $XXXX, as evidenced by the fact someone paid more than $XXXX for it. You could just as easily have used the book or cd or dvd or slippers or microwave ovens or cars or...... and so on, it makes no sense as an analogy, and is a really crap story as well
ps
I know I've been very douchey in this thread with my replies, but this whole thread is just a wide open, glaring invitation for douchey replies. Don't take it personally, I'm in a douchey mood today, and have yet to douche out, so to speak
pps above is a long-winded way of saying I act like a cunt sometimes, and today is one of those times
