One didn't sell at the price of $233.50 (over twice its original price) Because it didn't meet reserve. The $350 has no bids with 2+ days to go. The 3rd one has 2+ days to go and is currently bid up to $228.01 The first one didn't sell because it wasn't an "viewed as an investment" or because of lack of interest (it had 11 bids), it didn't sell because the owner appeared to be holding out for big money. Personally, I see Ebay sales as getting recognition for the artists, allowing people who couldn't be at the event a chance to receive one, and perhaps get the mug in collectors hands that appreciate it as art, investment, and a prized piece to their collection.
