Sheesh, I just wish they would make more than 50.

Personally, I think that the ideal for artists/manufacturers is to do a limited run for the really anal collectors, and a less limited run that enables the object to be available to those that really want it but either can't get to the sale event or don't want to jump through hoops to get said object. By all means, create a special signed edition of 50/100 to be sold only to those that are there on the day, but why not make another 200 less exclusive versions for those that love the design, but are not dealers or those that can make it on the night?

Surely the artist would prefer to see their work go out to a larger appreciative audience than a motley contingent of eBay profiteers and lunatics with sleeping bags and expensive mug collections? And the manufacturers certainly know the cost of making them goes down the more they make. Surely this benefits everyone?
