Verification revisited
As bids on NES game lot escalated I sent out this message:
Dear ewaufekhalid,
Thanks for supporting Commodites art project with your bids on Photo of - NES Nintendo Game Lot. I wanted to verify that you know this auction is for a photograph of the described games and not the games themselves. If you haven't checked out thecommodities.blogspot.com or erikdalzen.com yet please do so.
Thanks,
- *commodities*
Dear *commodities*,
i am very sorry for bidding on your item I was not aware of it being a picture. I thought it was a lot of games since de description was so accurate and you put the rarity chart too. I also increased my max bid and would l9ike to know how iI could canacel that. I'm soo sorry of biding before reading the title well and am not interested in buying a photograph. Is it possible to withdraw my bid please.
- ewaufekhalid

Dear ewaufekhalid,
You have to initiate the process if your bid was in error. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?RetractBidShow or maybe someone will just outbid you who actually wants it.

And while ewaufekhalid was outbid I'm afraid it wasn't for the best...

Up to speed
I have recently undergone a couple of those major life changing events and have been rather occupied over the last couple of months. Commodities has been neglected in that time. However, things have calmed down a bit and new listings are to follow shortly. But to get the blog up to speed, a past critic and a new one emailed me during the Polaroid Type 55 auction:
Dear *commodities*,
I read your blog, I prefer excitement/bidding on actual items, thank you. As expected you're already canceling bids from those duped. Wasting other's time with misleading ads, I doubt that's your intent. But like the self-indulgent who tag an overpass, forcing their work upon anyone who drives that road, this kind of thing robs the viewer of the ability to be a WILLFUL participant in the art process. What of those who do not want to participate, isn't that abuse? In the end you may excite select friends and associates, teachers, whomever you made privy to what you are up to. As for the rest, you will simply reinforce in MOST minds the notion that art is stupid, mundane, and an irritant to be avoided. No wonder the arts are under attack financially and their place questioned. FYI, I use polaroid 55..with my art background your message is lost on me because its forced + the distraction merely ads to my day's clutter. *When art has nothing to say at what point does it become meaningless?
- tios_corner
Dear *commodities*, (later that same day)
Maybe this is more a problem of venue. This may be more successful in a different setting, perhaps a private auction where participants can willingly elect to participate. It just evokes a negative reaction in me as you have this structured currently. Especially at a time in our post-modern society where so much about the arts is being attacked in our centers of government and the courts, I think we need to be careful not to alienate. So many voices all vying to be heard, if the message has the appearance of being forced it can be enough to turn the heart and mind against it.

Hi
You seem to be getting a lot of negative comments from ignorant people, so thought I'd email you to say that this is a really interesting project, very nicely thought out. I particularly liked your CV style list of previous and current exhibitions.
all the best

Question II regarding Polaroid Type 55 Pos/Neg 4x5 Film Unopened 6/06
Q: I have a degree in art and this is THEE most retarded art 'thing' I've ever seen on ebay. I will be sure to avoid this erik jackass's supposed "work" with all haste as life is too short to waste time on something like this that says absolutely nothing. Just plain stupid. You should be embarrassed for selling this and so should your boy erik.
A: Congratulations on getting an art degree! The eloquence of you critique speaks volumes to the caliber of your education. Further your knowledge at thecommodities.blogspot.com.

Q: do you have a photo of the back
A: A photo of the back of the photograph or the back of the quarter? The answer to either is no. Just to clarify though this auction is for a photograph of the quarter and not the quarter itself. Thanks for your interest. Happy bidding.

Question regarding Antique Diamond Wedding Set Old Mine Cut 14K Gold
Q: why are you selling a picture listed under wedding rings. Why not under art. This is misleading. Especially if someone doesn't read every word on your description. Why mention the size of the ring and other characteristics.
A: This is part of a larger art project. The listing is in fact listed under art as well as wedding rings. One reason being, that the project is intended to be exhibited outside of an art context. Additionally, by blurring the lines between the object and the image it questions the role of photography in our culture as well as consumerism. Even with that said, I do endeavor to be quite explicit in stating that the auction is for a photograph and not, in this case, a wedding set. I appreciate your concern and apologize for any confusion this may have caused. If you would like to learn more about the project please visit, erikdalzen.com
