I sell my prints in limited edition of 50 ( the highest I got so far is 5 of the same print :-) ), signed and numbered with Certificate of Authenticity.
People love to collect things - give them something to collect ... let them gamble on you being the next Ansel Adams and make them happy thinking just got your art at a steal.
Seems to work for me - my sales are up.
Have a nice evening,

Greetings PhotoForum fans,
I've recently initiated my third photography exhibit and - lo and
behold - someone wants to buy a couple of the photos! ;) I'm very
pleased as this represents my first major sale (other than weddings),
and this sale will pretty much cover my expenses for this show.
The issue on which I'm seeking advice regards how I might now label
these photos so that I encourage additional sales. I see my options
as:
1. Not writing anything on the label, but offering up the information
that I've sold a copy of this photo if asked;
2. Writing something like "Sold; additional copies available;" (but,
this approach seems to me that it might discourage potential buyers);
3. Writing something on the label like "Thank Mr. Bill for your
purchase," which is nicer, but might have the same effect as option 2;
or,
4. What options can you all suggest that are different from the above
or reinforce the above????
I'm mostly a lurker on this site and an occasional submitter for the
Gallery, and I do enjoy reading your opinions on a variety of issues!
Thanks,
Tim!
