I took low-quality digital photos of well-known and costly artworks in auction houses on my cell phone, and sold individual digital copies of photos on eBay for 99 cents.  I then took screen caps of the listings, and made them into silkscreen prints, drawings, and digital prints.  The screen prints, drawings and digital prints will be sold in at price points, based on how many copies a piece have, how easily those copies could be made, the level of involvement of the artist’s hand, the choice of material and framing of a piece, and where those pieces will be sold.
