Will you still be laughing if someone buys it at that price? Or will you join that group of late-discovered artists who want a cut of the sales of their early works at current prices.

That's a serious question for Inuit artists who see their works sold for hundreds of times their original price... and maybe for blues artists who sold now famous songs for $25 to buy food. It certainly opens a can of worms.
