An excellent Usagi print that no one seems to want????????

Dear Readers,
Acquiring a few of the rare Usagi Belgium prints (signed by Sensei Sakai and limited to 25 only) I figured people would buy these like hot cakes!
Is it because I listed it on April Fools Day?
Is it because people do not know about these prints?
Is $50 USA + postage an extreme price?
The price in Belgium is $60 plus postage, etc. if you could get one.
I love my print and I thought others would be excited to get one.
Would someone please explain why no one is bidding?
Thank you ahead of time for any insights.
Best wishes to all,
go

Is there a picture of the Belgium print in the Dojo website?

ps. I forgot to ask:
Is there a picture of the Belgium print in the Dojo website?
If I type in a search for "Belgium" there is no correct match.
Thanks again for all of the fun!
Best wishes,
go

1) The picture quality isn't great. I'm not talking about the print, but the actual image you have posted. You should show the full print with the Sakai signature and limited edition number. Plus, it looks like there are 3 creases next to Spot.
Just my opinion.

This is a very nice print and the publisher took pains to make it as identical to the original art as he could. It was even published the same size as the original.

I wasn't saying the print was bad. I was suggesting that he could take a better photo and repost it. A potential buyer would like to see the signature and limited number.
Too lazy to log in...

I would love to buy one of those Belguim prints for my collection, but $50.00 is a bit steep at the moment... and cash is a little bit scarcer....
and I really hate trying to buy anything on e-bay... Maybe, later on, I might be able to afford it, and we can make a deal...
Abayo,
Steve

I wasn't commenting on what you wrote. It looks like we just posted at about the same time.
Thank you!

Dear Readers,
Thank very much you for the feedback on my auction.
I am looking for a better picture since the current photo is poor.
Is there a photo anywhere on line?
I really appreciate your comments.
Thank you especially to Sensei Sakai for all of the fun!
Best wishes to all,
go

Nothing on the Dojo, Go. The print would be difficult for me to scan due to the size...

You want to use the image of the actual piece that's for sale, not
a generic image of the print. Sorry that there's not too much interest.

Hey Gordon!
I saw your post and realized that I had agreed to buy one of your prints. Originally I thought that $50.00 might have been a little steep, but you and I have been buying and trading and chatting for some time now, and I knew you had a cool piece of art to sell. In any case, I have been flying to and from Chicago for business and generally super busy with day to day stuff..... and ....I forgot. If it is still available, I am still interested.
My deepest apologies.
-Erik
Yes, I still have a Belgium print for sale.

I would be interested in buying the print if I could SEE it. My computer won't load the image, and I'm not familiar with the print in question. I know of two, and know that one was not particularly high on my list to buy but that the other was. If it's the one I want to buy, I'd be MORE than happy to pay $50 for it. Can anyone give me a link to a "different" picture online? I can't load the image on the ebay page.
Oh, yeah, and sorry for having been away so long. Heh.
College.
Busy.
rare print.
