Didn't verify information, seems like a crappy rather than a reltiable site, but it could be interesting piece of information.
Some prices paid seem totally insane

The one by D. Medvedev (President of Russia) was bought by russian oligarch. I can understand the price in this case <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

On a Norwegian photography site there was a discussion about a picture by a Norwegian photographer sold for one million NOK (just belos 173000 USD). The site was supposed to be able to show the picture, but it hasn't happened yet, so a couple of us decided to sell pictures our selves for that price. Here is mine: https://plus.google.com/u/0/104806363992194684606/posts/dcXDcW71n8F
Why not <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />Feel free to buy it, there will be only one print ever made! And it will be signed of course.

:-) :-) I like this - only one print will be made. With today tochnology how can you assure that nobody copy it. Or even more - published it for free download.
How funny look like now Edward Weston. He scraped some negatives to protect himself from not autorized copies.

True true. There will be contract drawn of course, so there's that. No idea how else to do it. One could encrypt the raw file and make the password with letters chosen by both the buyer and me, then delete the original file after. But I could have copied it, so one can never be sure.
