> I had to do some research to see if it's ever been successful. It hasn't.

You failed at your research. In art, this is quite common. As an artist gains notoriety, their work goes up in price. How much do you think Picasso sold his early works for? How much do you think Picasso paintings are worth now?

Also, Minecraft started out cheap and got more expensive over time.

That's completely different. You're talking about a single piece of art gaining value over time as it's bought and sold. What's happening here is the price of all remaining logos increases as sales on any other logo happen.

No, artist will commonly price a collection this way to show there's a market and get buyers to act sooner that later. It's assumed that not all of the logos will sell, and some if not all may have been versions of another logo.

I am NOT talking about a single piece of art gaining value over time.

I'm talking that I sell one painting for $10k, and the next for $15k, and eventually I'm selling a painting for $1m.

condescendence's point is not that there is nothing in the world which goes up in value over time.

[joemi]

Better not try to make condescendence's argument with any collectors.

Why? I guess you parsed inputcoffee's confusing multiple negations wrong?

Google AdWords seems to work the same way too.
