Elmo Oil Painting for $12000000?

Wow, I have found the most expensive Muppet related item ever, on ebay. An oil painting of Elmo(item 200422214793) for US$12,000,000.00! For that much money, I am sure that if you went to Sesame Workshop, that they would sell you an actual Elmo.Fancy thinking that someone would buy it.The only ones smiling would be ebay.just imagine the insert fee that ebay would charge for the listing price, regardless if it sells.

Ick, and it isn't really that amazing. lol

Do you have a link to this specific item? Because out of curiosity, I checked eBay, and I found an Elmo oil painting, but at a more reasonable $123 (lol), and not no $12,000,000 like you've claimed.

Well, you see it wasn't the "Elmo" or the artistry that made it so high - it was the oil. We all know how out of control the price of oil has become!

You searched ebay stores.This one is the general auction search.Either type in Elmo painting at the main search place or click on advance search and type in the item number 200422214793.It looks like a standing FP doll.

I dont seem to be that good at doing ebay links but I will give it a try...

Okay, that worked.

All I have to say is this - is that guy drunk or something?

That looks more like a Microsoft Paint project than anything else!

Wow that's crazy,

IF this was a well established famous artist, the price would maybe justified... if he was just a local artist, the painting shouldn't even be over 10 thou at the MOST. Really... you could steal a famous Painting and sell it to a fence for less than that. Theoretically, of course... It's an okay work, but I don't wanna look at an artistically rendered 10 dollar plush Elmo.

Check this one out:

Its a messed up Teddy Ruxpin!

Almost as messed up as the doll itself!

It looks a little bit like tickle me elmo!

Perhaps it was meant to be $12.000,000,00 and the seller got a little confused?

If you look at all the things he has sold in the past, they are essentially the same thing, but none are really over $50... Maybe you just have to make an offer and he will accept anything.

It seems the price has been adjusted to $200. Maybe it was a mistake before.

I have to disagree with some of you. THIS is an AMAZING piece of art. Its an oil painting of an Elmo doll.. not the actual Elmo. Its listed as "teddy" so dont ignore that.

It's not bad at all, I think... just... the guy has a lot of crust to think that his work is worth 12 mil. I know the price of oil based paint and accessories (you have to use turpentine, not water... I never liked doing oils for that reason) is ridiculous (trust me), but for 12 mil, Rembrant had better have painted it.

That said, if anyone REALLY wants to have a picture of Elmo, I could give you one for a buck maybe... j/k. Mine isn't even worth THAT much.
