One Hundred Thousand Dollar Offer
As the title of this article states my artwork has earned an offer of $100,000.00! How exciting, you may think, how wonderful Clyde you’ve made it to the big time! Let’s put the breaks on the enthusiasm and excitement. I’ll tell you a story about NFT’s that's Non-Fungible-Tokens. Go to Google and type that in to learn all about them. I am not going to begin to explain NFT’s to you here. It makes my brain hurt just thinking about them!
Sometime in the middle of May, I started to receive messages via Instagram offering to buy my artwork as NFT’s. In the beginning, I always replied with not available. I don’t offer any of my artwork as NFT’s. Then the messages got really crazy! Below is a sampling, the text is original.
(I’m really interested in buying your amazing works of yours as Nft for $10,000 each, will you mind selling for me?)
(I’m ready to offer you $3.000 each for these magnificent arts, am pretty much interested in buying them.)
(I will buy each art for $15000 as NFT)
(I’m interested in these four as NFTs I’m offering 4 ETH($7300) for each of them. Reasonable enough?)

(5 of your artworks are of great interest to me and my business associates, I want to make an offer $100.000.00 for them as digital artworks NFTs.)
Are you excited? Well, such offers got me thinking, maybe I should offer some of my artwork in the NFT format. So I began to investigate and watch videos on YouTube. I soon discovered that there is a thing called “gas fees” and these could run as high as 300 – 400 dollars per NFT. I mentioned this to one of the messengers and here was the response.
(You’re required to pay for gas fee in order for me to purchase your artwork successfully and if you do pay for it I won’t be able to purchase your artwork. This is how we work; you’ll send photos of the artworks you want to sell, then you need to pay gas fee so my team can digitize and advertise your work with top speed to the top via Opensea,gas fee varies.)
Oh brother, what now? In part two of this article, I’ll explain what I discovered and the wonderful solution.
