Received my prototype bitpic the other day and I have to say the quality is much higher then I expected. The print which i assume (with my limited knowledge) is anodized is fascinating. The photos on here do not do these things justice! Definitely an interesting collectible to add to the collection!

Thanks Og

Thank you for the kind words.  Honestly though, the new supplier for the bitpics is much higher quality than the one I used for the prototypes.  This #2 bitpic came out particularly gorgeous.

As for the interest in the metal print itself, it should be noted that they are similar to photographs where you are warned that prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lighten the image.

varying based on the size of the bitpic.

Just noticed that part, how many sizes are planned? Is 8x10" the largest?

Currently, I have plans to do 8x10 & 5x7 prints in both portrait and landscape orientation.  There are some unique options available, but they get pricey.  With the design artist and photography costs, as well as manufacturing/engraving/loading/supplies/packaging/shipping costs, these prints cost me around $90 each to make/ship.  If I were to start adding options like floating double prints or special frames, these could easily get up above $500 each...  If there's someone out there who would like something more expensive and custom, I'd certainly be willing to work with them.  These prints aren't cheap though.  The only reason I'm allowing them to sell at the current auction prices is because I haven't yet gotten the store linked to bitpic.org so they can be purchased at retail prices.  I think the more people that see these finished prints in person, the more popular they will become.

Auction ends in a few hours.  This one really is a beauty.  My favorite so far.  I believe whoever wins it will be very satisfied.  I'd bid on it myself if it wouldn't cause a controversy.
