From the Captain's Log

It's a Coney Island acrylic on wood, sort of a print thing. I don't know what to call it.

Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 13-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Free pickup at the South Loop dock (recommended). Smaller pieces can ship, quoted before you pay.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Description

Here be a walk to the Wonder Wheel. A concrete ramp runs dead-center into the picture between two yellow walls, CONEY on the left and ISLAND on the right in giant red letters, with blue railings overhead and the great wheel standin’ at the far end, flags flyin’ and its “Wonder Wheel” signs lit up in red.

It’s printed straight onto a pale wood panel, and the grain of the wood shows through in the sky. A ragged, torn-paper edge runs across the top like a poster peeled off a wall. The back is cradled with pine strips, fitted with two hangin’ brackets and wearin’ a little “Made in U.S.A.” sticker, so it’s ready for the wall.

The Captain calls it a “Coney Island acrylic on wood, sort of print thing,” and that’s about right. No artist named on it.

It’s a good-sized flat panel, so free pickup at the South Loop dock is recommended. Ask about shippin’.
