The beauty of selling prints is that they're like printing money. Once one is gone the artist, or estate, or gallery, can just print some more. You can still by Rembrandt etchings that are real Rembrandt etchings, printed just yesterday from the actual blocks Rembrandt carved centuries ago. They're all just as real as the ones Rembrandt printed and there's an infinite supply if you want more.

My point is that you shouldn't feel bad about offering the gallery or EBay seller half. Professional art sellers think anyone who buys a print is stupid, so they treat print buyers with contempt. That's why their prices are so high and they don't like to advertise that they come down. They have room to move. They just figure that if you're doing business with them you're not savvy enough to drive a hard bargain. Offer a quarter of their asking price. They may act offended but they won't be.
