It seems to me that "pay what you like" changes everything as I'd think it would be pretty hard to find a stock ecommerce solution that will allow the buyer to set the price. This may be another reason to look at Annamarie's solution, or a variation on that which would be to add a generic PayPal "donation" button and just tell people to specify which day's drawing they want to buy (or they could just make a donation without buying a drawing). If we're talking about sales of one or two drawings a month it's not worth putting a lot of work into the system, or much money, and it's easy enough to handle making manual updates to say that a given drawing has been sold. The part about scanning and printing at Pivot fits with what I said: it's not cheap in either time or money to create good reproductions.

They do beautiful work, and she thinks their prints look better than her originals. Unfortunately, that costs her way more than she wants to sell them for. Affordability, accessibility, and just getting them out there are at the top of her list of goals. I think she'd be happy to sell one a month.
