    So, I've been reading this ongoing debate about websites vs.
    galleries, and what I don't understand is why an artist would list a
    product on their website for sale, if it is for sale somewhere else. 
    If a piece is on a website, but physically on display at a gallery,
    why not just caption the picture with information on the gallery it
    is being sold at?  Alternatively, list items that are for sale on the
    website but not available in any gallery. I agree that if you are
    going to place your work at a gallery for sale, it should not also be
    for sale on your website, but I'm sure many of you don't have all
    your pieces in galleries, and want your website to be a showcase for
    your work. I think there can be a very symbiotic relationship between
    the web, the artist and the gallery, as long as the agreement is
    there that pieces on display are not also for sale privately by the
    artist (or at least until the gallery is going to stop selling that
    item). 

My 2 cents.
