To mass produce a product is also the only way some people
can afford beautiful art to enjoy. But when you say its not art your

deem what is art and what isn't?

No, just that my definition of art does not include mass produced
factory products. Mass production is commodity production done by
loborers. It was not created by an artist or craftsman The factory
product may very well be beautiful but that does not make it art. My
definition of art is that the work is made or crafted by the artist. If
you want to call that snobbish so be it.

There must some positive aspect to the auctions or they wouldn't be a
popular as they are.

Sure. It is positive for the cruise line and the auction company. They
reap a nice profit from items that are cheap to produce. Popularity
doesn't prove anything in itself. As PT. Barnum used to say, there is a
sucker born every minute.
