Thanks! I figured there was a good reason, but it isn't really explained in the descriptions and I (sadly) missed the actual party!

I'm not sure why the shipping is so high but maybe it's because the images are printed directly on glass (and thus are ready-to-hang and don't need a traditional frame) and need to be shipped more carefully?

This is the info on the printing process:

It does look very slick in person - all shiny and wet and vivid.

Are the items framed? Why is the shipping so high?

I hope it's okay if I post the link to the items for bidding? A couple of people had mentioned not being able to find where to bid on them...
