Tobacco Pipes Still LIfe Oil Painting: Should I sell on e-bay?

Greetings pipe lovers! I've got something to show you that could be a perfect fit for any pipe enthusiast's  smoke-room! Many years ago when I was a young pipe smoker, I painted a "still life" of pipes in oil. Fast forward to 2011, this pipes painting is hanging on my wall in a beautiful frame and I'm thinking it's time to sell it! You should know, Artists don't like to hold on to their own work very long!

Don't get me wrong! I do like it very much as a pipe smoker! It is beautifully framed! This painting of tobacco pipes looks good just about anywhere it hangs! I just don't want my own work! Simple as that!

I was thinking of putting this pipes painting on e-bay. Not something I would do generally...particularly not of most of the oil paintings, portraits, and fine art pieces I've done! This tobacco pipes still-life painting just doesn't hang well with the rest of my work and is a "stand alone" piece. That is why I'm open minded about selling it through more unconventional means.

What do you think? Should I sell it on e-bay? I will only do it if I can see that there is interest about it namely with the pipe smokers.So then I ask my readers:  Do you like this painting? Would you hang this on your wall?  Have I chosen the wrong means to find interested buyers for this tobacco pipes oil painting? I would love to hear your feedback!

Also for you fellow tobacco pipe smokers, you can find me on youtube by following this link:
