NFT in the shape of a trash can worth up to 250,000 USD

The news that an artist in Los Angeles, USA, who goes by the stage name Robness, creates and sells impressive NFTs of trash cans worth up to $250,000, attracting attention from the community.

According to this artist’s share, he downloaded images on the Internet. Then he created and added impressive visual images and named these NFTs 64 Gallon Toter. They are then offered for sale on the NFT SuperRare platform.

Although this image was posted online a few years ago, it was deleted due to suspicion of copyright infringement. Sharing about this, Robness said:

“I uploaded it but it was deleted. They thought I was infringing copyright by taking Home Depot’s photos and threatened to take legal action against me”

Therefore, he also felt very surprised when these images reappeared two years later. According to the explanation from SuperRare, before that, the community did not consider it a work of art, but over time “many things have changed” and their views have also been adjusted. That is also the reason that the trash can images with the impressive effect of Robness appear.

After the news that the NFT trash bin was interested and reached a value of up to 250,000 USD, the market also gradually appeared a lot of works that tended to copy it. Therefore, many collectors have decided to contact the author to learn about the origin of the work. Sharing about this meeting, Robness said:

“It was one of three NFT trash cans on SupeRare and I sold it to this collector. We talked for about 30-45 minutes about the funny story surrounding it. He laughed all the time and wanted to collect the painting, so I made a bid.”

Change your life thanks to NFT

With the sale of NFT for $250,000, Robness’ life seemed to have completely changed. Because before that, he used to work all kinds of jobs to make a living, and even around 2014, this author still had to live in a car. The income from NFT works has made this artist’s life more stable and comfortable..

This trash can NFT work is also the best example that accurately reflects this market: Many works that are controversial with the community for their artistic value are sold at very high prices.

Previously, a Singaporean model posted her NFT collection on OpenSea. Zhao’s NFT collection is worth up to $6.8 million.

Or like an Indonesian student who also became an Internet phenomenon in January, after deciding to turn 933 of his selfie photos into NFT and then put them on the exchange and earned 1 million USD.
