Has anyone ever had picture sellers knock their door ?

They've been out years and I used to sell them in th 80's when I was at Uni. There were pics. of lions, landscapes and disney characters etc. They were etchings on foil. Somebody knocked my door the other day selling them and I was shocked that people are still buying them after all these years. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Answers:
They have moved on a bit round here, now they knock on your door asking if you want to buy a picture of your house taken from an airplane.
we have forgein students occasionally, with prices scribbled on bits of paper
A guy tried to sell me some at work around 3 years ago. I was working in a shop.
Oh my god they are selling that Cr4p. They also used to sell lion and tigers. Oh and there was that real naff one of a young girl reading a book she had a brown dog.
Some foreign student tried to sell me some paintings once, I felt really guilty turning him away, cos it was pouring with rain at the time
I had a Polish girl at my door selling paintings,It was frosty and she was freezing, I gave her £15 for quite a good pencil drawing of a horse & foal.
When I was in the previous house I was offered the famous or infamous "TINA" I think it was bottle green and there was a girl in it from Malaya. QUITE REVOLTING
In California there is almost never anyone knocking on doors selling anything anymore. I'm so glad. What a pain. I've never heard of what you are talking about.
Yep. Last year actually, oil paintings door to door. I felt bad turning him away, they were beautiful, all of scenery, but what a way to make a living! Expensive too, $150 ea.. ouch!
I was surprised to see him, like you, hadnt thought such a thing existed since the 80's LOL!
