It's a good idea and one that I've been considering - what makes it is a
large matte so the cost of framing is steep. I note John Lind's comments
about archival quality but most buyers of cheaper prints aren't so fussy -
basic black glazed frame, cheap, lightly textured white/off white matte
board and a little note on the back saying "prolonged exposure to direct
sunlight may cause fading or colour changes." You're not selling to museums
and it'll go into the attic/trash/garage sale within ten years or so -
betcha.
Places that sell small pieces of rare meat on top of a puck of flavoured
mash in the middle of a huge plate would be best. One I was in a couple of
nights back had one dish with 'flying fish roe' on the side. Catch them
with a shotgun, I suppose. (I had the char-grilled kangaroo fillet on
beetroot mash!)
