I'm not trying to be critical, but it just doesn't really make sense to me. Is there any real worth in a forgery? Why do some (not all) people charge insanely high prices just for people to come and buy their fake art? Maybe it's just the ACNH servers I am in, but it still doesn't make sense to me.

Why do people sell fake art?

Its worth is entirely up to the people who want it.
In addition to some forgeries being haunted, some people like using the fake art for types of decorating. Like in my NL town, I had a government-type office where I made a back storage room of "confiscated" fake art.

Some are hunted and some look really cool! I have a haunted Rosetta Stone - it's blue and glows in the dark!

at night the art does strange things, like the fake scary painting i posted only smiles at night
I love what they did to fake art in this game. They're much more interesting (and funny) than in previous games. They're fun to decorate with and I personally want to collect one of each haunted variant.

I buy fakes sometimes because they're hilarious like the robust statue with the watch, or the glow in the dark informative statue. They're fun to put around your island, and some like others have said are haunted which is cool.

Graceful paining flips sides, Wistful Painting closes their eyes, that statue that resembles a robot will fluctuate...

I do agree that a lot of the fake art looks really good in this game. I definitely want to collect it for my own purposes some day. But ya unfortunately a lot of people do want to make a ton of money for just letting you pop over and talk to Redd. I mean I do agree with tipping and being reasonably grateful to hosts but some people are just selfish. Part of what aggravates me about SO much of this game being online-play-centric. Well that and I'm a bit of a single-player type person pfft.

I don't remember which statue it is, but there's one that floats in the air! :O

One part of me wants to finish my museum, and another side of me wants to litter areas of my island with goofy statues.

It's the ancient statue that floats! It's really cool

Literally me. I want to finish my museum but am partly making an outdoor art gallery to display the funny fakes. Some of the fakes still look really good!

Like anything, if people are willing to pay high prices for things others will sell those things for high prices.

Hahaha same! My museum is decorated with bug and fish models as well as fossils. Now there's suddenly fake art there too because it's too cool hahaha
