Should I frame my digital art prints before selling them on Ebay?

I have several digital art prints in A3 size. I have created the artwork with 3ds max7, Photoshop and FreeHand respectively. I plan to sell them on Ebay. They are printed on paper and photo-paper, Most of them professionally by a printing-house. Can I sell them without framing? Would people still buy unframed prints?

Unframed materials usually sell for less as the buyer is then responsible for matting and framing them. Most Ebay buyers I know prefer to buy framed, when they receive it they can hang it (the feeling of instant gratification). If you cannot afford basic framing, a popular form of selling "prints/photos" is to matt the print and then place it in a gallery bag (clear acetate bag). This presents the buyer with a matted print ready for their own frame, and it gives them a finished look.
