<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 36576, member: 37&quot;]At my local auction, most of this kind of thing goes for a few dollars. If there are two people who want it, it might top out at $15.00. Much nicer paintings go for around $25.00. I have never seen a piece of artwork go higher than that. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is indicative of how little the locals (dealers included) care or know about art. Makes for a good buying environment but tough for selling. In the two+ years I have had local shop space, I don&#039;t think I have sold a piece of art for $100.00 or more.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I did finally sell one for $95.00 that I originally priced $265.00. I think I had finally marked it down to $175.00 and was getting ready to pull it after sitting for a long while at that price. As I was working in the booth, it was sitting without a price and someone expressed interest in it. I told them they could have it for $135.00. They offered $95.00 and, in a weak moment, I accepted.</p><p><br /></p><p>I probably could have sold it on ebay for as much or more. I was tired of dealing with it by then and there is always the shipping issue on ebay.&nbsp; The shipping of larger works on canvas for ebay sales just are not worth it unless at higher price points.&nbsp; Ebay, for the most part, is a wholesale art market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
