[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 1412122, member: 85"]Only one thing of value. Another dealer bought it from the thrift store and went around bragging about. I had seen the painting the week earlier and passed because of the damage. I didn't buy it because I have too much stuff and my husband's voice was in my head, "Don't buy damage goods".
