<p>[QUOTE="Kasperscuriosities, post: 128364, member: 404"]That is really intriguing. I just don't know. I have been looking around and have found work of his that was more like the one I have pictures of. It definitely makes me wonder. I think at this time what I will do is just tell this client that she would need to have it authenticated. That if she can get an expert to verify that it is indeed a real Monet and have it documented then we can talk about it but without some sort of documentation there is really no way that I can help her. Unless of course she wants to sell it for $100 to desperate_fun. LOL. ;-) </p><p><br /></p><p>A good part of me believes this to be some sort of scam or fraud. I mean common sense would tell me that. Normally that is absolutely the way I would feel but after the things I have seen over the past few weeks I have to be honest I don't think there is much that could surprise me anymore. </p><p><br /></p><p>I mean remember a couple of weeks ago a person handed me a pretty valuable wine collection just, here ya go, have fun with it, I am moving and not going to have room for it. Huh? That seemed too good to be true but it was. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have had all kinds of people call me with all kinds of unbelievable items and I have definitely learned that a lot of people are truly certifiably crazy! I don't know why or where this stuff is coming from but somehow they are finding me and contacting me. I live a pretty modest life. I don't have a lot of money. I don't rub elbows with the rich. What little money I do have is going into this auction gallery right now and believe me I am scared to death of what is going to happen with it. Although, these crazy things keep coming up. These deals of a lifetime. I feel as though I am on one of those shows and at any moment someone is going to pop out with a camera and say hahaha we got you. If it wasn't for such a crazy past couple of months I would not believe this for a minuet but after what I have seen I really just don't know anymore. Anything is possible. I have learned that. LOL! I hope this lucky streak continues that's all I really know. LOL! I am going to ride this train until it stops that's for sure. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the client goes and does the work to get it authenticated and it turns out to be real I will let you know. Until then I will just assume it is some sort of hoax. I know there are a lot of frauds in the art world. If I happen to find out that it is a fraud I will let you know that too. ;-)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
