<p>[QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 31395, member: 305"]I got to let out a little steam. I was at a store that I shop at regularly and have spent a nice sum on money. The owner, said that he has, and showed, an original watercolor by Myrtle Jones from GA. He couldn't even find it, he had to tear the store apart to find it. Once he did, he said that her works sell for about $1,200. A quick search proved his statement right. He said the consigner was accepting offers. One offer of $275 was denied. This watercolor had foxing on it, very bad. He said he didn't think it was foxing because the paper is acid free. He then stated that the brown dots were "junk" on the inside of the glass. I knew better. Anyways, I told him I wouldn't give more than $600 for it, due to the price of having it repaired. He said he would let the consigner know but wants to take it to an appraiser. I know that's his business and he's there to make money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
