<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 275084, member: 5515"]I was cruising through a store today, and I saw a nice painting. I couldn't quite make out the signature so I didn't buy it. On my way home I figured out the signature (the store was already closed by now) and immediately realized I made a mistake. After I got home I started doing research, and the artists similar works have sold between $1000-$1500...(this was for sale at a thrift shop so it would have been priced at $30 max)</p><p><br /></p><p>When I last saw it, the store was closing in 15 minutes (so unless someone bought it in the last 15 minutes it will still be there). Naturally I'm going to get there as soon as the store opens and hope that it's still there. Does anyone have a similar story to share? I'm literally sick to my stomach realizing my mistake now...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
