[QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 34058, member: 305"]I know I've mentioned about this store owner once or twice before. This time it's really aggravating. He showed me a watercolor by Myrtle Jones of Savannah, GA. It had foxing on it. It really needs to be taken to a conservator. The consigner said she would take best offer. She denied an offer of $275. I told him $600 is about right for all the foxing and damage it had. I asked if he could mention an offer about $400. He said he would let the consigner know. I stopped by last week to find out what the consigner said. He then told me he didn't tell her, that HE wants to get it appraised. If the seller is willing to take best offer, what she believes is a good offer, who is he to deny an offer and not tell her? I find that very unprofessional and somewhat rude.[/QUOTE]
