<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moontymes, post: 45537, member: 41&quot;]Good points, Mark and Brad. You are both right in that the sheer volume of items on Ebay make it very hard to find everything. However, in the case of the Lawrence, the seller routinely sells paintings for thousands. There are obviously some collectors who are not worried about buying works of art on Ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think you first have to take a good look at the seller&#039;s other items when buying any kind of art or antique on Ebay. Obviously, it they have 50 Picassos listed, it&#039;s a red flag. But for these particular sellers, I think they&#039;re getting items out of estate sales, yard sales, auctions, etc. just like most of us would do, and listing them. It would be the same crap shoot if you or I personally found the items ourselves at a house sale. Obviously the provenances are not air tight, but what items are? Even items that have come out of the homes of the Rockefellers have had fakes in their midst. </p><p>It&#039;s all food for thought to me and interesting because it makes me ask &quot;What is ANY art really worth?&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
