<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 99978, member: 37&quot;]There is a long history of sellers on ebay selling paintings by well known artists with no provenance or guarantee.&nbsp; There is usually something in the wording or item details that serve as a disclaimer.&nbsp; Some may be just disingenuous chance listings by an individual that stumbled on to something they are not sure about.&nbsp; Others are outright forgeries being presented in deceptive ways.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There was one seller in Australia that continually had drawings and watercolors by famous artists that were clearly fakes.&nbsp; He always started them cheap at auction with some song and dance story about their origin.&nbsp; There were always multiple bidders with end prices in the hundreds.&nbsp; Lately, I have seen similar paintings coming from a seller in Hungary.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is truly buyer beware.&nbsp; People bid on these things due to their own greed.&nbsp;&nbsp; The chance that they may get something valuable for pennies on the dollar causes them to override any caution that they might otherwise have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
