[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 9925229, member: 22"]Yay, Just sold a piece of art which I think is hideous. I found it in an attic over a year ago and the prices for artist's work is all over the place from £200 to £19k. It was #13 of 50 etching & aquatint I found 2 others, one in the Tate and the other in a university art collection, no values, no sold prices and no sign of the other 47 I listed it on eBay at £8k, no takers, but a lot of comments that it was too expensive.:D To me that is the only way to find its true value, at £8k if it was too cheap it would have been bid up. I reduced the price every 2 weeks by £1k Tonight 20 minutes before the end of the listing at £5k I got an offer of £1k, I countered with £1.2k ($1595) Bingo, it sold and was paid for. I will deliver it myself this week, 70 miles away. "Boy with Goat" 1958 by Julian Trevelyan. [ATTACH=full]498526[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
