<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 3843734, member: 55&quot;]It depends on the reputation of the artist, and the quality of the work.&nbsp; Many less-known or unknown artists may sell for much less.&nbsp; For example, my wife bought a box lot of 10 fairly ordinary Inuit sculptures - seals, birds, fish - for $50 a few years ago.&nbsp; Nobody else was bidding, but there were a couple in there she liked, so she went for it.&nbsp; But if dealers in the room were not willing to pay $5 each, it gives some idea what the resale value would be, in their opinion.</p><p>But as my wife thought, if you like it, that is the main thing, unless one is hoping to find a hidden gem.&nbsp; That is more likely if one is familiar with artist&#039;s names, or has the experience to recognize work that is beyond the usual.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
