    Is the LITHO that is limited to 350 pieces worth $350?


    Know it's close to being, but if not, still a beauitoful piece and can sell at anytime for at least $480
    You paid $540 for it

          Okay, so it is a lithograph.

          You can get this very one (signed) on Ebay for 800 bucks.

          Fish, is it signed?

                  Just stating facts. The guy is a mere shadow of himself on the forums compared to 7-10 years ago. The kid out of wedlock doesn't seem to have a strong support system.

                    Fish, I believe you purchased this piece of artwork but I also believe you didn't quite know the value of it beforehand. You were gambling and it could come back to bite you!

                        Do a quick search. 3 grand is average. I mean even the least popular Thomas Kinkade litho's go for well over 500, Salvador Dali is a legend.

                                        Yes

                                        #25/350.........1980




                                        Came with two COA's and as mentioned earlier, in a manificant frame which alone had to cost $160+....................

                                        Looking around the internet, see many copies selling anywhere from $1,000-$7,600 UNframed...........listed in the DALI price guide at $6600..........

                                        Feel I got a decent buy at $535.............should take it down to PAWN STARS.

                                              fish you properly got a lithograph for 500 dollars originals Dali s are going for 75000 dollars and up interestingly Dali is believed to be the next big thing in the art world, I have several works of art valued well into , well nevermind, one was a gift, given to me for doing something for someone and giving them 20 years of their life back. The work is from a southwest painter in the early 20th century its value is at least 90000 dollars, forget gambling the real hustle is in antiques and artwork lets say fishead you just said bingo.

                                                  Dali cranked out lots of art of dubious quality towards the end of life because his family forced him to do so for profit. If it's a later quality piece you probably paid market value for it on top of buyers commission.

The work is from a southwest painter in the early 20th century its value is at least 90000 dollars, forget gambling the real hustle is in antiques and artwork lets say fishead you just said bingo.




                                                        Done a little wheeling in the art market in the past..........made a few bucks.


                                                        This piece is simply a litho limited to 350 pieces......................most gallaries have it listed between $1400-$5500(WAY TO MUCH).................not to worried about making a profit at a later date on my small $535 investment.....................some fool out there will give me at least $600 for it.

                                                            Art is in the shitter. Guys can ASK any price they want, people are going to be buying at 10-15% of retail. $540 is probably on the high side. If youre at an auction and dont know anything about art and you win something, chances are very high you over paid. If it is strictly an art auction the chances are 100% that you overpaid. That's common sense. If guys are there to buy art, especially to re-sell and youre winning auctions against them youre not going to make a profit.
