Title: Piece auction potential treasure
Post by: auctionguy on January 12, 2014, 06:54:47 PM
I'm phasing myself out of the storage auction scene and going to the higher end piece by auctions.

I purchased a piece of art for 750 and it may, if it checks out, be appraised in the 40-60k range.  Would be a great hit if its real but always doubtful when it seems too good to be true

Wow, that's interesting and I assure you it's NEW to this forum. So you're going to buy high end items (for reasonably  high bucks) and try to make some bigger bucks.

Can you provide any leads without giving away your new niche ?

I have a customer here that only deals in high end California art. He used to have a gallery but has lost his hearing so he retired. He hits yard sales and thrift stores mostly. He does still have contacts and makes quite a bit of money dabbling.
