Message:: [QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 9966586, member: 83302"]This copy is cheap. It's $300 in a very nice frame. I like the print. But, I can buy a poster sized copy for $30. I've found one that sold a few years ago, and it sold for $3000 from an art dealer. They'd obviously be more knowledgable, but honesty can fly out the window when you're looking at making a few grand. From my other post on fakes, West Park seems to have an iffy reputation when it comes to Dali. They only authenticated this, they didn't sell it. The person selling it, supposedly has quite a few prints from different artists. He has authenticity letters attached to each with the "value" of each, yet he's selling them for $300 instead of $3000. Which for me is the biggest red flag. If it's worth $5000 (that's what the authentication says) why are you giving it away for $300? I'd like it, because I like the art. I just don't want to pay $300 for a poster worth $30 with a fake autograph on it. On the other hand, it could be a real print with Dali's signature, because the edition size matches. It's honestly a crap shoot. The difference being, if I buy it, I'm buying it because I like and will keep the art. Most people look at a bargain like this as a fast way to make some cash. You should never do that with art, you'll almost always get burned.[/QUOTE]
