For example I have a parian bust of Thomas Moore by Robinson and leadbeater that some people on here helped me identify. From my research at their absolute most that might be worth $1,000 Australian. However the same bust exactly is for sale in Manhattan at a very high class antique shop for 7 1/2 thousand US dollars. And someone in Manhattan would probably have no problem paying that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the reason why I got a good deal on this one is because the side bracket appeared to be broken but I could see it just needed a glue but for some people that&#039;s enough to put them off and the other thing is that it has no key so whilst the side drawers have locks luckily they are unlocked but the main cabinet on the slope that is locked shut.</p><p>So that may have also put people off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
