<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 11169675, member: 37"]Of the latest purchases, I have sold most. The Cohen sold quickly at $95.00. The UofI piece sold at $40.00. The Hiroshige print sold at $38.00. The string art piece sold at $35.00. The Deborah Fell mixed media piece (that I didn't really like but she has a following) sold. I had priced it $250.00. Sold at $190.00. Great return on my investment and I am a happy camper <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cool.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Along with the two Veloy Vigil paintings shown in another thread (not yet offered for sale), I had a very good month. I need to get back out and beat the bushes but think this months worth of finds will be hard to beat. None of this is terribly valuable art but I think it shows that value can be found if you have a good eye and put yourself in a position to find what is out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been perusing Facebook Marketplace and have seen some works of interest. Almost all are more expensive that what I pay at the thrift stores but many are pretty reasonable. Sellers are not good at identifying artists or even showing signatures.
