<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 291706, member: 5515"]That is <u>VERY HELPFUL</u> information to me say_it_slowly, I hadn't seen that listing before. Thank you for looking and for sharing with me. I think above all else, this confirms what the gallery in NY said to me, the market for damaged/in need of repair frames of this sort is very weak. It still says nothing of whether someone might pay a high price for perfectly restored frames, but this is why the situation is so challenging to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the markets I deal with (reselling paintings, electronics, really anything) there are very clear market prices and the range of value of an item is generally a tight grouping. Here, there are so many abstract numbers, I just don't know how to make sense of it all. If you told me give it to this gallery, and 80% chance it's going to sell in the next two years, I'm in. But the valuation is very challenging. By the way, the New York gallery is Eli Wilner and Company. We're talking about a company who has restored/created frames for paintings currently in the White House...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.eliwilner.com/projects/completed-projects.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.eliwilner.com/projects/completed-projects.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.eliwilner.com/projects/completed-projects.php</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
