Dumpster Diving for 20K
 

Yes sir dumpster diving can be fun and profitable. The other day I stopped at a Goodwill Store here in town and saw a nice Datrik golf bag for $60, to be marked down on Wednesday to 1/2 price for us seniors. Well I went back to pick up the bag and guess what I found in the paintings bin. Yep a Hamaguchi dated 1965. While he is known for Etchings and Mezotints he did do oil paintings and the only record oI found of one was for $17,000 for a 9 X 14 or so. This is 24 X 30, sometimes things just jump out at you and say they are GOOD. So lets just say in the 20K neighborhood. Yep a $1.50 well invested.

The frame is kind of ugly. :)

too much orange. It won't match my sofa.

I'm only interested if the canvas is black velvet.

That would look good hanging next to an Elvis portrait!

JK.....Contrat's on your find! Now you can sell it and use the money to jump-start the economy!!!

More with the weak $dollar. That would pay for a nice Tokyo vacation. Sushi, saki and gaishas walking on your back..

PSSST..for 20K I don't give a fk what it looks like. Orange smornge your just jealous...you love that oriental cr~p.

Lucky bustard

It only cost $1.50!

I'll give you $1.30 for it. :)

I can't picture 'dula getting in a dumpster, much less outta one.

I thought it would be worth $100 to $200 or so. I knew it was professionally done. This also could turn out to a Jeffy Smith diaster to, and not be right. I need to do some more research. However I could always sell it to one of you Pelicans for $200 if all else fails.

The question is would Motion start dumpster diving for 20K too???

It matches mine. But I've got an ugly sofa.

Yes but how lovely your sofa would look with the painting hanging over it...it would, would look like 20k..

The real money is in spoons.

I like mine better even though it's only half done.

Can you post a better picture? From the right side close to the frame is sure doesn't look like brush strokes from an oil painting
