Deal Gone South
A coupla weeks ago a guy approached me via the net about a piece of art I owned. He said he collected this particular artist and would like to buy said painting. I said $20,000.00 hoping to blow him off. Well he came back and agreed to purchase the piece. I said yes, as I had $1800 into it, and the time and money coefficient made it worthwhile. After a fairly long conversation with him and several e-mails he seemed hot to go for it. Well the guy flaked without a word. That hurts, cause I just don't know why? .
In all actuality I gave the guy a good price on the piece and was sorry to see it go....but 20 large woulda been a real help. This particular artists stuff sells at auction along with Picasso's and seems to be on a steep upward trajectory this season. The last coupla auctions the size and composition I have, have been in the 20 to 35 range with one for sale in a gallery at 45...Ohh well back to the original plan.. I consider it to be one of my blue chip pieces and as such hate to sell the good stuff when I could sell off some of my lessor pieces...and come up with the same kind O dinero.

Who is the artist? I have a few pieces by Mesibov that I'm hoarding. His stuff has been on a steady trend upward and he's not producing any more (He's 94). Current gallery price, I have about $50k worth of his stuff and it is actually selling in galleries.

There are several pieces by this aritst coming up for sale in early March..so we shall see if my perceptions are accurate. If they are I have a new price in mind and it ain't gona be 20 large..
As I said I used to go down to Abels in LA every week to check out what was there. Every week there was somehing nice to bid upon.

I have people flake out on buying car parts all the time... Really, really pisses me off. I have had some 924 parts that I am damn near giving away, and I have 3 people PM asking about them, and then never replying when I respond....
