David,

I appreciate your input, but I'm not asking if it was a fair price. I'm asking if it's worth less than it would be had the NFL HOFer actually painted it. I agree that it's a fair price, but "fair price" isn't really a meaningful term in this situation.

If I had bid on and won something for $500 that I thought I could sell for $2,000 and it wound up being materially different than it was described which made it so I could only sell it for $600, you could still say it was a "fair price." But I might have had better use for that $500 and never considered placing a bid under those circumstances.

Hopefully that adds some clarity to what I'm asking.

-Ryan
