i AGREE on could have done better - i had not had a chance to bid yet

Have to agree -- unless he received an astronomical number, he would have done much better if he had taken bids.

I too was interested in the piece and was told by him that he took an offer of $3500. I do not blame him for taking the offer.

Could likely have done better at auction, but if he avoided a sellers commission (and a long wait) then he did ok. Still might have been able to hold out for more on a direct sale. Tough to find them this nice!

$3,500 is a fair and strong price...maybe $4,000 but can't blame the seller.

so what would you pay for a joke.

getting $3500 is fantastic.

If he held out what would he have gotten maybe 4. Auction and then paid a fee plus had to wait for the money?

In a week he made a nice profit

Good for him

How many here offered him a whole lot less?

God, I love rational, pragmatic thinking.

Didn't he pay around $100 for this at the flea market? How anyone can question this transaction even a little is baffling.

Found money. You can't beat it.

Now that we know the price -- I agree that it's a very strong number!
