i go garage saling every weekend, i regularly buy shit for dirt cheap and sell it for 10x what i payed or more on ebay.

i saw the painting at an estate sale at some rich guys house, went home, researched the artist and found that some of his works are selling for at least a grand so went back and paid 240. even if i cant sell it, its still a really nice painting and i wouldnt mind having it around for a while. There is no d oubt i my mind that it is at least worth what i paid for it and 800-1000 is probably fair price. i see it as an investment.
