I bought a lot of 8 prints and paintings at a local auction house for $75

with premium and sales tax it came to $94.
Listed 5 of them on eBay yesterday.
I just sold the first painting, a landscape watercolor by a Montana artist for $350.
Now off to the box store for a big ass box and bubble wrap!

I have roamed ebay enough to know one can do pretty well selling things.
and I have bought items there for far less than I could find then elsewhere.
Win/win

is always a deal there one way or the other.
The week before I bought a group of 8 prints at an art auction for $150 and flipped the first one on eBay 3 days later for $400.
I do something like that with each lot and I'm happy, profitable and have no pressure to sell the ones I want to keep.
It does help to know what you're buying and what's a great deal but I know art so that's what I wheel and deal with on the side.
