hi Has anyone here ever seen a mask like this?
i know the mask made of gold.
-
The only one I can find that is the actual auction listing for this one. It says gold in the miniscule 'description' but does not state whether that is jut the color, plated or actual gold. No indication of size/dimensions either. With that $10 starting price I highly doubt it has enough 'gold' on it to make it worth much more...........just my opinion.

yep this is the same place i found this one.
I thought to give a bid of $ 150 but maybe i will not do so .
-
I would not bid !! There is a problem somewhere when an object is used as a happy hour starter !!
-
yep but there are other objects that start at 10$ and only the value of their silver is worth several hundred dollars.
i am looking on the hebrew site of this auction.
-
Well, it does say gold !! What karat ?? That could mean gold color not content !! How big is this piece ?? Didn`t say that either !! And you have to consider 15% buyers premium plus VAT added to your total,, then are you going to go to this auction or have it shipped to you ?? There is another cost !!
You have to realize that sometimes what is not said,, is more important than what is said !! I would just watch this auction and if at the end you think all costs are reasonable,,,then bid but in small increments !!

I actually think to go to this auction.
I marked at least 17 objects that i want to try to buy.
i consider 15% buyers premium plus 17% VAT,(vat at israel=17% :'( )
-
Let us know how it goes !!
-
no problem i hope i will have a good news :)

We do too !!
