Found this site and apparently its a little shop in Memphis at the Peabody Hotel........ Its a gold mine I bought a painting 2 weeks ago which was appraised at $1,500.00 for 300 Bucks....... DO these paintings look legit? http://samuelnathan.com/
-
Well they're modern and not my cup of tea but if you like them !
And if you can buy 9 of 1 picture i'm guessing they're prints or oilettes ?!!
Blimey.
-
These are oil paintings! I am just shocked because I bought 2 and got them appraised and the guy was like you got lucky with these finds, they were each valued over $1000 each! I sort of want to buy like 2 more and re sell them hahaha ;D
-
But you can order several of each one ?!
The valuation is based on very little.
-
Thats true. But Mine went off the site when I bought it. I dont know Im gunna look more into it and try and re-sell the ones i have hahaha.
-
you,ll have no doubt heard the sayings ..."don,t put all your eggs in one basket"..or "pig in a poke".well...from where i,m sitting...you should take heed...Has it never occurred to you, that...if the people you bought these paintings from..thought they could get that kind of money per painting....you would,nt have them.... ;D
-
Yeah sounds to good to be true. Try to sell the ones you have and if you are successful go from there... it is a little bit of an investment to buy a few more ($1200 worth of an investment)
-
Thats very very true.... ! I dont know I may take my chances with these ones here and try and re sell. I think the person who made the site accidently made it so you can buy a higher quantity because when I bought my 2 they were immediatly removed from this site.
-
What makes you think the site owner did anything by accident...again from where i,m sitting....its like he knew exactly what he was doing..."dangling carrots spring to mind"......
-
Whos the artist by the way?
-
Yeah. Well I hope everyone here is wrong! And the appraiser was right. I will have to see.

We hope we are wrong as well...you will of course no doubt let us know if we are...and we,ll probably never hear from you again if we are correct... ;D
-
Wull how ofter do people pop in try to get everyone to give them info on an item and pop out?
-
Hahahah I will be to Embarressed to tell anybody if I am wrong.............. .
-
Finally something has gone my wayy!!! I tried to add 2 Items of another painting to my cart and it says that they dont have enough items! Woahh!!!! thats one good sign I guess......
-
Maybe the fact that the seller is terrible at setting up a eshops he also sells really nice paintings for really cheap.
-
hundreds, if not thousands of paintings by TK...available..als o his work is one of the most copied....do hope we,re wrong.....but....
-
I honestly dont know what the seller is doing.... So I hope he just doesnt know what he/she is doing and underpriced his/stuff
-
What was it you said a few posts back...you,ll try and sell what you,ve got first...then you,ll buy more....my that was quick.... ;D.
-
It means nothing that there are not enough to put in your cart. They are out of stock. If you feel the paintings are worth that kind of money it wouldn't hurt to have a second appraisal.
-

He,s probably got his big fishing rod out...and his even bigger net....for catching all those dumb ...fish that keep coming back for more....may i suggest you do some serious research...on final sales of this artists work...before you commit yourself to buying ....too many little "pinky & perky,s.".. ;D
-
Im going to have a second appraisal for sure. Im just praying about this!! hahah

Kinkade's work is printed on to canvas - you could have bought one of those.
-
Uh! Oh!.....

Oh!!....now you are singing a slightly different tune.....as the seed of doubt creeps ever closer.... ;D

Well their $2,000 carved ivory lion looks like resin and the scent / snuff bottles they claim are c1900 are nowhere near that old.
This would cost about £10 in the UK at the most. It was made nowhere near 1850

Those are Giclee prints !! Everything is reproduced identical to the original canvas right down to the brush strokes !!
-
mart, I was waiting for your comment! ;D Or is that haha these days! ;D
-
Ok Mart I think you are correct! well I guess thats still pretty cool.! But my dreams of making a quick buck are over. Well at least they look nice!
-
"But my dreams of making a quick buck are over"
That seems to happen to alot of people on this site. Oh well.....better to know than not know! ;)
-

Problem with his giclee prints is that after he died the secondary market went haywire !! And the printmakers that owned licenses to reproduce his work started printing like crazy before the estate took over !!

It was a pleasant dream,while it lasted....mind you..i think many of us have been in the same position....I know i have.....I even went as far as spending the money that i thought i was going to get...long before..i found out that my "valuable"antique...was in fact a fake...and it did,nt even make enough to cover what i paid for it....but as i,d only paid £25..in the first place..the loss was easier to swallow...gulp!! ;D
