Not that I'm considering it but this piece definitely seemed interesting and was very curious what the board experts thought about it.

Careful you don't step in it.

 

I ratted him out to Sotheby's. They might want to ask ebay to kill the sale.

No attempt to be devious.

 

Just outright lies from start to finish.

 

With bad spelling thrown in. :lol:

After laughing and muttering "bloody idiot!" at the screen, I emailed Sotheby's NY as well. :-) My girlfriend had a peer at it later, and goggled slightly. :-)

 

best wishes
