SNYD Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Very sad that someone thinks they are getting an authentic 1" popeye on Ebay. I messaged the seller letting them know it is a contemporary marble not vintage. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255948863193?hash=item3b97bdb6d9:g:V94AAOSwindj1BJE&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4HKF6seuUK%2B936U%2FWKEKOquaO64avotDzBEKs%2BGn5iFR4IwNbbFQkSCEnAFn%2B7T3GhZX17AE06HnS%2F47gtHT1qeMD31745SrUD7MdGOGT5O7XOd7%2FbX4Dfzu7My4izp7Eemy6xzOdmDxDUJLe1sw5p4%2FLgsoiPcljrZBXBcC2fOIketUS9EQ%2BI6PCO54dIM1k8gtwNiSCWcVcVfFPjUtggCDdZQqYq1o%2FPW8ZMIo9BSRpHFfkyD602Y3QYT8bF2KiUGFQK1I3YwREx25ju7XXgjO8vgOC7wgE9iZGRHihMZm|tkp%3ABk9SR4iJ3aTCYQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 I see the listing was cancelled. Hopefully they heeded your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Quite a scary looking marble. I might buy it if it was listed right. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 A 50/50 chance when policing marbles on Ebay. This was the good 50%. At least it was removed.. It is a never ending job daily and only gets worse. I stopped, I did not have time to waste anymore on getting cursed out for informing someone of the truth. Many times which they already knew or had been told. Someday sooner or later it will probably be sold as vintage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Then again you can always give some positive info and wish for the best as well---it rarely happens but it is worth a shot😁. There is a seller with eleven Vacor Atmospheres listed at $200 on ebay right now. They have been there for awhile. I contacted the seller because they were listed as being 3/4" and told him to relist them as they should be closer to 1". The seller corrected the posting. Lets see how many will sell after this post. I recieved thanks--but no discounts. A bottom feeder am I. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNYD Posted February 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Ron is 100% correct. I usually do not contact people on Ebay but it was going for a high cost and there were lots of bidders. But others I have contacted get really ugly really quick. I do not recommend it unless you're willing to get bashed. Oh, yes, you will most likely get blocked or banned from the seller. Don't get me wrong, there have been some unknowledgeable folks that have been very gracious. NOT MANY! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Getting blocked or banned is worth going after a scam Seller. I’ve done it and have no regrets 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 My favorite Artist bought all of the Knock Off paintings he could find of his paintings. Pretty cool when your paintings go for big 6-7 figures🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is known for not producing prints of his original works. His gallery is in Santa Fe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoozer Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Just now, schmoozer said: David Rothermel… I’ve also got an original from Lloyd Goff, dated 1942. My grandparents bought it from him in 1942. When he was at UNM. My grandfather was Dean of Geology at the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s the Artist of your giclee 🔥 I have two watercolors. One from Edger E West. He lived 1857 to 1892. One from Edwin Lamasure he lived 1866 to 1916. How do I find out if they are worth anything or go to Salvation Army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
