I have just remodelled and no longer have room for my decoys. I have quite a few I'm thinking I would like to sell, but have no idea of what they are worth and was hoping some kind soul here might be able to give me an idea. I've included a list of what I have and if anyone can help, I can take pictures of them as well. Appreciate any info you can pass on or if you know of someone who'd be interested in buying. Thanks
Donna

I,ve found that the "quoted" value of any art work is often considerably higher than what the available buyers are willing to pay for it. Bicknells can go for 6-800 -----or $150 on e-Bay--In short,----it,s only worth what you can find someone to pay for it. If you post some pics maybe you can get some bidders here.

6. The seller MUST post a price, unless this is a for trade post, this is not an auction.

He's looking for advice on price as he doesn't know the value of these decoys.

Bugger off.

If they are intended for sale, should do some home work before posting. Should not be different rules. Take your attitude and stuff it.

This is a discussion about price. It's not in the for sale section.

And one of MANY that have cropped up over the years. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Bit of an oxymoron statement. You suggest he do his home work on them and then put them up for sale. Does not posting on here and asking price not constitute his "homework"???

Thanks for your flawed logic.

Nothing wrong with asking for help on pricing. Ignore the crappy attitude. Just another a$$hole stirring the pot. Please post some pictures. I might be interested in one or two if the price isn't outlandish.

Your comment made me recall the joke of the man who biggest worry was when he died, his wife would selling his gun for the value he told her that he paid for them...
