Selling Paintings on eBay

Hi Guys and Gals!

Been lurking for a few weeks and now have a question! :D

Does anyone know much about Sir Kyffin Williams paintings and prints, apparently he is pretty ill suffering from cancer, his paintings so Im told are a good investment. I see a quite a few are being sold on eBay. Does anyone know how much profit there is in buying these and selling them on eBay?

Best Wishes

Ed :)

    Haven't a clue.....

    But why not check completed sales. You will need to do some work and research on this I would have thought.

    If they are an investment surely you buy them and keep them for a few years and then re-assess the market.

    If they are then you don't really wanna be advertising it?! ::) I wouldn't! I would suggest that if you like the painting then buy it and if it is worth sh*tl0ads in the future then lucky you! If you don't like it then it will be a burden. Usually paintings etc do go up in value when the artist dies! Morbid but true! I wuold probably take the chance if I had the money!
    I have the privilage of having William Turner in my family! Only just found out so wanna check out details! :o I just feel proud!
    :p:p Angel :p:p
