Fabulous Selections at VERY reasonable prices
This was only my second experience with an on-line auction, and it was an EXTREMELY positive one. The selection of paintings was amazing. Descriptions were thorough and accurate, and the quality of all the pieces seemed great. I bid on a LOT of them, but was super happy with the 4 I won. Can't wait to buy more from this seller at future auctions! I'm a big fan. Thanks!!!
