Well it is worth a punt, I am sure I will get my money back, find a cheap glazed frame, and should be ok, just checking whether I should ask £50 once framed or £120...
Just because he is listed does not mean people will pay for his work.
I did not say this Vanny, what I asked is his works seem to make this figure NORMALLY, but taking into consideration this isn't one of his best pieces surely must be worth what I paid, and it is also quite a nice size...
Who drunk half of your wine, and made it half empty Vanny, lol. :L
I am surely going to be optimistic, because it is in my hands, if you possessed it don't tell me you wouldn't have the same enthusiasm...

If you ask £50 you will not get £120
Ask £120 and you may get £50
Just a hint on the business side.
please note it is theantiquesman account on qlocal that is now only used, thank you
No you fool, there is not much point asking £120 for a £50 painting, on th other hand asking £50 for a £120 painting is pretty silly, so just check what you think it is worth, it is like asking £2, 000 for a £1, 400 Grandfather clock, unless the buyer is a muppet, you will get the cold shoulder.

Right??? Sorry, what has this got to do with you?? Vanny is a cheeky chappy, and I am sure he will be the first to admit, if you dish it out, you have to take it.... LOL. Me & Vanny joke with each other, like muppet was deemed an offensive word, when ?? Mst of missed that day...
Defnine muppet:
"Exhubing an air of confidence that is mutually exclusive to that of their accomplishments or ability."
I am sorry if you take offensive my the word muppet, but the world, I am afraid is a bit tougher, than the odd losse word...

It is good that there is posting to keep the forum active but (I edited my last comment )
How ?? I say please and thank you, and John should know how greatful I really am for his experise, I don't really hink you have the opinion to judge as you have only posted 9 times on the forum, not that, that is a bad thing, it is just, if you had been around for longer, I am sure it will become apparent I really do appreciate Vanny's comprehensive knowledge in the field of antiques, and his help and guidance...
I haven't posted on the forum but have been looking in everyday since I discovered it a few months back.
I find it is difficult to understand sometimes the intent behind written words on a forum. Perhaps you may have meant it as a joke but for those of us reading it, it comes across very disrespectful by calling John a fool and almost demanding him to check what it is worth.
I can understand your frustration sometimes but... As I said perhaps the intent was nothing like what has come across in the written words.
By the way, I wish I had something to say on the forum but still just in the early stages of learning.

This was the bit I find offensive

I've met John many times and consider him a friend, not a cash cow like you seem to do.
I don't post on this forum much because of you and your oppo. I post on the main forums have done for many years.

Just to clear up one thing... "So just check what it is worth" Meant I was just checking how much it is worth, not intructing Vanny to chck how much it is worth, I can see how this may have come across telling Vanny what to do...
You have had the privlidge to meet Vanny, and I am sure he is a pleasent and talkative character, but I have not had the privlidge yet, maybe when I do finally meet him, we can have a good old ching wag, but until that time, our conversations will be based on antiques, as this is an antiques forum I do believe.
OHHH! The hypercriticalness and irony of your natre is absurd.
You create an argument about how offensive terms are wrong, but then near the end of your paragraph, you call me a no mark and a chancer...
