Well, I'm pretty dumb...but I think even I would be smart enough to check out that "Renoir" tag on the frame before I sold it at a flea market. :P

I have had some wonderful finds... but, thats just amazing... Im not even sure I would put it in auction....  I would put it on loan to a museum and hold tight until i really needed the money...

In reality....how many people would...there common sense would tell them differently....like "if its too good to be true"...and they,d be thinking...Na, nobody would put Renoir, on the front...it must be a copy....that is until now!....

It is those "sleepers" that keeps one going back again n' again ..... with high hopes that they will "spot it" before someone else does. ;D ;D
