Now why do that ??  Isn`t hammer price what we are estimating ??  Thats why I put +BP and didn`t include it in the figure !!  The auction house gets the BP so it is not part of the actual selling price !!
If the BP is added into the figure it gives an inflated amount for value !!

Nope, it's the price you PAY, not the hammer price! It doesn't matter who gets what, what matters is, how much did you pay for the item. And 20% is not a little thing.

lol, it's a miracle? ok, FINALLY! When you look up prices at auctions, they always include the BP in price and buyers are mindful of it when bidding, trust me.
And yes, i am happy now!
And, you are still gonna lose!
There are quite a few Fraktur pieces in this sale, i have my eye on one but i'll bet others do as well. fraktur used to be cheap but ever since it got the "folk art" label, it is anything but cheap these days for good examples.

You can't handle larger Bass! BAM!

Odd how i came into Fraktur, i had several people over for a dinner party a couple years ago and as i was busy in the kitchen, i heard this VERY LOUD, JAMES!!!! coming from somewhere in the house. It alarmed me, i am thinking, someone got hurt, fell off the deck, drown in the pool, something BAD! so i rushed to see what the problem was and this lady says "do you realize you do not have a single decoration hanging on your walls in this entire house?"

Actually, no, i didn't know that, it just never occurred to me, not something i thought about ever, til then. And since i am an old furniture freak and had always been around fraktur while never giving it a thought and it is usually framed and ready to hang i figured hey, let's try a little Fraktur!

Hardly but, at least i got a couple things up! I am not batting 000 the way it was 2 years ago! It's not as easy as it sounds, first you gotta find it, then you need to like it and finally there is the price thingy that rears it's ugly head. Add all that up and it doesn't happen in a half hour!

Jacon4 I looked again at the #2 piece !!  There is some serious staining upper left corner !! And in the description they called them birds,, they are in fact eagles !!  Just wondered if you noticed that ??  Maybe it will sell at a reasonable price !!
