Youngster Art Collector Acquires Painting At Cheap Auction, Later Finds Out Its Real Worth
Keeping Them On The Edge Of Their Seats
According to David Weiss, the painting could definitely have sold for $150. But also, according to the appraiser, it could sell for a lot more. Weiss continued to maintain the tension, keeping both the viewers and the boy on the edge of their seats. He continued to drag out the answer, even repeating the boy’s estimate back to him.
Eventually, Weiss told the boy that if his Albert Neuhuys painting ever went to an auction, it wouldn’t even start at $150 because it would fetch between $1,000 and $1,500. Through it all, the most precious thing about the evaluation was the boy’s reaction.
