What is the deal?
There was recently an incredible Leeteg on Ebay that had hung at Don the Beachcomber.
This painting was on eBay twice, the first time the highest bid was $2700 the second auction reached only $2900.
The reserve price was not met.
I don't blame the owner...I would not sell my Leeteg for that kind of money.
Is it that the people who want a Leeteg don't have that kind of money to spend?
Are Leetegs just not worth as much as we think?
Do you have to reach the "real" collectors?
I would think an original black velvet Leeteg should fetch $10,000.
I watch the Antiques Roadshow....am I crazy?
Any experts out there?
