Fakes and more fakes

Here's another one for ya, peeps.

Be careful out there.

Don't be fooled by an attractive price.

UPDATE: May 4.

Someone bought it for a grand. A $20.00 yard-sale painting for a grand.

I wonder how they'll feel when they find out the truth, don't you ?

Item number: 250814037048
Item location: saugerties, NY, United States

That said, there are smiles and maybe even high-fives in Saugerties this morning.

And yet another update. May 16, 2011.
It is now re-listed. Guess the $1000.00 buyer didn't like it, eh ?
Or refused to pay ?
Wonder if P. T. Barnum is smiling.
