but that doesn't hold for all of them!
They say that this below written by Kenneth Walton is how you all have been framed. Well my art loving friends,... have yourselves another thought! This is the answer to the supposed MFA expert's wildest dreams, and is being used by them to the fullest. This garbled up bunch of bulcrap, deceptions and lies, especially coming from a failed attorneys mind and thought waves, who couldn't make it as an attorney, and who also couldn't make it and had also failed as a art person or a bad connoisseur of art, one who supposedly not knowing much about art as for what he was purchasing at the used market places, where such treasures are sometimes known to be found.
The MFA experts, or so-called want-a-bees, one like running this idiotic site called Artfakes.dk says eBay is a thriving Market Place to make a bad bargain. Let just analyse what these supposed MFA people have to say and are saying. I'd say these bidder who they say they are saving from the turmoil's of big money art loses are mostly one like themselves who bid on the art work like talked about in this little write up and more than likely didn't lose one dime of the bid price, because more than likely wasn't ever planning on paying for it at all in the first place. Most the one bidding on those higher priced art items ones supposedly selling on eBay and paying the higher dollars prices for are most likely the bastards who think they are the MFA experts, and then after bidding and winning the supposed art work, aren't planning and don't pay while trying to bring down the wrath of God on the sellers ass!
This so-called attorney had to result to the same kind of games which are played in the MFA market itself, while more than likely researched the game a little, you know, where the big moneys at, and a person who was more or less looking for a fast track way of making a lot of cold hard cash. In being caught red handed with his hand in the cookie jar from their little scam he and his partner had played on eBay, he decided to turn states evidence on his partner in crime, while possibly seeing another way of making boo coo bucks. He more than likely said to himself,.... I'll just write a bunch of bulshit that they all want to hear, and I'll get that free pass to the road of notoriety, and be able to write a bunch of books,.... mean while possibly getting a best ot top selling book in the future,.... since it is mostly lies the public wants to hear and read.
I read this guys bulcrap and lies right from the beginning when it was happening after first being found out on eBay. I could myself at the time see all the bulshit he was telling them, for he himself was caught up in his partners lies and deceptions himself, and wanted very much to believe that people involved in the arts were actually as stupid as the MFA experts thinks all their own clients are, you know, the ones who have to rely on what they the supposed MFA experts tells them about what is being sold in the other elite high end market places. I don't really think that I have to mention a lot of their names, but I will mention Butter Fields & Butter Fields of San Francisco, since that auction company was bought by eBay.
Well, I'm telling every last one of you people out there, one who use someone else for their supposed expertise and knowledge in this MFA world, when it involves the kind of money and cash that will line these peoples bank accounts for your use of it,.... you had all better have yourselves another thought! When it comes right down to the knitty gritty of truths,... science, mathematics, computer science programming, ones put together by scientists for determining artist idiosyncrasies and brush strokes, all types of analysis one can think of, scanning abilities, photo enhancement workshops, are all one hell of a better way to go, for the truths of things,.... you know when shopping for million dollar plus items.
Yes, all these questionable pieces of merchandise changing hands on eBay, and other online auctions, while being mostly unpoliced and concidered deceptive type art work, items that these internet auctions have been concidered to have spawned. Two eBay auction participants, one being an attorney, got themselves involved as the big boys do, when it comes to supposed MFA. They, the MFA experts just could not stand to see two others get away with the same kind of shit they have been pulling off themselves, over the past hundred years or so.
It is mostly all about these supposed great masters works of art, changing hands by the buyers and sellers, of these auctions, and which is causing all the up roars in this MFA world of ours. Only the ones that bring abnormal high amounts, do they bring out all the ones wanting to disclaim them, whether them being real or not. Most have been said to be fakes, even though some can actually be proven scientifically to be as said, only to be squashed by the MFA experts only using their supposed hands on intuitive bulshit. Most times these works of art are just looked at using the pictures on the internet auction sites, and that my friends I consider to be just as much as a part of their own intuitive bulshit that can be express by them.
Some of these works are so damned obvious that they are not done by the one who the seller thinks they are done by,... but for these people running this artfakesdk site to say the seller himself is the one doing the faking, make them out to be a bigger idiot than what most would think of the seller for making such a blunder on who they believes did the work. They are now saying that artfakesdk never sleeps,..... well I'd personally suggest that someone please put these MFA people who think that they are good enough art experts to know who most all these copiers are in person, the one supposedly doing all these bad copies of art for eBay, and possible run them clear off the WWW for good, not just of their temporary shut down of their activities.
Cheers!
