Don't understand me wrongly: I don't begrudge anyone the joys of an Escher or a Water of Ayr. But let's start with understanding and appreciating the basics
- quick buys and easy re-sales solely based on key-words and hearsay are not at all in short demand.
If the question were: how to make sure attributions are correct?- well, that is a useful question indeed. Far too many hones are classified solely based on expected profits rather than by careful evaluation of their characteristics, by those in the know as well as the oblivious. I'd be happy to cooperate in countering such.
