Donny Malone auctions scam

[blackOlives]

Theyre known swindlers. victimizing art collectors by selling cheap fake copies of famous artworks. they recently just sold a framed and pencil signed The catboat litograph by edward hopper. real price goes around thousands. they sold a $1 copy probably from the internet or a book and sold it to someone for around $7k. Beware.

damn. is there any way you can block auction houses? I am not really sure if this is scam or if they are simply stupid but this is just SO BAD. didn't see this listing but did they explicitly said it's authentic? still it's a big auction so it may be intentional to leave out details as THEY KNOW people think they are credible. their google ratings are down low anyway.

ooof, that's just crazy, but Hopper's legit signed works go for serious money, no way a $1 copy holds any value. People need to double check provenance before dropping thousands. at this point, I wonder if the buyer would be able to get their money back.

$7000? that's horrible, I hope they got what they deserve

Been a thing for decades, always be vigilant when buying art. Bring an expert if you can.

Damn, known DM for quite some time. Never knew they had these kinds of issues. Thanks for informing though.

Appreciate the heads up! That's definitely suspicious. It's always a good idea to double-check where things come from and the prices, especially with art like Hopper's.
