I'm presently looking at contemporary art by the famous Petenkev brothers, particularly their works of holes, should be worth a bit in the next few years. Also I have acquired original invisible sketches of their early works, I'm sitting on a goldmine !
I’d buy one off you, would an invisible cheque be acceptable? Or perhaps an imaginary bank transfer?

Make sure it's well insured, take a few photos so that if it get nicked you can prove what it looked like. You know how picky these insurance companies can be. They will try to wriggle out of paying if they can. They might even claim that it's been found and bring it back, in which case you will need to be able to compare it with the photos to make sure it's the rite one.

Moral dilemma of yesterday.
That decision you have to make when getting back to the yard with a mates clapped out Manitou that you have been nursing along to load haylage bales in the field, severely testing your patience and the thing is very nicely on fire when you park it up.
My morals got the better of me so I moved it to the tap and put it out. Its parking spot was close to the fertiliser which did sway me a little....
 
You're not catching me out! Bought an invisible statue last year and it turned out to be a fake!!!

I think this one is genuine …
Fair point, wish I’d thought of it first 🤣

Wonder how the owner will verify it when they come to sell, I mean, they could knock up a couple of counterfeits and photocopy the certificate......couldn’t they? How’d anyone check?
Well this exhibit is absolutely genuine…

Firms selling fairly standard low value stuff that only let you buy through a dealer/franchise.
You spec it all up online and know exactly what you want but can only buy through a dealer. Dealer sometimes not that knowledgable, screws the order up, delays delivery and adds a markup. Why?

I won’t participate in that merry go round any more and find an alternative online supplier who can deliver and supply direct.

I put an advert up for some stuff I want gone. Someone bids far less then the asking price, no problem, I want it gone, come and get I say. Message back from the bidder that either he wants to know details or he doesn't want it. The mind boggles.
Might aswell be on "things that make you smile" .
