Just bought an original Picasso. He’s got my eye today!
Looks like you have good taste. That Picasso is one of my personal favorites too. But tell me, how much did you pay for it?
topcretin
Not sure yet. Bidding starts in 30 minutes
Well, let me make a suggestion. I happen to have some connections in the art world. Connections that could help you negotiate a better price for that Picasso.

Don’t you already own this painting
No, my friend. We are the ones selling it. I have connections that will guarantee us a significant profit. Trust me, this is going to be a smart investment.

We need to find the right buyer, someone who's willing to pay top dollar for this masterpiece.

Leave that to me. I have a network of high-profile art collectors and dealers who are always looking for rare pieces like this.

Well, considering the rarity and the value of this Picasso, I believe we can fetch at least five million dollars for it.
