    Bought an Oil painting at the Balbriggan market off a bunch of shady looking characters. I paid €20 but it looks a lot more. Where can I get this valued?


    Sorry if this is the wrong forum, no idea where to post it.

    First thing you must do tho is, track down the artist and kill him. Painting will go up in value then

    Great thread - first time I've had a chuckle all day! Whyte's Auction Rooms on Molesworth Street would be a good place to try for a valuation, but do post a pic here.
