Goodwill
Two paintings left overnight in a Goodwill donation bin in Toronto sold at auction for over $150,000 Canadian samolians (US$136,480).
I visit a Goodwill and/or Salvation army 3-4 times a year just to check out the paintings. So far, I have only seen bad art imitating Picasso or the "wide eyed" prints (Keane?) from the 60's. I guess the "good art" gets pulled before it hits the floor. Although I did find an underpriced ceramic sculpture one time. But I am not giving up!
