Painting Sold At Church Auction Sells Again For $489,600
Sellers Pressured To Share Wealth

DUBLIN, N.H. -- A group of friends who bought a painting for $3,200 at a church auction and then sold it for more than 150 times that price are being pressured to share some of the money.

Painting Buyer Defends Actions
Rick O'Connor and Roy Gandhi-Schwatlo, of Dublin, and Dawn Ward, of Rindge, purchased the painting at an August 2003 auction to benefit the Dublin Community Church. They later put the painting on the auction block at Sotheby's in New York, where it sold in January for $489,600.

The roughly 13-inch by 11½-inch panel of the Madonna and child turned out to be the lost third of a 14th-century triptych painted by an unknown Sienese artist. It was donated to the auction by Jessie Hale, of Dublin, whose family had owned it for nearly 100 years.

Word of the painting's worth has spread around town, and some residents say the buyers have a responsibility to donate some of their new fortune to Hale and the church.

"The whole thing's just unfortunately slimy," said Charles Pillsbury, who volunteered at the auction. "It's just too bad."

O'Connor was on the committee that organized the auction and was responsible for acquiring paintings for the auction. He said he never spoke with Hale about her painting, and no one in his group knew its real value before buying it.

"We were all friends and decided we would buy the painting," he said Thursday. "We just thought it would be a great investment."

O'Connor said he and his friends considered offering some of the money to Hale but may change their minds because of the hostility they've encountered.

"We're basically innocent people here," he said. "Do you come back after you buy something at a yard sale and tell the owner, 'Oh, geez, we've got to give you back half of everything we've made on this product?'"

As members of the auction committee, O'Connor and Gandhi-Schwatlo spent weeks putting together a successful event, said committee chairman Tom Blodgett.

He called them "honest and honorable people," adding, "I hope that they will rethink their situation and make a personal gesture to the Dublin community."

Hale declined to comment to The Union Leader of Manchester. [/quote]

Are Aryan values the same as jew values? Since the guy who bought it was on the committee, that does look very slimey.

There is a long held concept of honor, for example, in the Manuscript Society and among high-value booksellers that one should return up to one third of an unexpected antiquity windfall to an unknowing seller.

That could have been operative in this case. I expect that the threesome sensed the painting was of some antiquity by the wood and the minerals in the paint, the general style etc. (I doubt they knew what it really was), yet the christinsanes were probably thrilled that their $200 piece of Jewsus junk garnered a big $3,200. for the church.

And then someone, likely a churchgoer, in my opinion, sent him a nasty email demand. Maybe he and the other two would have given over some money prior to that event. ...Probably not a third, but maybe a few thousand.

In any event, if the uncultured are so clueless that they cannot control their possessions (I am thinking of the original owner) then they should not whine, in my opinion....any more than one would after selling a piece of choice real estate at an undervalued market price- and this happens every day.

Every hamlet, small town and abandoned burg in this country has Jewsus churches standing. I don't want to hear their concepts of Aryanism or honor. The guy had the option to give up some money if he wanted- they'll make his life a nasty hell in that small town; the christinsanes will exact their revenge. I personally don't think he deserves it.

He acted like a jew.

The Christinsanes should know more about their own holies. So they'll be more certifiably insane.

Anyway, as you point out, he was on the christinsane committee himself.

[QUOTE=Vlad]Acting like a jew is using guilt to swindle someone out of their ingenuity or hard earnings.[/QUOTE]

It's also offering to help, as this guy did when he volunteered, but then screwing you over.

Jew = Judas.

As I said that you had ultimately pointed out- he is a Jewsus freak who follows the Jew, Jewsus...just like Jorge Boosh. He emulates a Jew. Jewsus. OK?

Jesus was killed by the Jews for trying to get them to act right and quit being so money grubbing.

Might be interesting to discover how a $200 min. bid painting got up to $3,200. Sounds like someone had an idea it was valuable. Christians (see, I will capitalize it, if at the beginning of a sentence!) jewing each other. They learned it from their older brothers.

Is that where Chain learned to applaud it? Or did she learn it in Valhalla.

[QUOTE=Abzug Hoffman]He acted like a jew.[/QUOTE]

Youre absolutely right.

More money must be given to Kikestian churches so they can help more poor Somalians and Mexicans into this country. Gods will costs money, and we should all chip in and support the work of the Lord by giving money to our local Kikestian churches so they can do just that.

Last I checked, there weren't enough of the Shepards darker skinned flock in America, and that is obvisouly a sign of moral fialing on our part.

Racism is a sin, remember?
