Won a couple of auctions but didn't realize they don't ship. Anyone live in New Orleans or nearby that would be willing to pick up a couple of prints at the auction house, pack them, and ship to me?

Will pay.

Thanks for the offer but that might be a little late unfortunately. I was able to find a couple of recommendations for packers/shippers in the area, sounds like $90 to pack and ship to me. Not super cheap but not terrible, considering I have no other options really.

It was some antique furniture auction or something but they had some random art prints in the middle (Alex Monopoly, Ben Frost, etc), put in lowball bids on a couple of Mahaffey prints and ended up winning them.

There were a few more in the auction but I have already bought way too much recently (Harrington, Micallef, Paul Insect, Supine, the new Bast).

Wondering why they were auctioning off basically brand new prints for what I assume was less than face? the seller prolly bought too much fudge too. Luls.
