„ Best her Niemeyer, De prenten zijn vanmiddag in goede staat gearriveerd. Alleen al het uitpakken is een genot! Ze zien er prachtig uit (vooral The Idel ’prentice is een juweel) … Wat dat betreft, zijn eigenlijk alle prenten die u mij hebt toegezonde, van uitstekende kwaliteit … “
(Mijnheer P. E., 1. Februar 2008)
The character of the objects presented here, highly individual or even unique in many cases, makes it hardly helpful to quote a price in every case. For quite irrespective of this, undifferentiating comparison leads to misinformation. But that is just contrary to the expectations we make to the internet. In these cases please fax for a complete description along with the price. And, if necessary, ask for all the details elsewhere, too. This way you will not simply buy cheap but really worth its money. A maxim having proved to be true for myself on and on. For by now fifty years! It’s the best advice I can pass on to you. For I myself owe it to the legendarily rich, and hence very cautious, American banker J. Pierpont Morgan, “one of the largest collectors of all times.
Der vielfach höchst individuelle oder gar unikate Charakter der hier vorgestellten Objekte läßt es wenig hilfreich erscheinen, in jedem einzelnen Falle einen Preis zu nennen. Denn ganz unabhängig von diesem führt undifferenzierender Vergleich zu Fehlinformation. Das aber entspricht gerade nicht unseren an das Internet gestellten Erwartungen. Bitte faxen Sie in diesen Fällen wegen ausführlicher Beschreibung nebst Preisangabe und erfragen Sie solche gegebenenfalls auch anderwärts. Damit Sie nicht einfach billig kaufen, sondern wirklich preisgünstig. Eine Maxime, die sich mir selbst immer wieder bewahrheitet hat. Und das seit schon fünfzig Jahren! Es ist der beste Ratschlag, den ich Ihnen weitergeben kann. Denn verdanken tue ich ihn dem sagenhaft reichen und daher sehr vorsichtigen amerikanischen Bankier J. Pierpont Morgan, „einem der größten Sammler aller Zeiten.
