Did anyone bid on this?

Did anyone here bid on this scroll by Matsumura Keibun. It is a scroll of some water plant in a water pool with two dragonflys. One in flight and one on the leaf?

If I don't know where it is, how can I bid on it.........

It "was" an ebay auction that closed Tuesday.

I had it on my "watch" list and decided not to bid at the last minute... You?

Oh yea......This is a very important piece of Keibun art. I can't believe there weren't more bids. I have bid on twelve lessor pieces this month and not won any. Then this one came up and I really wanted it and I snagged it fairly easy.

It looks beautiful in the photo. Do you feel comfortable buying scrolls on ebay? Are you going to use it in a display this year?

Grats Smoke!

Nice. Glad you got it Al, you'll use it to it's fullest potential. Buying scrolls on Ebay is the way to go. For some reason though, I seem to shy away from scrolls painted with color. Not sure if its personal preference or a rule I once heard about display with bonsai...
