Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Taking a squint at it...

Description

A ceramic toucan shaped as a planter: a long banana-yellow beak with a red stripe and a black tip, a white face with a painted yellow eye, and brown glazed feathers. The body is hollow and open at the top, so it holds a small plant or a handful of pens.

The glaze has the crackle and drips you expect from an older piece. Close-ups show the face, the beak and the back. A tropical bird far from home, holding steady on a Chicago shelf.
