    This is a truth I have recently learned the hard way! I had only one
    gallery, and they never sold all that much (on consignment), but I
    liked them, felt I had a good, friendly relationship with them. I
    was with them for years, so I never bugged them to start buying
    instead of taking consignment. Just before Christmas, they gave me
    back my work. They said they had overbought, and had to sell the
    stuff they had their money sunk in. So sorry! Needless to say,
    should they ever decide they want me back, they are welcome to buy
    anything they like for cash!
