Hi, I need advise on posting picture of a large Metal Wall Sculpture here, to see if anyone has an idea what my beginning bid should be. Thanks so much in advance,

The starting bid can be the least you will accept for it. What you really need to figure out is how much are you going to charge the winning bidder to pack and ship that thing.

Yup. How big is it, anyway? If it were mine, and I didn't think it would bring much, I'd donate it to a thrift shop and take an honest writeoff on it. The packing and shipping could be a huge nightmare for what it will bring on Ebay.

I sold a wall sculpture that was similar to this one a while back. It looks like a "C. Jere" piece to me. Is it signed in black on any of the leaves with this signature? I would call it brass or bronze and some might even call it an Eames Era wall hanging sculpture. I certainly wouldn't start it out at 99 cents, more like $15+ to start and see what happens. I remember that I shipped mine via FedEx and it wasn't too terribly expensive.
Good luck with it.
