Why are you asking $8,500 when the price on the tag says $5500? I'm not an collector of ancient artifacts by any means, so maybe I'm missing something but maybe you should've at least hidden the price tag?

Price tag on the satyr legs says 5500 because right now we are having an estate sale, and that price is if its packaged in with other pieces.8500 if sold solo.

They bought them through Sotheby's and/or Christys.

And now they are selling via TeamSpeed? Did I miss when those auction houses shuttered their doors? Why not use a venue that should get you top dollar for them, cuz this aint it.
