In the end, much of it depends on how much you pay. There was a recent incident where a distraught man bought a fake '1930s African-American woodcut' for $30 (It was an actual handmade print and sharp looking too, but the fakery involved the date and artist). I told him that, even as a fake, if he planned on hanging it on the wall, it was probably worth $30.

It's kind of like with my mom. I don't worry about her buying fakes. She's so 'frugal', with her file of coupons and rebates, that if something turns out to be a coutnerfeit she still probably got a deal.
