[bolly92]

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum,this is my story 2 weeks ago i bought a small Box with Decorations inside in a real State but under the Box there was a White Album with professionally Pictures with the Tag KIM DAWSON and Loren Holt,when i opened the album first page says tag"if you are interested in obtaining a copy of one of the pictures in the Book Contact" Kim Dawson then "A Generous Reward will be Paid to any who found this book and returns intact i already Call them and they toll me where in the hell i get this and blah blah,they toll me the Artist Loren Holt Will May Contact me but i already wait Few days with no answer My question is is Legal for me to sell these Professional Pictures On line Like Ebay and do they worth Something or Just Nothing.

illegal.

who know why?

After fighting through and attempting to understand your 6-line, single sentence (why?), I have to agree with Phil. There is no reason for the book to instruct you to return it unless it was not meant to get out. They did however, offer a reward, so you'll at least get something from them. Try calling again.

There is no reason whatsoever for you to comment on the syntax of any post in this international forum. Exercise a bit of wisdom, eh?

After spending only a few minutes searching the internet, this Loren Holt may be a hair and makeup artist who works with Kim Dawson:

The book you have is a portfolio of her with the agency. Many of the pages you posted look like they were just torn out of magazines, so they probably aren't worth much to anyone other than those directly involved in creating them or those looking to hire the makeup artist.

Try contacting the agency again (http://www.kimdawsonagency.com/models_contact_us) and see if they get back to you. If they don't within a week or so, then do whatever you want with it. I still don't think you'll get much/any money for it.

Hello Moeronn i believe these are like Professional pictures Because on the Back have the logo Polaroid Professional Paper, i mean couple years back i sold 4 Pictures in ebay original Condition from Horse Seabiscuit and they pay me $250 for all 4 ,i know these are very diferent but maybe the likes Models or Something.

The OP did better than I could in any 2nd language.

Perhaps your imperfect english is to blame for them not taking you seriously? I would suggest that you find a friend who speaks perfect English to call them and explain this to them.

I'm quite sure they'd respond if they understood. After all, this is worth far more to them than anyone else. I can't imagine this would be worth much to anyone not involved... Wish you the best!

my wife she she speak fluent english ,she already talk to them but the same they toll her ,where did she get the album and where and they ask my wife few other question like number but thats all, i will post the pictures in ebay and if they give me something will be Great i least to buy some food for my dog. lol

You should do the right thing. Return the book with a note. You cannot possibly be that hard up to try to sell these images on Ebay (when they would probably not sell anyway). It obviously is important to someone else which is why they placed the note inside. Take the high road and return it. Be the Good Guy with a clear conscience. What if it was your property?
