She even accomodated plastics in her designs, producing colors and
shapes never seen before. A few years ago, her pieces could of been brought relativley cheaply, now they are in great demand and consequently extremely expensive. No way your ever going to find one in a fleamarket!

Style refers to the tone, attitude, and appropriateness for the reading audience that a writer takes into consideration while writing.

There are several style problems in the paragraph in question. I don't want to answer the question for you, but I'll give you an examples. Then you can think about, make some changes to the paragraph, and resubmit it for us to look at for you.

The very last sentence of the paragraph is very inappropriate for any formal writing situation. It would be passable for a casual conversation.

In the first place "No way" is not professional, mature language. There are many, better ways to express that concept. Furthermore, "your" should be "you are," but the writer should not use the second person in the first place.

You will find spelling and capitalization errors. "Could of" is a serious error.There are other wrong words. It doesn't usually sound good to have two adverbs ending in "ly" together.

You take it from here and then post it so we can check it for you.

tnikA few years ago, her pieces could of been brought relativley cheaply,

You missed a few.

tnikbut we shouldn't use you in formal writing,

"You" can be used as a pronoun in formal writing.
In scientific articles, the impersonal "one" would generally be a better choice.
