"Unseen?"
Seems to be identical to the UK/International version, which pops up pretty frequently these days...

Agreed.  Here is my copy for comparison.

A real unicorn in Dan's sale, which went for less than $100, was the double-sided Usual Suspects "watch" style - very hard to find.

I think his $25 shipping strategy turned off a lot of buyers - several items went relatively low.  Don't understand why he doesn't just consign everything - he would come out ahead even with a somewhat higher commission.

$25, i got caught with my pants down and got charged $55.. if it turns up with $15 on the postage label i will leave him - feedback..

I won a poster from Dan - I paid for it but told him to keep it as I couldn't justify spending another $55 shipping - I had hoped to win a couple more posters.

He does clearly state the shipping charges - I just don't understand why they are so high when other Canadian sellers are able to ship for much less.

I know US to Canada only costs two dollars more than within the US.

I bid on a couple that I didnt get. I would have bid more on those and bid on more items but that shipping cost went into my thinking and it is out there.

It is pretty darn expensive shipping from Canada.  At least $20.  But for the extra $10-$15 you can get a poster from a legend like Dan, and for many who care about buying from highly esteemed people then, of course, the extra $ for shipping is worth it.  I can also see why people wouldn't spend so much on shipping from anyone, like this one I was watching.

A lot of stuff sold a lot cheaper than it should of last night. There was at least 10 items I would have easily upped 25% last night, but as much as I like Dan and his contributions and shipping quality, I refuse to get bent over and pay $25 for shipping. That is ridiculous, I dont care who I am buying from or how many posters are included at that price.

Gazuntite..

Thanks!

My guess is that the watch poster was recalled was due to the plot being given away? Keyser Soze is seen looking at his watch in the opening seen.

I won a poster from Dan -

i asked dan why postage is so high, and got this..

In all fairness all posters shipped by me are sent air mail with tracking..the cost for international has been as low as 32 and as high as $85...it's all over the map depending on where you live...with that being said I average out at 55 which covers "as many posters as you win" as outlined in the auction text...if you win one or 58 posters the price stays the same...

cheers

That doesn't really work, some people get a good deal, and others get ripped off.... This is why I stopped buying from the U.S.

This copy of an Argentinian OS for LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT has recently become available for sale. Would really like to have this on the wall, that is for sure.

The copy Heritage auctioned in March of 2009, sold for $41,825.00 (inc the 19.5% BP). This copy has a much more blue background and is more vibrant compared to the Heritage copy that looks more green and has a duller, more yellowed appearance.

Jeff

PS.. the current copy is a steal at only $35K!  ;)
