Not unusual.
I'm waiting for the results of the estate sale after I die
Thanks for the clarificationI believe Ari is indeed correct, and Rich is incorrect (couldn't resist)
Shucks, bound to happen one day.I asked because I bought a poster for $aud30 and sold for usd$1000 within a week, and this was when Aussie dollar was close to $usd.50 so, it was big profit % wise. But I got it cheap, so doesn't count.
That's one serious flip but now inquiring minds want to know...which poster?
Thinking about the King Kong insert and the $$ loss the seller took after holding a top piece for more than a decade reminded me about an article I read in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend on the art market http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/07/business/record-prices-mask-a-tepid-art-market.html?hpw&rref=business&_r=0.Made me curious, I wonder what the highest price someone has paid for a piece for their own collection and then later sold for a profit?Not like a DeLuca acting as a buyer and purchasing for a client, but a real collector paying top dollar for a piece and then selling it years later for a profit.
Ok my best was $800 and sold it for $5000.
Oh yeah....It was a Hobbit lenticular of Gollum.
What was the turnaround time for this one, Jason? Meaning, how much time between when you bought it, then later sold it for that nice profit.
2 days...which was before it even got to me in the mail.
