Rich, what happened with the PF Lucky Strikes poster? Haven't you sold that joker 2 times already? Geez Louise, that has to be the most notorious Lucky Strikes poster around!

I only sold it on 8-24 and the winning bidder had made a mistake in bidding, so I cancelled the sale.
It never left the building

That was mighty kind of ya to cancel the sale. I've just seen it several times in different auctions, and it's kinda fun watching it go on the block numerous times, no pun intended.

Boy, between Bruce and Rich this week, there's a whole lot of nice posters on the block.

Meh.

Yep I'd like to get one of the S2 litho reproduction posters at EMP but the best ones will blow up at the end and you can buy most of them for $325 from the S2 Art Group directly.

And I don't understand your big bid on the HP one sheet at MPB when the quad is way better and much cheaper.

Yeah, I'm at 150 on it and because of it's rarity that's ok. I don't think it will end up with me, though. There's a few out there with more of a willingness to spend on this one than I. It will likely command double or tripple my bid.

Gentlemen, for various reasons, I'll defer arguing with you until after this auction is over. But after it's over, the image below will change to something relevant:

I don't understand it either. $150 for what's essentially a badly photoshopped poster. At least the Struzan is hand drawn.

But then again, I don't understand much these days, especially after seeing what some of Bruce's posters sold for. All I know is that I'm so happy to be sitting on so many of these posters (so many I got for free), because if I had to start fresh today, I could not afford shit.

This WOTW half-sheet is kind of like game 6 of the World Series. It looks like it's over and then the lead changes hands, with lots of new bidders! But it looks done now.

It has cracked $20K. Still nothing compared to Rich's HP unicorn.

I never sold my Unicorn as low as $20,000.. but I've given it away on a number of ocassions when the gal was really cute

Louie, it sure is exciting. I just hope the consignor remembered to take his medication today!

It might be years and years before another one comes up in a no reserve honest auction (or any auction, for that matter)!

I guess the higher-end market on this piece is drying up.
A full $3,000+ less than the lowest previous auction price on this piece (for a badly faded one a few years ago).
I'm not sure who Halcarter is, but a sincere congratulations are in order to him for picking up a relative bargain.
I know the underbidder is a good friend who was actually bidding on a 2nd copy for his collection, and I'm very surprised he didn't go higher considering the usual prices on this piece (I know of a west-coast dealer who paid $24,000 for one last year).

Bruce · « **Reply #1620 on:** October 30, 2011, 04:40:31 PM »

LIke I always say, there are always tons of bargains at http://www.eMoviePoster.com

See, Thierry?

I disagree, Bruce. I was looking at a few Spielberg inserts you had, but there is no way I'm going to spend that kind of money on inserts. What is that, $90 for Temple of Doom? I'm dumbfounded. For an insert?

Bruce · « **Reply #1622 on:** October 30, 2011, 05:23:42 PM »

Thierry, any price I get, private dealers can get far more. Just ask them!

There are always tons of bargains at http://www.eMoviePoster.com (and never a buyers premium, fuzzy photo, fuzzier condition grade, and never rip-off shipping).

Bruce

If my prices seem high to YOU, then maybe you should consider consigning some unwanted items to us (and join our 839 other happy consignors)?

Bruce

eatbrie · « **Reply #1623 on:** October 30, 2011, 05:50:26 PM »

Your prices are not high, Bruce. They are the prices of the market. It is the market that I don't understand. In this time of austerity, I am dumbfounded that people can spend so much on some items. I am dumbfounded that people still have so much disposable income. You're not the one I'm criticizing here, since you are one of the few who lets the market speak.

Oh... and I don't sell. It's just too much work.
