I wonder how long the record will hold?

What is this about, an old story or new.

I guess I shouldn't have bitten

Oops sorry, thought I pasted it in the original post.

It is not an "old story", as it just happened.

The poster sold for the most money that poster has ever sold for, and it was only in "fair to good" condition.

I don't get it... with 1000 auctions a week, is this the only poster that sold higher than it has done in the past.

By the sound of this announcement I thought you had sold a poster for many $100,000's

Ha ha ha, funny Bruce.

The title of this post is almost as ludicrous as some others I've read recently. Nice!!!

Congratulations on the record - great way to start off the year!

Good one Bruce

Must admit, I too was believing something went for squillions.

Anyway, as records go, in the poster world I am sure it is something to note.

skyjackers · « **Reply #8 on:** January 17, 2018, 05:10:32 AM »

I guess this is another joke that I don't get.

How can it be the most this poster has ever sold for when the listing states it's the first time you've sold it? Wouldn't it always hold that record until you sell another? Again, I think I/we are missing something here!

Simes · « **Reply #9 on:** January 17, 2018, 05:34:56 AM »

I think what he means here is that he has reviewed all the other poster auction site histories, and his price is the most it has gone for in that respect.

skyjackers · « **Reply #10 on:** January 17, 2018, 05:38:45 AM »

Oh I see. Well done to Bruce and T for a new record then, (although I'm sure T would prefer not to hold this record!)

That's how I understood it too. Well done Bruce and T

A way to underline the importance of selling less crap and go for unique items

Wait, Thierry paid the highest price ever for a poster?!? What are you trying to do give him a heart attack?!?

crowzilla · « **Reply #13 on:** January 17, 2018, 12:17:57 PM »

I guess in the long run most see it as funny and not a big deal that Emovieposter willingly keeps a commercial reprint in their archives.
I always understood that to be against everything Emovie tries to do.

Armin (Posteroid) who most will agree is a Japanese poster expert (since obviously I am not), has now also posted agreeing that the Godzilla poster is a commercial reprint.

But hey, if Bruce needs to save face and preserve his $76 dollar sale, so be it.

Well, I actually didn’t research it much. I usually check Bruce’s auctions the morning of the sale, but in this case, it was less than an hour before the sale. I collect Grace Kelly, I had never seen this poster, and I wanted it. At $850, I’m quite okay being the highest bidder.

I think it’s all a joke, but if it’s not, I’d like to know how Bruce gets his info. I checked this morning and it seems neither he nor Heritage have ever sold it.

Nor has it sold recently on eBays; .com, .co.uk or .it.

Just messing with you. It’s a gorgeous design and must be impressive at that size to boot.

A quick search online offered up this other copy that was sold at some point. No details of when it sold, who sold it or for how much, was provided, however. Maybe a little more digging will offer up those answers.

Is there a way to look at past auctions sales?

Yup - to the right of the search box is the word Advanced. Pop in there and you can tick the boxes Sold and / or Completed. Then click Search.

Sold seems to do the trick.

But even if it turns out it DIDN'T sell for the most money EVER, this topic will remain on AllPosterForum forever, because that is how it is here.

I think everyone on here gets your point - you have two threads going and are now posting on another thread - move on!!!!!

Good to see you back posting Bruce, well done on the sale and nice pick up T
