I was checking Bruce's auctions and noticed that they end in 20 days.  I also noticed that people keep bidding and overbidding each other.  Can someone explain to me why?  We all know that bidding happens within the last 5 minutes, so why are people getting at it so early?

Sometimes I watch something go up and up, and I’m like, stop, I’ll get it no matter what, so stop making it more expensive for me.

It's called price discovery. Many other collectors have a budget when they bid, and during the course of the auction must make choices and narrow down the list of items they are interested in. If they know piece A is going to sell for more than price X early on, then then can concentrate on piece B and C instead.

Not everyone gets to go T style - just bid on everything you want at the last day and let the auction house add it up and send a bill later.

This is exactly what I've said previously. "Price discovery" didnt know there was a  term for it.

Here's another possibility: fantasy russian roulette. This is when you press the bid button on a super expensive poster you would never be able to afford and watch whether someone will bid on top of you.  The closer you get to the end of the auction the higher the adrenaline rush.

The "fantasy" part comes from a realization that if no one raises the bid and you end up having to pay for the poster, your wife would be beside herself and possibly leave you, hence the "hmmm what if I was single again today..."

I do Fantasy Bid a lot hahaha, but more to raise the price on someone I don't like.  I will say 75% of the time, the other party ends up paying way way more than they should have, and 25% I'm stuck with something I didn't really want in the first place.  What gives me more satisfaction....  hmmm

Multiple reasons.  Sometimes they went after me on an auction and made me lose it hahaha so I make them pay by increasing their future auctions.  All in good fun.  That's the problem with names.  You know who your opponent is.

I was just checking Bruce's auction today, and there are a few items I like, but they are all signed.  Since I do not believe signatures to be authentic, I was wondering if there is a way to remove ink from posters without painting over it.

Theres at least one poster (includine Valerie) in most of the lots I'd buy

Should anyone get a LOT let me know which one you got and I'll make you an offer on a poster or two so you can recoup some of your cash!

DJJeffreyLA is NOT Potokar. Did that guy actually collect or buy anything?

This is a question many people have asked me over the years, and I never got an answer.  I knew he never bought from Bruce, since Bruce couldn't stand him and vice versa.  He posted a couple of things over the years, but really, I don't think he was a collector.  First mistake.

I recall seeing around 15 or 20 purchases. I remember because they would each strike me as they were, in my eyes, not too appealing, but each person has their taste and budget, so good on them.

There was one new forum member who was keen about posters but turned out all he collected was poster images (.jpg's) collected from the interwebs. Thus you can have a good interest in posters without having to buy (or even show to the public) much.

Hahaha I was trying to say something like that, and now I can :)  He really had shitty taste :)  Thanks for opening this can of worms.

Jeff did though post a lot of poster images of very expensive and rare posters so he did have an eye for good poster art
