Daves fancy auction page certainly looks impressive, eye catching, nice colors, well designed. Even if he stretches the truth somewhat:
"A long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale."
How about 11 days!
Yes, thank you for mentioning this little sales tactic, I forgot to mention it.
"A long time", that is something...in this case it should read "There are dozens on ebay right now for 10-20 bucks but you want THIS one".
Bruce, that is a great metaphor in this case, Dave is PT Barnum for sure. And like Barnum, Dave makes money selling sensationalism, but now via paper with imagery on it. Clowns on a trapeze = posters now.
Another thing to consider is these people that buy material that they can get anywhere after literally one minute of research for over a hundered less. Peace of mind on a Jaws insert, yes, but peace of mind on Watchmen? Scent of a Woman? Casino Royale? People amaze me in this regard.
I wonder if this buyer read the feedback between the Dave/Dale connection on his poster and what he thinks...
