Re: [MOPO] Lawrence Pricing !!

Hey Sean and all,    Yes, you are correct on the $8050, but I wasn’t sure if that included the buyers premium, etc. The copy that went for $4600 was listed as a 5.0 condition, which is considerably lesser condition than Ed's. As we all know, though, condition reporting is a very subjective item. From all appearances, Ed's looks to be in spectacular condition. Now, I know "spectacular" isn't the normal condition vernacular but I'm old school and that means mint or near mint to me!  I see your point also, but I guess it's always a matter of semantics.   Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean Linkenback To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 10:14 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Lawrence Pricing !! Actually, Heritage had a copy in the November, 2004 auction (not quite two years ago) which sold for $4,600 (sale #607, lot # 19220) that is probably in condition similar to Ed’s. The near mint copy from three years ago sold for $8,050 – well short of “almost $9,000”. But your point is well-taken.  Yes, this poster is being offered at less than the absolute highest price this poster has reportedly sold for in the past. I think the comment might have been more directed at the fact that the asking price is hardly in line with an item “I wish I could keep”, but that is not to say it isn’t attractive to someone and Ed has already stated that people are welcome to contact him privately.     From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Heim Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 12:37 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] Lawrence Pricing !!   Hey Gang,    I don't think Ed's price is so out there.  This poster sold for almost $9000 three years ago at a Heritage auction.  I can't remember what auction house it was, but I was on the phone bidding on one about 2 years ago and it went for over $12,000. Of course, both of those copies were in mint condition as Ed has stated his is. I'm sure he has negotiating room, but I don't think he is that out of line with the price. This is a valuable, hard to find poster.   Sue Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
