I try not to get involved with nonsense but this is beyond me. The buyer paid what he wrote a check for to a seller or the auction house. The seller received what he got from the auction house in a check. I just bought a poster from heritage for $1200 plus the buyers premium and the shipping charge to be added. Anyone who thinks I paid less needs math lessons. If you are trying to value a poster based on prices hammered, prices realized after additional charges,etc., you are tilting at windmills. Prices at any given moment are only an indication of the values at that particular time and a "guide" for the future. There is a major difference between an auction house that advertises well in advance, publishes a beautiful book and holds a live auction which includes bidders from all over via telephone, the floor, the internet and faxes, as opposed to a person not known (ebay hides sellers identities) who puts a poster on ebay for a week and hopes at least two people will engage in a bidding war.
