Realistically, the stills were the areas where there were some real benchmarks set. But Profiles has found that market and done well with it. The posters appeared to bring good money but there were some real steals there as there were many very good, more contemporary titles in large quantities! Some lots I felt were more on the retail side but many of the poster lots sold for wholesale prices as there was so very much material. It was a good sale for a massive amount of material.

More power to those folks. 2 buyers each spent almost 500K each on keybook & top quality stills lots If you didn't go to the pre view you didn't know what there was. I was there and there was a lot of great stuff to be had. some of it I won and Sean too who I was also bidding for but yes. in general the prices were high unless you really examined the lots like Sean & I did and Heritage and several other buyers to be honest.. Ihope we see another auction like it sometime soon Rich================= At 11:05 AM 12/15/2008, Bubba Despres wrote: >I am just wondering if anyone would like to comment on the >outrageous prices paid by some people on this past weekends Profiles >In History auction. > >I only won one lot and the other ones I though I bid extremely high >on, only to be outbid. > >Anyone else have a similar experience?? > >Louie > > 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.
