Missed several points? His point was -- I just auctioned this for $486, I'd like to buy 3 more of them for $300! My first point was that this poster was worth closer to $20 than to $486. Bruce's offer and your explanation seem to reinforce this. If this really is the case, the purchaser just got reamed! You should send them a letter of congratulations. I'm not saying he didn't bring it upon himself, I'm just saying ... My second point was that -- if we assume that a poster is actually worth $486, what is a fair offer from a "dealer" for that poster -- is it really less than 1/3? Because if that's the current rate, I want in! Damn! For some posters I might even go as high as 4/10. As for your explanation, it would make sense for a dealer, but Bruce is first and foremost and auctioneer, not a dealer. Sure, he deals, sure he collects, but his bread and butter is auctioneer (sell other peoples stuff, take a cut, everyone is happy). You know very well the issues when a auctioneer mixes auctioning with dealing (price manipulation, overgrading, misrepresentation, competition with your consignors, etc.). C'mon, he owns the auction site -- how would you feel if you just bought this for $486 and you found out he was offering all of the underbidders copies for $200?!?!

Evan I think you are missing several points about Bruce's offer #1 Bruce is a dealer. he is offering a dealer purchase price so he can resell and make money #2 Bruce obviously believes he has at least 2 bidders who will bid on the poster, but he probably doesn't believe the poster will achieve $486 again because the top bidder has just won himself a copy, so he's moving down to the level that the 2 underbidders would likely bid up to, which is probably closer to $300. #3 after Bruce sells the next copy, the value continues to go down as he hopes to sell one to the #3 & #4 bidders. maybe $200 #4 then he hopes to sell one to the #4 & #5 bidders and again the price goes down to their level. so $300 for 3 copies of a poster that I certainly couldn't get $486 for (and obviously Moe Everett couldn't get $20 for his copy) is more than likely - very fair. He isn't offering to buy the poster as a collector and your comparison of offering 1/3 for certain 30s-40s posters is most certainly not in line with Bruce's offer as what you're going to ask for is probably head and shoulders better than Nazi She-Bitch. Also, if you were to consign to Bruce 3 copies of this poster and he got $300, $200 & $150 for them, you would receive $222, $144 and $108 or a total of $474, but you would have to wait a probable 12 months for all 3 copies to be sold, so his offer of $300 again is reasonably fair taking into consideration these factors Rich At 09:03 AM 8/18/2009, Evan Zweifel wrote: >Fair?
