1. when you buy with the intention to restore OR NOT to restore, the
amount you bid is affected.
2. if you buy without intending to restore, condition plays a more
important factor.
3. people buying from a smaller poster image on ebay that would not be
inclined to restore might not bid, whereas someone who restores doesn't care.
the post was to get a perspective of the thought process of buyers. to
some, condition doesn't matter. some only buy VG cond or better.
i have sold posters on ebay where the buyer has told me in advance that he
will restore.......but when he received the poster, the condition was
better than he thought and framed it "as is". (this happened to me recently
and i just got an email from the buyer to this effect---with a non-ebay
transaction----so when we were negotiating the price, he factored in the linen
process cost.)
the converse scenario i am sure is, also, likely on ebay with smaller
images.
of course..............some will never bid on a poor cond....
etc

how many buyers buy a poster knowing in advance that they will
RESTORE/LINEN?
i suppose dealers & restorers have this in mind.
