Of course, we won't hear the end of every story out there, but I'm
pretty optimistic, that the majority of 'recorded' sales actually go
through. Of course, sometimes the same copy of a poster comes back to
auction, but I'm under the impression that quite a number of high-
priced posters are not nearly as rare as they are (were?) assumed to be.
Be that as may, what do you guys think of this $2,000 poster:
I think I've seen it somewhere before, but $2,390 for an R70
halfsheet on A SPACE ODYSSEY? And only one bidder.

Remember that items that "sell" for high prices often return to the
auction block in the very next auction (or a couple of auctions
later). Maybe the buyers never paid, or maybe the consignors bought
their own items, or whatever. We are never told "the rest of the
story".
But LOTS of people have been sucked in to buying a poster for say,
$2,000 because it is a bargain since it previously "sold" for
$4,000, when it may well be that the $4,000 "sale" was never
consummated.
