    Just went to use a tool I often due to keep up on new pieces for sale, Comic Art Tracker and it's 'not found' etc.  Just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about a relaunch or reboot or reimagining of just a straight 'poof'...

    Uhh, two posts below yours is a thread on it. But here’s the link. 

     

    Art available for trade only... why ??

    I’d never list art as trade only.

    Having said that, there are definitely pieces in my collection I’d only trade. Why?

    • I don’t need the money more than the art
    • I'd have to pay more than I did originally to get another example, and the way the market is, it would probably end up being more than I get for selling
    • Some pieces I’d want could probably only be pried loose with trade bait

    Comic Art Commission how long is too long and what to do

    Without you naming the artist, it’s hard to say what you should do. As grape said, there are definitely some well known deadbeats. 

    I don’t stress about commissions. I’ve rarely had an artist meet a date that they quoted, so I stopped asking. I’ll get it when I get it. I usually send an email checking in every month or so. Sometimes I get a response, sometimes I don’t. I never try to seem impatient or antagonist. Not because I don’t want to be blacklisted, but more because I don’t want them sending me something sub par just to get me off their backs. I’ve had artists turn around in a month, some closer to a year. I’ve heard stories about way longer. Commissions overall to me are an exercise in patience, but you do you. If you get the feeling that you’re getting screwed, put them on blast. Otherwise, just keep checking in now and then. 2c

    I just don’t get this market sometimes. This page was put up on CAF about two weeks ago by a different seller for $13K if I’m remembering correctly. Now it’s for sale from the new owner for ‘taking offers’.

    Somebody got a discount waiting for open market. 13K, to 16K, to Clink 8601.

    It’s always a feel it out type thing. I did a larger purchase a few months back off CAF, and paid F&F with no stress. Hadn’t dealt with the seller previously, but they’ve been active since 2011 with some decent pieces, so I figured they’re in the scene enough that I’d hav some recourse if there had been an issue. But it was all good. 

    Feelings on Unpublished Pages?

    A bunch of unpublished Michael Bair X-Men pages were auctioned late last year. They were intended for distribution along with the sports magazine Pro Action #4, but that never happened. I was happy to get a page with Spiral and Mojo, who are always a fun team, and I guess they're planning to disrupt the Super Bowl or something.

    I’ve seen a lot of those pages around for sale the last year or two, and none of them struck me. But this one is rad. Congrats.
