    Just put in your max bids and then go and do your stuff. Next day you see if you won something or not.

    That is how we Europeans do it. Put bids in before going to bed.

     

    I prefer to bid live. The two I won were at the top of my snipe max, and I’ve no doubt they would have gone higher if I bid earlier.

    I've been checking their site the last five years....I never remembered seeing prices listed for art.

    Are you sure this price was from two years ago?

    That screengrab looks like it’s from a price request email response. That’s pretty much the only way to get prices from them beyond con post-its.

    You think that's bad- during my collecting years, it was always somewhere in the back of my head that Fishler's most desired art was also my most desired (silver age Infantino Flash).

    You think that’s bad… a lot of my wheelhouse is the same as coollines, so I know I’m being bid up, but gotta take it lest it ends up with them. :cry:

    So... we are supposed to accept the integrity of a Chinese wall he put up with the guy who saved him from bankruptcy. Well, that's fine -- just don't expect me to participate in CAF's pricing data collection, ever.

    To be fair to Bill, he said no investors have access to that information, and I have no reason not to believe him. He had no obligation to address anything, but he was extremely forthright. I just linked the thread since the question was asked who else was an investor.

    Because forums are outdated today, especially as they typically tend to be cesspools filled with nepotism, so they're a difficult entry point for new participants, and they're a pretty poor way of keeping up to date.

    Keep in mind this forum is very negative of dealers and they make up the majority of CAFs business and live shows, which is probably why a lot of shade is thrown this way.

    To the bolded part - not all dealers. But yes, when one of the CAF co-owners has been called out here after admitting he shilled his own auctions, I’d imagine they wouldn’t be huge fans.

    I’d imagine a lot of it is about collectors engaging where the art and artists are. Facebook forums have a lot of direct artist interaction - helpful for networking and art opportunities. I’ve gotten a lot of heads ups from there that've lead to some good purchases. I like this board and check in daily, but… there’s very little art posted for sale that’s not posted elsewhere and very little artist interaction - can’t think of any regulars other than stinkininkin. I’ve gotten good info and backstories here, but probably even better hot goss striking up FB messenger convos. When there’s so many options for art dialogue, you gotta prioritize…
