  1. It has nothing to do with servers overload - CAT has no more impact on indexed websites than a couple of standard users (and it's even less noticeable for the websites that contacted me to know how to optimize / speed up CAT indexing). They never provided any reason for blacklisting CAT, but it's probably more about their (very unique) "strategy".
  2. I see 54 items in the comic art section: https://comics.ha.com/c/search/results.zx?term=&dept=1938&auction_name=7364&mode=live&comic_category=3242
  3. Two consecutive panel pages by Zulli sold on ComicLink in 2018 for $1,927 and $1,578 (Sandman #71). The page after sold long before on Heritage (2013) for $1,135. . Another page sold on Anthony Snyder's website - also in 2018 - for $1,250 (#73). Sandman #72 page 3 was listed for sale at $5,000 on Scott Eder's website (once again in 2018). Much nicer than the previous ones, but I can't tell if someone bought it at this price.
  4. Indeed! For what it's worth, what you need is =40*POWER(10,FLOOR(LOG10(A),1)-1).
  5. So look at them on CAT, I find them for you . https://comicarttracker.com/hakes-auctions
  6. ComicArtTracker is a website dedicated to helping collectors find and track comic art for sale from more than 360 dealers, auction houses, marketplaces and artists websites all over the world. Instead of having to check all these websites manually, you just have to check one. Plus you can define a list of keywords and receive daily notifications by email when new listings match one of these keywords.
  7. Best place to (help you) find art for sale: my precious, definitely! https://comicarttracker.com/en One Site to rule them all, One Site to find them, One Site to bring them all and in the Lightness bind them Best place to sell: really depends on what you have to sell (quality and quantity) and what your priority is (price, time, energy...)
  8. I know you were asking more about US dealers, but many (most of) French and Belgian dealers have a physical gallery with openings, exhibitions, etc. I would say 12 of them in Paris + 3-4 more in other locations in France, and 3 in Brussels. Not comic book stores but galleries, as they are all dedicated to comic art (even if Daniel Maghen also has his own publishing house).
  9. Hi everyone, I'm a French comic art enthusiast who's been a part of this forum for a few years, although I've never formally introduced myself. My passion lies in collecting original comic art from both European and US artists. You might also know me as the creator of ComicArtTracker, a platform designed for fellow comic art collectors!
  10. Hi @WillKrypton, You're right, that's weird and one of the two websites is probably not uptodate... but unfortunately ComicArtTracker can only repeat what the websites say! https://cadencecomicart.com/art.php?page=19628 http://polishcomicart.pl/index.php?id_product=157&controller=product
  11. Lee Bermejo's bricks...
  12. Where are the links you're clicking on? Home page, calendar, notifications, search results, another page? Edit 1: ok, I think I found it, links from the "auction schedule" block on the home page are broken, thanks for pointing this out. I'll fix it quickly, in the meantime you can access Heritage auctions through Heritage calendar: https://comicarttracker.com/heritage-auctions Edit 2: links on homepage should be fixed - tell me if you find any other broken / non working link!
  13. Hello everyone, I wanted to inform you that I have just updated my website, ComicArtTracker. This update primarily focuses on internal improvements, enhancing the overall performance and user experience of the site while CAT onboards more and more users. It was also the scariest update I've ever done because I had to purchase additional disk space and "unmount" the existing disk to add that extra space - something like performing open-heart surgery without anesthesia. I did my best to test the new version beforehand, however, as with any update, there is always a possibility of unexpected issues or regressions. I'd really appreciate your help in keeping an eye out for any issues or glitches that you might come across while using ComicArtTracker. If you notice anything weird or if things aren't working as they should, please give me a shout and let me know right away. I appreciate your continued support and understanding as I strive to provide the best user experience on ComicArtTracker. Nico PS: hopefully you'll get your daily email in 10mn...
  14. 600 lots sold, 85% of them below $500 (and 35% below $100)
  15. In the meantime, you can use the filters ("recently listed") to narrow down your search results to the most recent ones:
  16. Yes, I had to deactivate the "discard" option for now (it consumes a lot of resources) but I'm working on it. Sorry for the inconvenience!
  17. Hi everybody, I've updated ComicArtTracker to fix a few bugs and prepare for the next big version to come. Please tell me if there is anything wrong!
  18. I don't understand what you mean by "small-art panel page" but at least two panel pages already sold for higher prices: https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/story-page/john-romita-sr-and-mike-esposito-the-amazing-spider-man-40-story-page-6-green-goblin-original-art-marvel-/a/7274-91078.s?type=DA-DMC-ComicArtTracker-Comics-7274-06162022 https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/story-page/john-romita-sr-and-mike-esposito-amazing-spider-man-50-story-page-10-kingpin-original-art-marvel-/a/7270-91046.s?type=DA-DMC-ComicArtTracker-Comics-7270-04072022
  19. I have to "fix" the 25% BP for International auctions manually and forgot to do it here, it's now done... thanks for reminding me ;-) As for the auctions end date, that's something that I already tried to fix but with no success for now. Heritage provides an end date which is 13/03/2023 CET or 12/03/2023 PST but when it's divided on several days I only have the final one :-/
  20. In fact, the 737 lots sold for $297,221 (58 lots above $1000 and 195 below $100)... which makes a really weak average of $400 / lot!
  21. Did you already try to play with ChatGPT? It's an AI-powered chatbot. I was curious to see what it could answer to my request: "Write a product brief for a website aggregating all original comic art for sale on any dealer, marketplace or auction house website"... and its answer is really close to what ComicArtTracker looks like! First try: Second try ("Regenerate response"):
  22. Thank you to everyone who answered the survey (~400 answers). I'll let you know the main results as soon as I have some time. I was surprised to discover that some users still had problems with the daily emails on mobile. Maybe it's Apple / Safari, maybe it's the incognito mode, maybe some privacy settings removing a part of the link or a specific behavior of the "browsers" nested within email apps on mobile. Unfortunately none of these users gave me his email, so I can't ask more questions directly. But I investigated some more, and had a new idea to try to circumvent this behavior and put it in place in today's email. So if you still had some issues with the daily email recently, please PM me to tell me if it was better or not today (and the days to come). I need your feedback to continue to irmprove ComicArtTracker!
