I have anecdotally heard of some sellers being able to negotiate getting a portion of the buyer's premium back, but I would presume that's for those with very big ticket items and/or very strong relationships. Not sure if that's something that's still done, and it's never happened with anything I've ever consigned. That exclusion aside, you're right as far as the concept. The "buyer's premium" is really a misnomer; in practice and as it relates to your net payout (the number that really matters), the seller pays it. Example: if you look in their archives and see a book that sold for $12k, the seller's payoff started at $10k. Then, their selling fees are deducted from that $10k. You could take a lower gross price from another selling house and still end up with more net proceeds at the end of the day due to that dynamic. My experience reflects that: for items in the range of the OP's books, anything extra that might shown up as a higher selling result didn't really translate to extra cash in my pocket, but YMMV. Out of HA, Clink, and MCS, MCS has been the best fit for me in terms of net results, customer service, and timely payment, but none of the three have been "bad", per se. I haven't tried CC or Bob Storms yet. Hope this helps!

He regrets not taking it further. It's a few cargo pockets short of a Liefield, which also happens to be one of the notes on my psych evaluation -

Anyone have any experience owning pieces done with copic markers? The medium is outside my wheelhouse, and while I know they're not archival, I saw this and was a bit surprised at just how fast this piece started fading. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanillaarts.com/blog/prevent-copic-fade%3fformat=amp Does anyone have any experience owning a piece done in comics? If so, how do you store/display it, and is the kind of fading above typical?

Gene's rendition of a suit of armor doing the splits and immediately regretting it, agonizing expression and all, I found to quite classical. I'd have the exact same expression if I tried that. -

Heritage September 2022 comic and art auction
Legion of Goom replied to drdonaldblake1's topic in Original Comic Art
$90k with juice. Looks like that's a record for a public McKean Sandman cover, nearly double the last one I could find. No idea if any have traded privately for more. -
