Not quite the same thing, but for those that signed up for the HA accept offers program (or whatever it's called) have you been getting a bunch of low ball offers? I turned it on and years ago I got a great offer that I accepted, and the seller didn't follow up Within the last week I got 3-4 offers from items that sold like 8-10 years ago. The first one or two I just said no or sold, but the last 2 I just decided to counter at 2 to 3x of FMV. They were instantly rejected Malvin

ah, ok, I interpreted it wrong. I just assumed when you said you needed to sell you consigned it. But now its clear you sold it and someone else along the line consigned it. Malvin

Oh! Sorry, I must have misread something, I thought you consigned it. Sorry about that. Malvin

Sorry to hear Yoram Malvin

I'm really surprised they got taken down. They almost ever are. But that is good! Malvin

Boy these are bad... https://www.ebay.com/sch/colfo_45/m.html?item=294220638807&hash=item4480eaaa57%3Ag%3A7KMAAOSw4ydgxi-L&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Malvin

If selling a piece causes that much self reflection and potential trauma, I think it's telling you that you aren't ready to sell. So that's how I would deal with it. I won't sell if I feel what you describe and only sell when those feelings don't exist. Malvin

Hi Folks, I put up a few pieces FS on my CAF classifieds. Take a look and let me know if anything interest you! Otherwise they will probably go to comiclink, so buy now! link to my CAF Gallery Thanks for looking and happy collecting! Malvin

Hi Folks, I just uploaded Michael Cho Batman colour piece! I bought it as his "warmups" but they look pretty finished to me! CAF Link Malvin

if you thought it would go for close to 3K you should have bid 2.9K instead But just kidding and appreciate you being the underbidder. Malvin

That comic was a huge deal for sure, but the OA was always lower than other Jim Lee art, no doubt because of the Carl Potts layouts/pencils. I know sales a few years ago are not comparable, but this splash went for way more than the cover! Malvin

Wow, I think that Punisher War Journal #7 page 13 page just set a record for a Carl Potts page! comiclink link

I uploaded a couple of Alan Davis Miracleman pieces Vintage Fanzine of Con Program Cover (with Captain Britain) Recent Full Figure Pencil Commission If anyone knows where that "fanzine or con cover" was used, please let me know! Malvin

Hi Folks, Just a reminder that this great Spiderman full splash is ending tomorrow comiclink link The price is only $755! Happy collecting and thanks for looking. Malvin

If an artist charges $500 for sketches that are worth $2K, I suspect 2 to 3 will be kept if you are lucky, and the rest flipped. Or all flipped. Malvin

Time for a mid auction bump! The item is currently $ 705! comiclink link Thanks for looking Malvin

Who gets to decide which front line and low income worker gets the cheap art? Malvin

Congrats on the Kirby Surfer! Sorry, the main character on the Sunday page will be Nova (will have other cosmic beings like the Elders and Galactus but no Surfer). I was just listing the title and artists for the drop. Malvin

There is another dropping on Sunday. But he is not in costume unfortunately. Its a page with Joan, Mr. Bumpo and Spacker Dave though. Malvin

Hi Folks, If you recall I was doing some serious fundraising a few months ago, and now I can post what it is! Link to my Brian Bolland Judge Dredd Cover Thanks to everyone who bought my consignments! Malvin

Heh, I think emailing Bill is a better place if you want Bill to know about your feedback, or his survey if he does another one. I hear what you are saying on #2. I also see Bill's point of view (he doesn't want people willy nilly changing things, and at a real con, you only have what you brought with you). In your case, if you don't want to sell due to good Saturday sales, I suppose you can just re-price all your Sunday stuff at 10x FMV Malvin

Yes, I do. Not as many pieces, and some are just "doubles" (same artist and title so I thought I would release the 2nd one the second day rather than both in the first). I definitely do not have 24 pieces each day, way under. Malvin

I think this 3rd ComicartLive has less buzz than the previous ones! The online art convention aka comic art live - https://www.comicartlive.com goes live at 11 AM EST for CAF premium members and 1PM for the general public. None of the booths are live, but you can see the booth title pages and its of booths here - https://www.comicartfans.com/comicartlive2020-boothpreview.asp Have fun everyone Malvin
