  1. I had no intention to buy something, but I found a nice Witchblade DPS from Randy Green for a reasonable price, to I got it for my „House of the Witchblade“ collection. 
     

    The Darkchylde cover by Jim Lee was nice. Was sold at Heritage for $2.200 in 2016 and asking price was $12k, closing price was $10k. 

  2. I live in Germany and bought a lot of art in the US or from artist in South-America and Asia. 

    Packaging should be at masonite board and this should be in a bigger box. If the art is expensive (over $1.5k) I would prefer fast shipping via DHL express or UPS. When I send via DHL to the US, normal packages cost 45€, but shipping time is 2-4 weeks. Via express the shipping time is just 5-7 days and they do the customs process. I feel more comfortable receiving and sending higher valued art this way.

    You can save some $$$ to pay via Wise. The exchange rates at PayPal are terrible. You pay 3-4% more.

  3. This Enrico Marini Dark Prince page lost 33% of his value in 2 years. The consignor lost 54% (if he/she paid the 15% fee and the BP was 25% here) or $9150. 

    But the auction 2 years ago was a Platinum Signature auction and this page was featured. This time it was „only“ the International Signature auction. Don’t know why Heritage ask for 25% BP for less work. For example the don’t put the pages at CAF for advertising.

  4. I consigned 5 pieces to the recent Heritage signature auction. There is only one week to bid.

  6. I bought some Michael Tuner pieces for $9k at CAF last year. I paid via goods and service and the the payment was also frozen. The seller could not send it, because shipping was $500 including insurance and he had financial issues. Finally after 4 weeks the payment was released and he shipped the art and I got a great deal. But the 6 weeks for waiting for the art was horrible.
