Well I do feel bad.. but an opportunity popped up for something that never comes available. That I have been looking for for a long time. After speaking to a few people I obviously got a screaming deal and I am not emotionally attached to it yet.. SO would you prefer I put it on EBAY or an auction house where people can pay a ton of fees and taxes or sell to a dealer behind closed doors so you can see it with even more of a mark up? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering. I don't think you need to justify this at all, even if you had no reason you are entitled to sell the piece and ask whatever price you like. Most don't look down on dealers when they buy low and sell high. So it is anathema to me that the collecting community gets worked up about people who love the hobby and sometimes sell the things they have. Not everyone has the bankroll to be a black hole collector. My exception to this would be those who induce someone else to sell by saying the piece is a grail etc and then flip it immediately.

Ecclectica Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Sold for 175 USD in May 20, 2020 : https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Men-Legacy-Issue-208-Page-1-Original-Artwork-/254602154248?hash=item3b47789108%3Ag%3A5wQAAOSwI5Felb2w&nma=true&si=BWctq%2F%2BEB9PGQ9pJSxBSUbVgOII%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 The initial seller sold it with this mention "Signed by Greg Land" to the first flipper available (see bidding history)... ...even if he had already sold one month earlier a JR Jr he had correctly described this time : https://www.ebay.com/itm/John-Romita-Jr-and-Joe-Rubenstein-X-Men-issue-7-page-5-original-artwork-/254569560657?hash=item3b45873a51%3Ag%3AHeQAAOSwoP1eklyV&nma=true&si=BWctq%2F%2BEB9PGQ9pJSxBSUbVgOII%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Let's say the Covid crisis has already some surprising effects. The conclusion : Two weeks later, and now, 850 USD : https://www.ebay.com/itm/264760985467 (so overpriced, IMHO, and even the new seller is not mentioning the inks are by Klaus Janson...)

Popular Post romitaman Posted June 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Just an FYI.......Jim already offered this micronauts to me this week, like he does a lot of his art...(because we live 20 minutes drive from each other i get offered alot of his art.and i'm fine with it) and like every art deal I ever get offered by him or anyone else...... if the deals sounds good for me to buy.....I buy.........if it don't sound good... I pass.... I had no idea Jim bought his micronauts page on Ebay, nor do I care........but he did and so be it........ The CGC FLIP POLICE here decided to post it like they caught a criminal doing something illegal i guess and so be it if it makes them happy. anyway...........I passed on working a deal out on this one as I also told Jim it was too high for me to deal for it.... it happens. I must say......Lately....The people posting on this thread defeat the entire purpose of what the original poster had in mind when he started this thread..... You are really gonna call out people buying art for 1000 and asking 1500 now? REALLY? If so......Please go to my Romitaman website and have at it.....Post til you feel just dandy inside that you "caught me" selling something for more than what i paid...... LOL EVERY piece of art on my website I've bought for less than what i'm selling it for now.... I personally love seeing my "FLIPS OF THE DAY" HERE whenever that happens, as it seems every time this happens, collectors buy art from me. We all have our personal business models on how we choose to sell art......... dealers "AND" collectors..... All of us who have ever sold a piece of art decide what's the best way to make a deal happen. I'd like to think overall i do decent job selling art and of course i'm not perfect even remotely, But I work HARD to sell my art on my website and treat people with respect in doing so, as i don't want my art looking like a museum where nothing ever sells...THIS BOTHERS ME! And i tell everyone...If i have something too high priced that you seriously want for your collection... Discuss it with me and i'll seriously listen and do my best to see if we can work a fair deal out. If you don't believe what i'm saying is true........ Go to CAF and ask Bill Cox how much art I've been selling. (This is not bragging at all, i assure you, i'm just stating facts....I like to move art, be it trade or sale!) I Just felt i should reply to the comment above, as a lot of the CGC FLIP POLICE here (not all but some) seem to enjoy being being judge and jury every time something is offered for sale that they don't like to put others down. NOW.....if someone is offering art for more than double......or 3 times what they purchased it for not long ago..... have at it... and call them out, or call me or anyone else out for doing it...... but lately, this is not really happening anymore like the original intent of this thread was meant for.........but i understand it wont stop some.....and its all good to me, as this is a chat board about comic art......and we all love this hobby, so hopefully in some way it's always a positive if the post is legit... thanks!!!

Do you even read this thread, or just come in to humblebrag when your name is mentioned? Because 3 of the 4 pieces on the page you posted are over 3 times, which is ‘have at it’ territory by your own statement. But you’re complaining about us having at it? 550 to 2000, 175 to 850, 6K something to coollines - so 3x minimum with some alterations... And the Jim piece isn’t a crazy markup, but it’s probably only being called out because everybody is sick of him spamming this forum and mailing lists with ‘new art’ posts just for it to end up on your site within the week. So as usual you miss the point. Nobody cares that YOU are selling the art. You’re a dealer and you can and should sell whatever you want. People, at least me, are just tired of his sale posts masquerading as sharing personal art. MagnusX, vodou, Twanj and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnusX Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I will say this about children having their way in this forum... 1 ) They are OA collectors (Customers). 2 ) They have money to spend in OA (And willing to do so). 3 ) They decide who to buy from ...
