And I would only be buying it because it’s a relative deal, not because I love the art. Not sure I want to go down the road of being a flipper.

If it's as good as you make it out to be, somebody somewhere will arb it. Might as well be you. If nothing else you could take comfort in trying to trade it with somebody who does love the art for something they have that you love but cannot otherwise swing for. That's a way that ends up with everybody happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a way that ends up with everybody happy! If the price point was lower, I probably would. I am just not a flipper/seller. I don’t but art with that mentality. That said, Imstill thinking about it. And tgelonger the piece sits there with no one snapping it up, the more I wonder whether I am pricing it right.

If it is in the right ebay category, with no typos and decent scans, there is no way it is a good deal if it is still sitting there all this time You probably value it higher than the market, which is something we all do.

Malvin I asked someone I trust about it and they agreed it was a deal. I’m not sure why it’s still sitting there, but it doesn’t have a lot of people following it. So it may be kind of hidden. There is no way the piece would not receive attention otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like you’re deceiving the seller with a story to get a discount. It’s for sale. Buy it. Sell for a profit and funnel the funds back into the hobby for something you love. alxjhnsn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycroft Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I recently BINed one cover and a cover-worthy illustration by Pat Olliffe from Catskill Comics for 400 $, thanks to following him via Facebook. Pat Olliffe may not draw the most attention but he is a solid artist, under appreciated as far as I'm concerned. Lee B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saw this for $1500, I would have no idea it was a good deal (or not) since I don't pay attention to the Sandman market. So what's fmv on this? Just curious.
