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. Bachalo, A Doll's House, Nice big Morpheus panel.... It's at least double this.....probably more (almost certainly more). Given that a sketch of Morpheus inside a hardcover collection of "A Doll's House" will bring $300-400 easily, the original was pretty severely under-priced. mister_not_so_nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell for a profit and funnel the funds back into the hobby for something you love. I'm not a flipper. And I'm not sure I want to buy a page, just to flip it for more art. But, its too tempting to give away what I'm talking about. If it were about 1K less, I'd probably jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now been 4 days since you posted about this eBay deal -- stop teasing it out-- either buy the lot or tell other folks about it so they (not me) can buy it if they want. mister_not_so_nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or.. even though I sound like a broken record, it's not really a deal! If it was a $100 page that was priced at $50, I can see people not bothering to make 50 bucks after all the effort and selling fees. But it sounds like this piece is priced in the thousands, implying that potential profit is at least a thousand (even before the 1K discount). If it is in the right eBay category, with good scans and no typos in the title and description, then It's probably not a deal. It's still possible that someone could buy it and make money if they find the "right buyer" but I really doubt that it is a no brainer Buy It Now like it is being described.

I'm thinking $4k-6k, probably the upper end. I know myself I would personally need to think abut 1 second to buy it at $4k. Very memorable scene.

Listings like that still boggle my mind especially when it comes to higher desirability pieces. The seller obviously understood the piece has value, and literally a few minutes of googling and you would realize it was worth far more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Well, I'm intrigued. My closest guess is this Kelley Jones Sandman page for $5000 or best offer. Sandman is not in my wheelhouse but I am under the impression that pages by Jones go for a lot more than this. If that's true, 5K may be under market, but it's still too much for an average collector to snatch it up. 5K is also a lot of money to toy around with if you're going to risk the flip or hold mid-term for trade bait. I also thought this was going to get snatched up within 48 hours, but it's been up for a while. A reason why it's still sitting unsold, other than the price tag, might because there's no Morpheus on it. Maybe this is a $3500 piece?

batman_fan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 This wasn't a bin really but had a high opening bid. I watched it closely and decided to throw in a bid for the starting price and won it. Lets just say that was one of my better decisions.
