Plus, it's up almost 80% in just 2 years (sold in Nov. 2017 at HA for $20.3K), so, $36K doesn't seem like an underperformance to me! Yup. $18k for the ASM #308 panel page was eye-opening too, and in conjunction with other public and private sales seems to indicate McSpidey OA prices have almost doubled over the past year or so.

If there is a piece of art that is way undervalued in the last minutes of auction and I feel that the buyer shouldn’t pay less than $X, I will put in bids to make sure the buyer doesn’t get it for less than $Y price. If I win it, great; maybe I got a deal on it. But my intention isn’t to win it; it’s to make sure it doesn’t go for a wholesale price. Hence, punishment bid.

The #41 is a great cover - one that I prefer to the 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Maybe but 40 is clearly far more valuable as a cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to call for payment questions and they were pretty easy to get a hold of.

Disaster. Agree. Never worked out for me. The crazy purchases. The purchases using heart only and no rational thought. The purchases where I was sure I was nuts and I'll be buried with it before it being worth more than I paid for it, are the ones that have escalated in value beyond all the others.

No. That option was available as recently as a few weeks ago before the new implementation went in ("live" 11/15/19 iirc). Never utilized it as I always had at least a 1.5% cashback card available instead. thethedew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1% eCheck rebate has been gone for years now for me. But, my HA purchases all tend to be chunky in size.

Heart only works better than brain only but IMO walk the line between the two for best results. That doesn’t always mean having the brain hold you back, sometimes it means having the brain tell you to spend as much as you can come up with and buying twenty pieces instead of one.

Neither here nor there, but if you use a 1.5% cash back card aren’t you getting charged 2.5% for using a credit card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
