I think this show will be distinct from the other show, and continue to hold viewers attention, so long as the items on offer are always 'new to market' stuff that hasn't been seen before.  Can't say that will translate to sales, but people will tune in if the wares are new.

I really appreciate that they went through 10 rounds in about 45 minutes, especially since 2PM EST on a Sunday isn't the most convenient time.  That's particularly going to be tough over the summer between outings, barbecues, etc.  I dropped off before the "bonus" round, so I'm not sure exactly how long that ran for.

I like Bechara's matter-of-fact style and while there were no huge bargains, a lot of his art was fairly priced.  Glen will probably need to start a bit lower in the future to generate more interest.  I think the show will benefit if they keep it short and don't play up the competition too much, to keep it different from Dueling Dealers.

I do think there is room for both shows.  To me Dueling Dealers is now both a sales show and an entertainment show.  I'll watch it even if I'm not buying anything to see the memes, Sharon's cakes and the assorted wackiness from Mike and Anthony, not to mention Harpies.  Dueling Dealers is not just selling art, it's also bringing viewers to the CAF channel and helping to build the brand (plus increased visibility for Anthony and Mike and the amateur dealers).  I also really love the day/time for Dueling Dealers.  I'm on the East Coast and it's at a perfect time for me to relax and get my weekly art fix.

I'm all for more art being offered for sale and I hope things go well for them. But I'd suggest that next time one of the Dealmakers offers up a page for $1400 they should check to make sure it's not still listed for sale on the other Dealmaker's site for $595 - like this Paul Neary Captain America page is:

Felt like just as long as there were no clocks on anything,.

I told ya'll before...there's just ONE inventory here

There was some doubt.

Now you know. And wasn't that just a bit of slop  there...it'll all come out eventually. It always does.

And Glen offered up a "fairly priced" "3/4" splash by Pop Mhan for $2000.  Although he did reluctantly drop it to $1600 at the end of the show.  Burkey has 5 pages from the same issue from $250 to $350.  What the ever-livin' hell?

Just in case, for those who are as curious as I am...

No need to see the show to know this already...

Based on the prices he quoted, I think Glen is a long-lost Donnelly brother.

How can you be a "dealer" and be that far off?  Do you think I could buy them from Burkey and then sell them to Glen for $800 each?  I wonder why I haven't bought anything from Glen.  Bechara even tried to tell him it was more like a half-splash and he still couldn't turn off the gaslight.

Are we really that surprised after we witness Glen purchasing several pages from Dino during ADD, and posting them on his website 3X the price just a week after.

No, but what's driving it?  Does he really think that is what they are worth?  Is he trying to accelerate the lower tier stuff to add value to all of his creme-de-la-creme?  Just mind boggling that he can have that much experience and yet be that blind.  I also didn't like the fact that Will & Bechara didn't laugh when he brought out a $300 page for $2000.  At least Bechara said that it wasn't 3/4 splash.

Greed, and an assumption that some buyers are stupid.

Considering what more than a few pieces have commanded, that assumption has a basis in fact.

Let me add that I think a goodly amount of the "creme-de-la-creme" is more like low fat cottage cheese, and even that may be somewhat generous.

He is trying to make money on a hot market.. hoping someone impulse buys without research. these guys have to get inventory somewhere and if they are not finding collectors to buy from they raid each others inventory where they think they can get more for it. Does that mean its right? Not sure.. but it means we as consumers need to be educated and diligent . Burkey and Anthony are much more open to make fair trades so there inventory replenishes quicker and at a price that is not public, and they can then sell at market value. That is why there show is sustainable. I made an offer on Bechara Romita spidey sketch...he scoffed at my offer. It was very nice.. but also personalized. burkey has sold at least ten of those sketches on DD ... I will get one at the price I want eventually.
