Any guesses what this might fetch? Byrne XMEN battle page w Wolverine! 0

I’m surprised there isn’t a post your winners thread for Clink and Comicconnect. Maybe everyone is waiting on Heritage? I picked up a tank girl at Clink which I was happy about.

And both of these pages were bought by Rob Liefeld (not a secret, he's posted it on social media).

At this point if you had a nice Byrne X-Men page to sell, would you cut out the middle man and go directly to Mr. Liefeld?

I figured 80k in this goofy market. Glad to see it was thousands under even with juice. It cant all be insane nuclear price explosions all the time...still thats a lot of money for a panel page.

Page sold on clink, so no 'juice' included in final price of $72K

Clink doesn’t have a buyers premium? I thought they had one of 3% or is that gone?

it has been a while for me as well, but isn't that their credit card fee?

That’s the credit card fee

Ahh ok I’ve never paid with credit card. They call it a buyers premium when I just looked it up but it does look like it could be their way of just having a credit card fee (or similar) without calling it a credit card fee. It appears it also would apply to time payment buys as well.

Charging a credit card processing fee in Maine is illegal.

And people wonder why I'm such a grouch

Comiclink's bidding terms and conditions apply the law of the State of Maine. 

You are correct.

Not sure it matters but when you mail payment, you send it to Illinois.  Perhaps some legal game about where they are headquartered so that they can do this, or for other financial reasons.  Although, I think Illinois not exactly a business tax friendly state to set up shop, though I'm no finance expert.

At one point Santa Monica banned ATM surcharge fees. A federal judge overturned it. 

C'mon, Maine. CLink would simply change their policy to not accept credit card payments from your state. Would that make you feel better?

It would make me feel a lot better. Businesses: own your ease-of-doing business policies upfront and outright without shyste, and your customers will stay or walk of their own accord. How that plays out will inform the business whether the policy makes sense or not, for the long run. Don't hide behind lawyers and legal-speak to fog the games you're playing, and you will be closer to earning my grudging respect.

When you bump into shystyness in one part of a business though, you have to wonder about the rest of it.

Only an insufficiently..blahblahblah fool wouldn't.

I've seen enough shyste in enough places that I consider the entire hobby to be largely a den of vipers. Not everyone and not all the time, but enough to be very very careful and I warn others that are less experienced or savvy of the same. That seems to be the nice friendly thing to do. Who wouldn't want a nice friendly hobby pal that never bee-esses anything and would steer you toward the handful of other pros that don't? That some light being shined on some corners of the hobby makes the rats scurry, even if just for a minute or two, and outs those engaging or friends of those engaging with their weak sister counter-moves ()... just icing on the...

Just send them a check then. They take checks.

Do you have a link fir this?  Much appreciated.

It was only a matter of time before the really nice Byrne X-Men interior pages cracked the 6-figure mark.  These pages simply can't be $35-65K anymore when far, far lesser art is selling for as much or sometimes even (much) more in this environment where there is no financial gravity and money has lost all its meaning..
