WOW. 4 PANELS WITH DD AND NINJA.S . THATS A SERIOUS GRAIL PAGE. WOULD NOT BE SUPRISED IF THE PAGE GOES OVER 2K

Over 2K? I'd bet closer to 4-5K for a page of this caliber.

...that is a fantastic page! No one is going to get a "deal" on that one - I think that'll go for 'true' market value(4K-5K? Why not.) That's one of the better Miller pages I've seen on eBay...

VERY memorable page for me. Nice indeed.

[dem1138]

The page is no longer available. The seller was offered "crazy money" and ended the auction early. He wouldn't give me a number but it must've been quite high as I made him a fair offer and he said that no reasonable offer would even close.

Just goes to show that anything really decent is very difficult to acquire...

Well, based on what he said to you, my guess is he got 7-8K for it. It can't be much more, because then it would be the same price as a Bullseye or Elektra battle page. I don't see that happening, but I could be wrong. Of course, everything of this caliber keeps going up, so maybe my estimation on Bullseye or Elektra battle pages is now too low. The last one that sold on ebay sold for about 7500, but that was almost two years ago now (hence my current estimation of 10K).

 

The bottom line is that ebay rarely has good art. Most nice art never makes it to ebay because it is sold privately. Many sellers will try to sell something nice privately, based on who he knows might be interested. Then, they will post it as a "taking offers" item on the comicart-L list. Finally, if there are no takers, they'll put it on ebay. So, most good items are already cherry-picked off.

 

Every once in a while, a choice item makes it to ebay for a variety or reasons. Maybe the seller wants to reach the largest audience, or wants to give everybody a chance, or it's just advertisement with an insanely high reserve. In these cases, oftentimes multiple buyers will email the seller with offers to end the auction early. This happens so much that it's commonplace. In general, if I really like something, I'll email the seller to say "Hi. I'm interested in this piece. If you're considering ending the auction and selling the piece early, please let me know as I'd like to then make a counteroffer. If not, then I'll be bidding towards the end of the auction with the intent of winning it. Good luck." In this manner, I'm not breaking any rules, but I keep myself in the running if the seller decides on his own to end the auction early for whatever reason.

 

So, if you ever see a piece of art on ebay that you desperately want, I'd suggest you do the same.

If only every ebayer had your ethical values and all around good guy-ness.
