Comiclink winter auction 3 3

[Mickey7]

$44,800 for a "Spider-man renew your vows" cover by J. Scott Campbell.  One of many surprising prices to me.

This Mack DD surprised me when it jumped from 2k to 10k

I’m always surprised by Campbell’s prices in general.

Nice! Do you have a page from issue 6 and 7?

No and I know those will be hard to acquire without a huge outlay of cash but one day. It's a slow goal, lol. I have 10,11,12 done.

It was $10K for quite a while before auction’s end.  It’s not as though it jumped from $2K to $10K in the last few minutes of the auction or even the day prior to auctions end.

Yup, exactly! I don't follow Mack DD all that close but it seemed high when it jumped so much.

Didn't realize it was a reserve, I thought those showed up at $10,000* but I guess it was already met?

yeah, I think it was at 9,900*, which is one increment under reserve and someone tripped it.

I like his run on DD, but not at 10K for 2 pages (then again that applies to many OA these days, I'm glad I got my pages early!)

Loved this cover, but there is much better art to be had at those levels.

Some of these prices are indeed eye opening. However one thing that i am curious about. In the past when sellers have come on asking where is the best place to sell their  original artwork the general consensus has been to send it to Heritage. I am now wondering if Comiclink has become the better avenue for selling original artwork or would these same pieces of artwork that sold on Comiclink for incredible prices sold for even higher prices at Heritage.

Not long ago I sold a piece of original art on ComicLink. It didn't do as well as I hoped (what with price jumps I have seen during Covid). I didn't loose money, I just didn't get much of a profit. Whoever bought it must have realized it was undersold because after a few months they placed it on Heritage. There it went for over 3 times what it got on ComicLink.

I recently consigned a ton of art and ComicConnect and Heritage both got right back to me while Comiclink never replied to a voicemail or email.

It's understandable; your message got lost among all the others requesting/demanding a watchlist feature be added before the next Ice Age

I had a 20k+ item I debated about selling on comiclink.  I just worried it wouldn’t clear $25k and after fees I’d end up around 22k

i opted for heritage and it sold for 32, and they waived sellers fees so I cleared 25k

still not sure if I was right, but that was my thought process.  A similar page (maybe even a better page same artist, same era) sold last week right at 25k (on CLink)

but then I sold several $500-$5000 pieces on CLink’s last auction, and they all performed where I was hoping with the lower sellers fee netting me 10% more.

so, all that to say, price point may be an issue, timing is likely an issue, and other non controllables.

maybe if I have another 20k+ page I go back to heritage, but CLink certainly won my respect this last time around

(although it took to the literal last second for every page to trip its target!)

Given the value of the pieces that you're selling, you should be negotiating with Heritage to waive more than just the sellers fee.

Can anyone share a simple example of what your clear at HA vs CLink after fees? Using $1,000 as example (assuming buyers premium on HA is all theirs?).

Don’t see figures on the sites, and wary of hidden fees.

What can HA waive, other than the seller’s fee?

I know I can get the 0% sellers fee but always assumed clawing back some BP was out of my range, perhaps not. At what value consignment would this be viable?
