Hey guys,

I am in need of some summer cash for things such as bills, rent and food (and hopefully Spectrum shows). Being unemployed is a bitch. I have some posters I'm looking to part with. The first is a S/N Kenyon Hall. Number 62. It is from the S/D sale and the details are as follows. There is a crease on the bottom right corner. A crease in the middle. A crease in the top left. They are all VERY hard to notice from the front (you have to be looking for them) and the middle crease is non-existent on the front. There is a light scuff in the grey on the front. The creases wouldn't be visible if it was framed and it sounds alot worse than it is. I have a few pictures I can send if you are interested. Just give me your email address and I can send them along. The last mint one went for $233 according to EB. I'm obviously not looking to get anything in that neighborhood. I'm hoping for the $150 range.

Thanks!

    How the hell does $150 cover bills, rent, food and Pj shows? Thats incredible.

    in all fairness though, I wouldn't expect anyone to get rid of a Kenyon Hall for $15.

    Did you miss the words "such as"? :) Every little bit helps. I wish it covered all those but it's about enough to cover insurance and some food.

    And for those bitching at me, keep it to yourself. Go attack someone selling a show poster they got for $20 for $200 or better yet, selling a 98 poster they bought for $15 in 1998. I didn't set the market value. Guess we should be selling extra Benaroya's for $35. That argument is so old.

    Weird. I was of the opinion that nobody would pay $15 to display that monstrocity in their personal space. I guess it does have camp value though.

    One of the reasons I am selling it is because it's so fugly. Definitely one of my least favorite posters.

    Sorry about getting jumpy. I thought I was getting attacked. I have seen it happen around here many a time and figured I was next. Thanks for your support (Who remembers Bartles and James?)

    Really? I love that poster!!! I would hang it over my bed if I didn't know my husband would probably have an issue with that :lol:

    I've been wanting that poster since I saw it, just hadn't had the money to get it, another board member offered it to me for $150 which I thought was a fair price, just couldn't do it at that time.

    You kidding me, i got one from BK, and it wasn't $15. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $60 or $65.

    I don't understand why everyone on this board has to jump over someone that sells something. You going to bitch at ticket prices next year saying I saw PJ in 92 for $10. F no. stop the bitching, if you aren't interested in the poster, leave it alone, you don't know what the seller is going through.

    the way the print is set up, you may be able to take a SOFT short bristled fine art brush and rub it (gently) in a circular motion around the scuffed area and move some of the gray ink over the white scuff ...

    $150. seems a little steep for D/S poster..those white scuffs on the front seriously decrease the value...$100 shipped would be a fair price IMO...i'm just saying..not trying to rain on your sale so chill...I hope you get what you are asking.

F no. stop the bitching, if you aren't interested in the poster, leave it alone, you don't know what the seller is going through.

    Crazy Larry - first, this print isn't a normal A/P - its from Brad's "dent and scratch" sale - if I recall correctly it was three prints for either $30 or $35 - so this didn't cost him more than $15, probably less more like $10. Second, not sure I understand the analogy to ticket prices? how do you resell a PJ ticket from 92 for profit? don't get that. third, never said I wasn't interested in the kenyon. I have one myself, thinks its cool as shit (worked out a trade with someone on this board).

    Why disrespect the artists wishes, especially on s/d prints? I received a built to spill print in that same s/d sale that I knew a number of people wanted, so I sold it for $10 to the first person that pm'd me (look it up, its on the board). To each his/her own, not saying "holy-er-than-thou" (anybody that know's me, knows that's a joke), but it pretty much comes down to are you someone who disrepects the aritsts wishes, are do you follow what they ask. I'll just never get that - we all love Brad's work, but then don't ever listen to what he says.

    What I paid for it doesn't matter at all. Again, should everyone who gets a poster at a show sell it for what they paid? Should I sell the 2006 DC I got at the show for $25? If I sell that or my S/N 2003 Ames Texas print as I also disrespecting the artist? Do you think ANY artist wants people to profit on their work? There are plenty of A/P Honolulu Klausen's for sale on EB and ebay that were purchased S/N for $40-$50 or obtained from the scratch and dent sale and they are upwards of $300. That's MUCH more of a markup than mine.

    Bottom line is, I have some posters that I don't ever intend to hang. I didn't specifically ask for this to be in my scratch and dent tube. I'm not selling it for $15. I have no job. I need money. None of that is any of your business but I felt the need to share that since you are actually attacking me in this post.

    Also the best offer at the moment is $135.

    Thanks

    As far as I'm concerned as well, he's out of money, and if people are willing to pay a certain amount for this print, then it's clear the print has that value to someone! No big deal. Best of luck, hopethatuchoke, on finding the money you need.

    Something the OP should know (with a user name like hopethatuchoke): don't talk politics and don't throw stones.

    It's a bit unfortunate, but with the way these pieces of art get resold on eBay, I think we'll see a serious shift from 'store'-type shopping (where we know the onsale date and time, and know what we must pay for it), to bid-based shopping (where an artist sets a minimum, and only the high rollers get the product) from artists, and many different creative-types involved with collectibles. It aggravates me greatly that people will get this kind of money, only to have the money pocketed by sellers who happen to have access to products, rather than the artist who poured his/her heart and soul into the art they make, and if it aggravates me - I'd be willing to bet it aggravates the artists to no end.

    Hopefully as a human he'll learn from this, and take it easy on others in similar situations in the future. I've found the OP's comments in the past to be a bit rude and unsympathetic.

    Not really. I made a comment about the posters from the Frank Black site that looked like they went through Vietnam. I called him out on him saying he was trying to "hook real fans up" on here rather than selling on ebay. I guess people on ebay aren't real fans. I usually defend people who get attacked for selling things at more than cost.

    I will admit I can be quite abrasive around here sometimes but I don't mince words and I don't have a problem sharing my opinion. I've never been ignorant to someone without a job or any other bad situation. I guess I can't get too mad at people bashing me here since they are also sharing their opinion. Based on reaction to that, I guess I can lighten up a bit :) Now I feel like I am laying on the couch of a shrink hahaha. I just wanted to sell a poster....not argue.

    i totally agree! i see a HUGE difference between the people who snag a print during an on sale, and turn around make a profit the same fucking day, and the people who sell their prints down the road for various reasons.

    on the day of the on sale the chance to buy the print should go to the people who want it, and the profit should go to the artist. but then again... you can't eat a poster, you know? :ugeek:
