Pitt 98 FS

tommy boy

Poster is in great shape, but is dry mounted. Looks great in the frame.
Mixed opinion on value with dry mounting but when l look at in the frame it looks amazing.
$1000

@tommy boy what was the "best offer"?SHZA said:

That didn't take long! 

I see this tried to sell at $2100 before.

I also can not BELIEVE someone paid $1000 for a dry mounted poster.

Bravo to you!

tommy boy

Next time anybody needs poster pricing info drop me a line....LOL...
Its amazing in person and if I didnt have it, I would have paid that all day.  To each his own tempo and groove my friend.

It’s only worth what someone will pay for it sounds like a win-win....

The fact that any poster sells for anything close to $1,000 is ridiculous. These people's bank accounts must be deep enough that they don't have to justify the drop in their balance to a partner due to a got-to-have-it concert poster. 

SHZA

It's all relative. The uber wealthy spend millions on a single piece of fine art, which the rest of us can't fathom. If you have the disposable income, spending a couple grand on a so-called "grail" that will give you years of enjoyment isn't ridiculous at all.

Dude, I get amazed at every new high level sale of a mangled/dry mounted poster.

This item has a pretty wild history.

It was put up for sale on 7/15 framed with no mention of dry mounting. Best offer of $2,000 accepted on 7/22.

Guessing that fell through (dry mounting a problem?) because the same account lists it again on 8/6 but without the frame and now acknowledging the dry mounting. Sells for $1,000 in less than a day despite only "Pearl Jam Poster" in the description.

I find the lack of information interesting too.

Wait to see this used somewhere as leverage.  I think I'm going to sell my Sea98 for 3g now!

i'm interested in this as well.  $1k for a drymounted poster is crazy.

If you don't intend to resell and can't tell the difference once it's on the wall, seems pretty attractive to pay $1k instead of $2k.

I disagree and feel like once you get into a certain stratosphere of price, the potential resale value is a big factor. I would much rather drop 2k and feel confident I could recoup it if I needed to vs. dropping 1k and worry about it being worth a fraction of that.

Resale is certainly a huge factor if you plan or want the option to resell it. But there are a lot of people who have been looking for these 98 prints for years and would never dream of selling unless things were truly dire. And there's no guarantee that the resale value of a non dry-mounted version won't plummet once the bubble bursts. There is clearly demand even in a dry-mounted state, so the worry about being able to recoup only a fraction of the purchase price is probably unfounded.

I think you're massively understating what dry mounting a poster does to the perceived value amongst people who are willing to pay >$500 for a single print

Using your example, what do you suppose fine art collectors think about a Monet glued to a piece of foamboard?

There's definitely a possibility that someone saw the price for the print and jumped on it without really reading the description, but more than likely a best offer was made and accepted, and it didn't sell for $1000.

Again, I'm assuming the buyer doesn't care much about what it does to the "perceived value" amongst those people because there is no intention of ever selling. I'm not disputing your point that dry mounting is a deal-breaker to the vast majority of people. But even if 99.9% of potential buyers feel that way, you only need one who says "wow, that Pitt '98 show was my first Pearl Jam show -- I've regretted not picking one up for the last 21 years. I'd never pay $2k for one, but $1k seems like a good deal." It took less than a day for someone to snatch it up at that price, which seems pretty compelling evidence that you could re-sell it for that amount if you really needed to.  

I don't think the comparison to multi-million dollar works is an apt analogy. Totally different stratosphere and type of consumer.

Ebay doesn't even tell you how much something sold for after a best offer, so an email from eBay won't either.

You're wrong. If you made an unaccepted offer, they send you an email with the sale price. Here's another recent example where an item was listed for $350 and I got an email saying it sold for $265.

Some people eat tide pods, too. And one sale is not compelling evidence of anything. Both of my eyebrows are now raised on this whole affair.

People eat tide pods, so what? That's part of the calculus. You can probably find a tide-pod eater to buy it if you're ever in a pinch.

Also on the desktop site (not the app) in the sold items search results there will be a line through the asking price and "best offer accepted" if that's what occurred. This item doesn't have that.

curious if this can be restored. that would likely be time consuming & expensive process.
