If I had "flexibility" I would have started the auction at $19. It certainly would then have a bid or two. I was able to lower the price to $2,519, but the donor doesn't want to start the price any lower. If it doesn't sell, then there is no loss to the Fundraiser, only a lower gain.
I had high hopes for this item, but was obviously over-estimating!!! Still, If you were to bid $750 you would be looking at a $4,000+ return if you sold it again through the SFAE. I paid $1,500 in 1998 for my "Sympathy for the Devil" Litho and sold it for $22,500.00 a month ago!!! Look to the long term, The Beatles are "Forever". You will regret this later, trust me, I know!!!!!
Woot! Woot! That is very good news indeed...Now let's have two or three more to really get this thing rolling.
Oh man, this could be awesome!!! The folks at the gallery have indicated a desire to help annually. If this can go for a decent price, next year may be phenomenal!!! Can we get behind this and bid?????
Well at least someone recognized the inherent equity available on this item. You really stand to make over $4K for a minimal investment. The Gallery will broker the deal for you!!!!
Just ask for Jim Hartley!!!
I even offered to place the bid, then have Jim sell it for me and split the profits. We go way back, but lo and behold someone placed a bid mid-email!!! LOL
I hate to say bargain and fundraiser in the same sentence however...Check this item out people. It's at a crazy low price and could be a great investment piece with a very rapid return.
Well the auction is over. Some pretty hectic bidding in the end and the item went for $1,144.00!! Not as high as I hoped, someone got a real bargain, but still that should put the findraiser over the ....
$11,000.00 Mark!!!!!!!
Spoiler:
Man, when we Fund Raise, we RAISE FUNDS!!!! Can I get an AMEN?????
Edit: Well, with the 2012 Haven Fund Raiser officially over. I can now put the "Whore" back in the trunk of my car until next year!!!! Thanks to all who contributed and helped (Which is just about everyone here, in one way or another)!!!!!!! Great bunch of folks!!!!!
With Jerome away, don't you feel like we can be "Bad"???? LOL I mean like we can just go off topic at the drop of a hat!!!!! Create threads "Willy-Nilly"!!!! And in random forums!!!!
We might be safe with that out side of CC, but I'd be careful with that in here. CC is Jerome's baby and he'll be back in a couple days. I do go off topic more than most of the staff, but I'm only pushing my luck so far.
