Sheesh, folks, I never said Dave shouldn't be able
to do what he does... I'm just perplexed as to how he manages to pull it off so
frequently, is all. I mean, it seems that on a list as erudite and poster-wise
as MOPO that he wouldn't have much luck reeling in high-end titles at low
prices (which is essentially the question Claude was asking him in the first
place, I think).

I'm with Randy.............as a seller you are entitled to ask whatever
you want for your poster. The buyer has the choice to decline. If
someone didn't want to sell for $7500 they could have kept their poster. I
have many clients that are looking for high end posters and don't have the
time or inclination to sit on ebay or call around and do the work required to
obtain those posters. They have the choice to say no if the price is too high,
but if that price suits them, then why shouldn't Dave make a commission. What
about the guy that bought the Frankenstein for $500 in a Pennsylvania farm
auction and turned it over for $198,000. Talk about appreciation! More
power to Dave.

What I don't understand is why Dave L is being singled out
for a comment like this. I see major dealers asking for specific
pieces all the time here. Do you folks think that they're buying
them for their personal collections? That they're not going to
immediately mark them up from whatever they pay and sell them at a profit
to someone else? This seems like business as usual for most dealers
so I don't how Dave is any different, only that he's doing it more
publicly on ebay while others may be playing the same game with private
sales.
