I lied too. My last words. . .
Yes, it's the Wild West right now in photos. Is that photo worth $1,000 or $10,000. Not always so clear. No VCP or other database to easily consult. But if the last two sales of a photo in the last two years were $500 and then $700 a few months later, I'd be hesitant to pay $4,000 unless you are buying it totally removed from any worry about valuation. |

I have been offered double on an item that I mentioned before the next day and turned down.. am I stupid because of it? I think you have photos I would pay you double or even triple that you picked up a year or so ago. If you do not sell them to me, does that make you wrong? As more people get in the photos, prices are going to fluctuate. Anytime new price points are established , pleople will resists. People that Have missed the boat so to speak are going to fight it. People that Have been doing it for a long time and want to continue to buy photos of the same prices are going to fight the change. People that have sold or traded photos and regret it(I have a couple instances) might fight it. And people that simply don't understand photos and think prices are stupid are going to fight it. If photos take off where they could be, it will affect a lot of collectors and dealers. Don't worry.. be happy .. and collect what you want and let others do the same. Ps: sorry about potential gibberish.. voice texting again.

No gibberish at all. Makes a lot of sense.

I have bought a few unique (or close to it) items thinking I paid too much, then have someone offer me even more a few weeks/months later. More than once the story has been that they just didn't have the cash to keep bidding, but now they do and think the item is well worth paying the premium. Whoever bought Josh might think he has a better audience on ebay than Rhys did, and that he got a great deal. On the flip side, I have seen Rhys sell photos in his auction for double what I was asking for the exact same print on ebay. That Josh Gibson print is a great one, regardless of its worth.
