drymounted is a sensor word that the forum uses to replace another word ;)

yeah but i think people have started to actually use the word "drymounted" instead of the actual word they mean :) (or i could be completely wrong and the print is actually drymounted)

I don't think it was, the auction states:
You are bidding on a Mint Sheppard Fairey Obey Giant print #65/200 from 2003. The item was framed right after purchase and has been kept in a dry environment since.

Is this low or where it should be?

I remember when it was hard to find this one for under a 1k.

i think it may have been slightly lower then it should be but overall in the ballpark.... people will disagree (mostly those who are invested and want their collection to remain at the inflated prices), but the market is finally righting itself.

better to have a market right itself then burst....

I would say the price was Ok for a print in Puerto Rico, shipping parcel post, signed recently, and not from the original run. That may have had something to do with it as well.

I agree on both counts, especially on the market correcting itself.

I spaced on the location, and just saw the amount and only 1 bid.
I think the sig is correct though.

Maybe the 29.00 shipping might have had something to do with that. :)

Yeah, I inquired why that was so high but did not receive a response. I'm sure that may have turned-off a lot of would be bidders. Even so, the last one went for a good bit over $300.
