I mean, I get it. Some of you really love the new stuff. The old stuff doesn't appeal. But something like this? Suit I got shut out becasue I lost my internet connection in an office that I was visiting, so I could not bid again. $307? I just bought a couple of things last week, and shouldn't have even been bidding on this. What is going on? Take a break from War by Numbers. Let the Mujer series rest for a while. Letting stuff from before '00 go for this cheap is a crime. A crime I tells ya! Anyway, just had to get this off my chest.

Credit cards my friends. Credit cards. Never had a problem with the old Amex. Also, I would venture that we might start seeing more auctions like this, as people realize the value of what they have. It is amazing how many prints that people have said "we probably will never see again", have been seen again as of late.
Not putting the word "Obey" in the listing obviously decreases the number of views...I never even saw this auction. I would have put down $350 for this had I known.

Triple issue here of seller with zero feedback, no obey in the title, and only shipped to US kept this price down. I never saw it or I would have bid higher for sure.
figured this would go for around $600+ easy otherwise as others have said (had we remembered) I would have definitely bid up on this one. . I have the Tokion version that I got for like $80 or so shipped last year (also a steal).

I'm starting to wonder if his old stuff is going to decline in popularity/value as his newer stuff gets more popular? It seems like the newer fans love his artier works and don't get/care about the Andre connection. Nice score BTW!

I here ya, Andre is def. the allure for me. I get kind of bummed on the inside if there is no andre on the print at all. I was going to bid on this, but i wasn't sure about the seller, and i kind of expected an ebay last 30 seconds war on it and the price to get out of my pre-wedding price range.
Just in relation to 0 feedback bidders and Shep posters. Obviously these people haven't sold posters before and have no idea how to pack them. The last two 0 feedback eBayers I bought from damaged the print that they sent to me by rolling them into the tiny tiny tubes that USPS provides for them. One was from 2003 and one was from 2001

Even if a seller has a lot of feedback, you still gotta verbally gut check with'em to make sure they know how to pack right (e.g. "you're gonna carefully wrap the print in tissue/construction paper, put padding on either end of the tube and put it all in super-strong tube, right?").....
