Pricing Guidance for Album Cover HPMs

Post by circa77 »

I have not paid much attention in the last few years to pricing on Album Cover HPMs.

I am probably going to be selling 1 or 2 here in the near future. I checked Ebeans and Ebay completed listings, but they were not much help.

As of today's secondary market (Jan. 2014) what would be expected asking and sell prices for Album HPMs with 1) Strong Images, 2) Average Images (which mine fall under), and 3) poor images?

I after I determine a starting point I will be posting a "for sale" thread in the appropriate sub forum. If you have any interest and cannot wait, PM me.

Well...based on my own experience of selling and trading a few:

Awesome Images - $4200 - $6000 ( Peace Bomber, Molotov Hips, etc.)
Average Images - $3200 - $4000 ( Bass in your Face, Underworld, etc)
Poor Images - $2800 - $3000

It really depends on demand and how important an image is to someone. Also, it appears the older album covers command a higher value.

Good luck.

Probably because the older covers are editions of 6 and the newer are editions of 8

You can still find some lesser quality images for primary which is 2200$ at some galleries.

I have been looking for a album cover for awhile now and I have been very picky, I think for my most sought after image I would pay max 3500$.

Just giving persecptive from a buyers point of view.

Last time I sold a couple I thought there was a lot of resistance from buyers at $4K or higher on good images. I think Molotov Hips was the only one I sold higher than that price and most were mid $3Ks.

Am I correct in assuming that these images would be considered "average"?
