I'm getting the colleagues who I'm selling the Cohen and MoC for to name a price for me or decide if they prefer eBay. The fact that the last "winner" doesn't actually have money is probably gonna sway them. My Liz statue is up for $750.

A few assiduous members complained that I didn't obey forum rules, so I'm editing the thread out pending deletion. A few of you know how to contact me. Everything else as well as items from others I know in the industry ends up on eBay I suppose. Didn't mean to offend, just bring some rare items directly to serious collectors.

Please PM me, must talk!!!

Are you referring to the one that just went on ebay for like $3700?

That would be odd, considering he came here specifically to say that the price was good for him.

Yup, that's the one. It's quite a gut wrenching overall situation, it seems. I feel horrible for the buyer; but what can you do.

What happened that you feel horrible for him?

Agree.

Indeed, it seems the buyer welched on the deal.

As promised some of the ebay auctions are going back up now. Thanks for looking and sorry for the confusion. I'll likely be hosting several more interesting auctions over the next few months. Sorry we couldn't deal directly.

Let me be clear here, I feel horrible for both the buyer and the seller. As a fellow collector, I feel the buyer's pain. He wanted that thing so badly, and now I'm sure he's in tears. It's terrible! On the other hand, I can understand the sellers need to void the sale. You, as a buyer, should know better than to bid on something, if you can't follow through promptly; or at least, as a buyer, you should first contact the seller and mention any extenuating circumstance that may preclude your ability to promptly finalize the sale, and then ask if it's OK to bid.

Like I said, it's a tough all-around circumstance, and I can sympathize with both sides. Ultimately though, the seller has to do what's best for him, so I can for sure see why the deal had to be canceled.

I too feel bad but I'm selling it for a co-worker who is moving soon, and I too am in the process of packing. The circumstances sadly don't permit much else. If the items sell for less that's OK but we're liquidating keepsakes out of necessity.
