Already people trying to sell it on ebay for $899-5999 depending on which edition it is. Stupid.
It looks someone already bought an unsigned one for $499.00. That is stupid (or a fake sale).

It came faster than I thought it would be.

Guess I have to pass on this one, though

And yep, the price for the signed one is indeed absurd

Been up less than an hour and already 2 watchers and "22 people viewed within the last hour."

if it was a sure resale then sure Id buy one for 350 to make profit. But idk how its all going to play out on ebay. The one mentioned earlier could have been a fake sale.

* Now 3 watchers.

High $$$ reselling auctions if anything help irrational as it solidifies their merchandise as value-holding and collectible. People will be sure to buy the next LE right away at retail.
It's really hard to say either way I suppose. The last 2 signed art prints haven't sold out. Maybe prices will rise after they do. Either way, this:

I've often wondered if resellers come on here to try and gauge how desirable any particular piece is

Hence our distaste may turn some from trying to resell it

You'd be surprised how often I get contacted by lurkers.
They're watching, make no mistake about it.

Edition size is too big anyways with 500 plus it being a first edition

Doubt this one's going to go into grail territory even if it's a beautiful piece

Still, it will go very well in people's collections who own the MOC already The MOC is still my favourite of the two though xx
