Ken-Hawaii Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 Are those sales numbers real? Why so low?Ken Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 Those are the sales numbers listed. As far as why? I assume it's because I wasn't there. Had I been, they surely would've gone way higher and I'd ask myself why I went all the way to Europe to be disappointed. 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 Didn't mean to imply you were wrong, Joe, just wondering if the list missed a decimal place. Ken Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 I know and didn't take it that way. I wish there would be a misplaced decimal, but sadly no. Quote
AndyMcK Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 Damn, missed that totally! Would have been good to bid on them as I wouldn't have to pay the 24% tax when inside EU. Antti Quote
Darcy Posted July 23, 2017 Report Posted July 23, 2017 Are those sales numbers real? Why so low? Ken Add 30% buyer's premium. Reduce by crappy photos so I can't tell how good this is or not. Reduce by cost of papers and polish and any other restoration fee. Reduce by general fudge factor of these might be the fake ones and someone picked over the good ones before it went to auction. Reduce by crap, I thought the auction was next week. 1 Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted July 23, 2017 Report Posted July 23, 2017 All fair points Darcy, as always, but I think your last one was the best one! Quote
