You keep saying that Bryn but I just don't see it. Maybe calmed down a bit but his fudge still sells for waaaaay more than it should IMO. Especially the minis.

It definitely did. Welker market will follow. Old, rare full sizes are holding value, but almost all the minis and somewhat new full sizes are tanking like crazy.

I tried to sell it for the same price I paid. No bites. Had to move it quickly.

And I agree raffles are usually shady. Hence I rarely ever do them anymore. But no one was buying the Listening at $800 shipped, so I raffled it.
So you know it's shady, did an extra shady one but it's ok because you didn't want to lose money? News flash sometimes you don't get your money back. How much did you make in the raffle?

I didn't mean for it to be shady. Can't control when my internet goes to fudge. I meant raffles are more rip offs than shady. If they're done properly, they're not shady. I made $100 off the raffle, and put it all towards the purp. And I was trying to sell my black for a loss. $800, plus about $75 to ship after supplies/insurance would have been a loss to me. But no one would buy it straight up. I posted it everywhere for multiple days in a row and got no bites.

Shipped between two pieces of wood, and cardboard that was about 18x18. Insured for $900. Was a little cheaper than $75, but I was just estimating. Think it was $60-65. Clearly you guys haven't shipped valuable prints flat. Insurance alone was probably like $20.

Love this Cabernet Gazings. Still not as good as the purple rubber of the gig print but nice nonetheless. Purp Disposal isn't bad either.
