Quick ? about Emek wishlist

[GoBluePanic]

I have never done Emek's wishlist before and my turn has come. I understand that the wishlist prices are market price, that's fine. I thought that the price quoted for 1 of the prints seemed a slightly optimistic view of the market. Does Emek tend to doodle a little more on wishlist prints? I know I've seen some that were ridiculous but I don't know if they were wishlist. Bryndavies Phish 95 comes to mind

i just got one from the wishlist. Mine is doodled pretty nice (the doodled is dated 1996, so....) i also received a lot of handbills. it was worth it for me, for the print i got

[electrachrome]

many of those Phish 95's have extensive doodling. I those are an anomaly and the pricing has more to do with how many Emek has left in his archive.

Does it take a while after sending a wish list til you hear back?

Depends on how thick an envelope you stuff into your email.

I mean...it was a couple of weeks before they got back to me. That was a few years ago though.

Thanks electrochrome

Maybe 6 weeks here Haven. I wasn't expecting it to be that quick honestly.

He responded to my recent wishlist request in under 2 months. Not sure how long exactly, but it was probably about 4-6 weeks. Very fast.

Definitely do it if it was on your wish list. Price might be high but it's what he has available and great people to work with.

I think I asked for a doodle or two and he was more than willing.

Wouldn't you rather pay the premium to the artist than a random on here or ebay? Emek is always good about throwing in hand bills and stuff as well. If it was a print I wanted I wouldn't hesitate

Trading with randos makes the community go 'round!

My wishlist came at a terrible time and I couldn't buy anything, but I thought one of my prices was very optimistic. When I resubmit in a couple months I probably will not add that one again.

If you are going to ask for something it would be best to stick to post 2002 prints... He has that stuff.
I have found that Emek's down-the-road prices are still less than the going rate.
He takes care of everyone in time... I don't know how he deals with all of us crazies, but he does it well.

[Hermit]

I have done it and he was a pleasure to deal with,took a month or so to respond to my wish

[haven]

Might have to give this a whirl. Thanks for the responses, gents.

You might be surprised. I got what many would consider one of his classic posters from him for significantly less than most recent aftermarket prices.
