I also get 24" x 36" from another artist at a special price with full backgrounds but he is not a comic artist. The charges most are asking is far fetched.

I wouldn't call it that. For a very long time artists have been under paid for their work, some still so. I think people just under value the skill and at times take it for granted.

Personally no. I've probably become more sensitive to prices lately having dealt with a number of artists who have ripped me off recently.

I generally don't go over $200-$250 for a full figure, especially since being based in Canada and usually dealing with US based artists, a 200$ commish with shipping will usually end up being around 400$ Canadian after the exchange rate anyways, so there is a lot of incentive to try and stay below $250.

Lately I've been finding "lesser-known" artists do just as good of a job, sometimes better than big names anyways, at a fraction of the price.

i guess sellers have become desensitized to asking crazy prices.

I was just quoted $4k for a 9x12 bust. And separately was quoted $3k for a largely stat piece that had sat at on a dealers website for years for 1/4th of the price.

It is getting crazy. You have to work harder to find art at FMV as everyone thinks their art is suddenly 2-4X the value it was yesterday. I am very happy to have amassed a collection that means a lot to me and one I can be content with if this trend continues. I am also happy to have other smaller hobbies that are fun in case art becomes cost prohibitive. I made the decision to freeze out after Toronto this year and it has actually been very easy as most art I have seen goes for more than I would be willing to pay.

I got tempted to pull the trigger on a couple pages from the Batman who laughs by Riley Rossmo on Felix's site this morning but decided to hold off and keep saving for ECCC.

I just looked and all the pages are already sold out.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Felix prices published stuff well. Who woulda thunk there’s reps who actually try to move their artists’ art

Yeah the prices were fair. Nothing outrageous. A few pages sold fairly quickly and others seemed to start moving after a few minutes.
