Title: What do you think would be a good asking price for this Dali?
Post by: icedgold10 on October 05, 2013, 12:54:15 PM: I have seen such a big range in selling prices for his work. What is this probably really worth? Comes with COA and in huge frame.
HAND SIGNED LTD EDITION FACSIMILE COA 102/500 PRINT SIZE 24" X 32" FRAME SIZE 38" X 45"

Post by: Ipcress on October 05, 2013, 01:08:48 PM: This is only £20-30. " The Businessman ". Facsimile signature, like the Madame Butterfly programme.

Basically a print of a print.

Post by: icedgold10 on October 05, 2013, 01:23:55 PM: Interesting. They retailed over here for $800. Maybe someone liked the frame.

but...i,ve never seen this picture....I,m more into his surreal works...

Post by: icedgold10 on October 05, 2013, 05:29:20 PM: Not always, I go on your Ebay sometimes. Here I'm hoping for a better Dali print market. It seems like they get better prices here for them.

Post by: bigwull on October 06, 2013, 05:11:59 AM: that,s because they don,t know any better....they see Dali...Limited Edition...and think..WoW...that,s cheap....i can,t make a profit on that....then...late r when they find out how much they go for over here....its..Aargh!! ;D
Title: Re: What do you think would be a good asking price for this Dali?
Post by: Ipcress on October 06, 2013, 08:59:31 AM: I don't see any point in paying extra for a limited edition print that has nothing to distinguish it from other prints. Facsimile signature ? Same as other prints. Probably cheapish paper stock, too. It's not like it's a limited edition silkscreen / screenprint on wove which would increase quality and value.

" Certificates Of Authenticity " are fools gold on Ebay. They mean nothing unless they come from the estate of the artist or a fully recognised source.

Post by: icedgold10 on October 06, 2013, 09:08:27 AM: For myself I never buy prints because they make no sense to me. For some reason people in the U.S. like prints. I work for a catalog company and people buy tons of prints. I never figured out why.
