Hey all,
Guilty. I won this one. I had about 7 items that I was active on during Thurs thru Sunday and got blown out of the water on all by a good amount. Some interior pages that went for 5k in the Nov HA signature were re-posted, going for more than 2.5x this auction -- just five months later. Other pages that I had pegged for 10 to 15k (even in the new hyper-OA pricing world) were hitting high-20k.
So by the time that Nexus page rolled around near the end of the auction, I got out over my skis. Rude sold these off his site for about $2k-3.5k years ago, so when it started at 2k, I thought maybe 5k or 6k max, but no ... guess I gotta chalk it up to blind grief/fury bidding on my part on those last couple of clicks. Didn't want to strike out completely. That said, I really love this page and glad I got it after the buyer's remorse quickly faded. One of the better Nexus pages I've seen.
BTW Hekla: that page wasn't just a web-comic, rather Rude published an oversized comic newspaper (like Wed comics) as part of his original Kickstarter, later collecting in a softcover trade and oversized hardcover. I'd recommend picking up the newsprint if you've never seen it -- cool project.
