kbmcvay Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Some of the comments above mine make it seem like Albert's prices are 100% firm with no negotiation at all and that if you get free shipping on $10K of art you got a deal. That isn't the case in my experience. Also Albert has plenty of marked discount prices at the Cons I have attended some as deep as 25-30% so he does offer deals but you need to know what the price is on the website to understand that these discounts exist because he's not putting a 20% off post it note on there.

vodou Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Cash is king. Even for Albert. Especially at cons. I wonder if those cash sales are being dutifully tabulated and reported to the IRS? ( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will definitely negotiate. Even the Donnelly’s will negotiate. But, Albert does know the market and what is likely to have strong demand.

DeadpoolJr. Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I think Albert while not outright sales is willing to do negotiating on some of his inventory. While never buying from him myself I do remember talking to him at a con and him agreeing to take a few hundred off a piece I was thinking about getting.
