Bronty Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I posted this on the game art group on FB, but thought maybe the folks here might have some insight? Anybody have any? ** Off topic, but does anyone have any insight on this? Someone clearly wants this badly, but to go from selling for 3600 in 2018 all the way up to a 75k offer now is pretty stunning and certainly doesn't happen, well, pretty much ever. I also tend to think that these rare instances of over the top offers are probably legit because if you were trying to entice someone to make high offers using the make an offer system, you'd never go this high for fear of scaring everyone away. The dates of the offers (3 days windows which is hte expiry period) suggest someone not getting any replies and trying to force the owner to take notice. Check your emails if you bought a Steve Rude around 2018 lol. Sold for 3600 and then offers were: Offers to date: $75,000 on January 25, 2021 $50,000 on January 25, 2021 $40,000 on January 23, 2021 $40,000 on January 16, 2021 $12,000 on June 11, 2020 $12,000 on June 6, 2020 $12,000 on June 3, 2020 $6,000 on May 31, 2020 https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/steve-rude-batman-in-world-war-ii-painting-original-art-2016-17-/a/7189-92182.s?ic19=MotoOffers-ItemDescription-041718 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotSuperPowers? Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 This has to be bogus...you could commission Steve for a fraction of the offer(s) made. Shill offers. Wow. What a hobby. John E., grapeape and Rick2you2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shill offers. Wow. What a hobby. I think its more likely to be legit. If it was bogus you'd stop at a number more believable. When its this over the top, its real IMO.

Siege Perilous Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Holy Hell. That's insanity! Does HA always list the offers that were turned down on the listing? I don't know if I've come across that before. Edited January 28, 2021 by ZimmermanTelegram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICKYBOBBY Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Never say never - was the under bidder on this piece.

PhilipB2k17 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It does make me wonder how much that blown Dark Knight recreation page commission might go for now. Rude still has it on his site for $5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatEscape Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Shocking to me as well. Reminds me when that Olivia Wonder Woman painting sold in 2017 for $65k on Heritage (10x previous sales). Immediately sold mine for before prices normalized. Actually, I did buy a Steve Rude painting on Heritage late 2017, same size but not as cool and less than half the price. But I don't have offers turned on.
