estrangedtwat Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I was skeptical at first, seeing these prices, but I see no reason why they'll ever go down. There's never going to be more of these made. The band will always have a much larger following than the number of insanely popular lithos. Meaning, Cinci, Kobe, London 1, Paris, the LA tryptych, etc.....those are never going to be cheaper. If anything, they're just going to keep going up. At first I was baffled people were willing to spend so much on "new" merchandise, but it makes sense. These are truly limited and highly sought after. There are only 250 legitimate Cinci lithos in the world. ALL of them are in hands of collectors right now. Even if HALF of those collectors decide to ever selll them....you really think there will only be 125 people around the world that want to buy them? Demand is always going to outstrip supply for the "hot" ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexpro Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Personally, I don't see the GNR lithos as a particularly profitable investment. Currently the market is very hot mainly due to regret factor, i.e. people leaving the show without a litho and willing to pay top dollar on eBay to get it. There's also a novelty factor contributing to this, which is inevitably going to wear out once the band finishes the tour and moves on. Looking at the rock memorabilia from the 70-80s, it doesn't keep value particularly well, even when it comes to the limited series prints. Personally, I paid secondary market prices for some GNR lithos, but I'm realistic about their actual value 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcs953 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I agree, I too paid some high prices on eBay to get the prints I wanted, once the tour ends, some of the rarer lithos will hit the market and the prices will come down, people are always looking for extra cash, personally, I have the disposable income to pay two grand for a kobe if I wanted to, however, I believe I should be taken advantage of if I was dumb enough to pay that amount.

Just curious if you have such deep pockets, why were you quibbling about the price for the Slane on Ebay, or trying to undercut for the Cinncinatti? Those were great deals!

Mcs953 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 In response to dacatzass: first: I never said I had deep pockets I said I had disposable income. second: how do you know that I didn’t purchase that slane? third: your opinion on the Cincinnati I could buy One right now for 500 but I will wait as I would rather trade. fourth: I am not in this forum to try to rip anybody off, I am a fan and a collector, I am not trying to hurt anybody’s pockets here. I have been silent on this forum for a while and gave o boy recently joined, however, I have been watching the threads. A lot of the members here, got these lithos by trading and buying on here, now, since I want the 4 London 1, Paris, Cincinnati, and kobe, some expect me to pay 5 grand? Not going to happen, wgen the moscow litho popped up on eBay, I bought one and posted a link here to help the collectors, obviously, you would try to buy them all up and sell me one for 1000, not cool, perhaps you sell sell used cars for a living because you sure act like used car salesman? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? You in the market for a used car?

I believe one day people will be hard up for cash and sale the lithos for whatever they can get. I’ve seen it with other band lithos on eBay. As some pointed out the market is hot for a number of variables and even then it’s a niche market and will fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate. Just thought I'd let you know there's a London 1 on eBay. It's a bit steep, way out of my budget (wish I'd paid the £40 on the day! But went with the shirt). The list price is £1100, but said would consider offers. Thought I'd give you a heads up. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get #69 of 200 though, which made me giggle 🤣 I even had a friend that went to London Night 2, and I gave him money to get me the shirt or lithograph. He got me the shirt. It's a cool shirt, but looking back I just wish I'd said to get the litho. Edited July 23, 2018 by DeathCubeUK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcs953 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It is nice, so glad I got one, the waves splashing on the chess board is a nice effect, however, when I first looked at it thought the grim reaper looked like earth Vader, for me, Madrid 2018 is the best of this leg, amazingly done.
