I was wondering if you could help me to price or to find people who may be interested in this poster. Through my research, I have found that sellers in several countries have it listed on their vendor sites for no less than $1000 USD. I do suspect that this might be more of a gallery price, without any motive or intent to actually sell at that price. Not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

(This isn't my poster, just an example of what it looks like.)

Thank you,
Hawk.

If you are interested in purchasing the poster... mine is up on Amazon for $750, which is as far as I know, the lowest on the internet, all international sellers included. The condition is excellent too, like new... no rips, no markings.

Oh yeah and this poster is special because Elsevier stopped making them. They're out of print, and super hard to find online. Not surprising that only a few years ago, they were only 2 to 3 hundred USD... now the price is more of a collector's price.

Let me know if you're interested.

Here's my listing:

I was tempted till I've seen that I already have mine. Perfect condition, unextracted from the elsevier carton tube.

Perhaps the problem is that everyone who could be interested, already have it.

Good luck with your sale!

I thought this is no trading site?

[hawkjames]

Is it? My bad. I thought it was relevant. Didn't know how slow the posts were too. An auction would just be silly on that tiny little board.

I did more come here for advice on 1) the price; and 2) a target market or good place to sell, where people are looking for that kinda thing. Just feels dumb not to ask at the same time. Anyway,

Just PM me if you're interested.

Hi Hawk,

Volkmar is right. FMF is not a trading site, unless for rock exchange with no money involved. If you need a quotation, I would recommend you to post a message to mindat.org which has a topic for commercials.

As you already invited folks who are interested in to send you a PM, I'm going to close this thread.

Cheers
