In my opinion, a new thread with a dedicated opening post with an FAQ would be nice. I volunteer to maintain it if nobody else really wants to.



Also, looks like no second sale of Normandy's... *sadface*

erik212, don't give up hope yet.  I still hope for a second sale too by what Jedi has said about reprinting the damaged numbers.

Quick update on the replacements. We have no run out of hold back Lithographs. We are going to be doing a small print run which will be signed and numbered with the numbers of Lithographs that were damaged and destroyed.

This small print run to replace the damaged numbers should put them back into having reserve stock again.  That's logical right?!  I hope...!  Anyways, fingers crossed and wallet at the ready.

Well, it'd be nice, but... I was interpreting that as meaning they were printing more because they had completely run out of reserves, and that this new batch would only be to make up for the damaged ones they weren't already able to replace. So, I rather doubt there will be a second sale. (Wouldn't complain if I were wrong, though!)

[BioWareStore Jedi]

There will likely (not definitely) be a second sale. We will replace all damaged Lithographs and sell the rest. My guess is there should be between 25-40 left over when we're done. The next three Lithographs and Normandy will be signed and hopefully sent to the store next week.

 My computer is being pretty screwy about posting links...or posting anything at all, really...But  I just saw an Illusive Man/Afterlife combo on eBay with no reserve ($12.50 with 8 days to go), but then noticed the lines in the the prints. Not visible (in the photos) from straight-on, but DEFINITELY visible from the side. Still, I only bring it up because I've seen so many people talking about wanting both of these prints. 

So I guess if you're willing to risk it for a low price... Give it a try.

@revisedr3ality

I guess its one of those "what would you pay for ruined lithographs" auctions

For sure. I'm wondering if the people bidding think they can steam out the creases, or if they just want one so badly they're willing to live with it. Either way, it'll be interesting to see what they're willing to pay. What a shame though...they're both such beautiful prints.



Every time I see a damaged litho, a little piece of my graphic designing soul dies.

[havoc373]

the afterlife litho doesnt seem so bad. but that illusive man is beyond hope
Fortunatly my gift illusive man from jedi was almost pristine. small fold in the top left corner but its not noticeable once framed

too bad i'm not that interested in afterlife. if it were a minuteman, omega or citadel then you've got my attention even if it has those folds

Agreed!! I would risk it for a Citadel or Minuteman for sure. My Illusive Man had the same fold, but like you said, it was absolutely not a big deal at all. I'm so excited to have it! I like the Afterlife more than I thought I would, but I'm not jumping up and down to see one on eBay in any condition. Doesn't look like I'll ever be able to afford anything in the Citadel family though.

But if I ever win the lottery, I'll track down and buy everyone here a Citadel and Illium.

I'm surprised to see what some of these damaged lithos go for. Just recently a Normandy with four banged up corners went for $140 including shipping, while a very wrinkled Garrus brought $184. I don't know how one would get those wrinkles out.

I am too. I can't believe a heavily damaged Garrus went for $184 while an almost mint Garrus remains on eBay for $80 with less than a day to go. Not to say the bidding won't go higher, but sometimes you get lucky. I mentioned it before, but I managed to get a Collectors litho off of eBay for $15 not too long ago. It's not really in high demand, but I was excited to add to my collection for such a low price. Sometimes a little patience and a lot of luck pays off!

[ShepardOsiris]

I don't think it's all that suprising to see these damaged lithos go for so high. The bidders don't have the benefit of hindsight, they have no clue if another Garrus or one in better condition will pop up tomorrow, next week, or never. If they want one, it's bid on it now, or risk never getting one.



And the whole system is based on multi bidders, if you look at many of the lithos that have gone up for sale on eBay, not all, but many have basically boiled down to a war between only 2 or 3 main bidders, it's not like there are 25 bidders ravenously bidding on each litho. You take a couple of those people out of the equation by having them buy beaten up ones, and there's no competition left. The last people standing can walk in and buy the next one much cheaper.



I think that's really what's going on with a lot of these. Somebody panics and bids way too high to make sure they get it, even if it's busted up. A seller sees the auction and says "I want in on this" puts up a good one, but nobody is left to bid on it.



It makes it almost impossible to put an accurate value on any of the lithos. If your trying to find one, there isn't really a yardstick, it's just down to if you get lucky or not with your competition.

Only idiots usually bid with more than 10 minutes left. It will go higher.

I guess, but why?
If I only can spend X ammount on a litho on Ebay, what's the difference in bidding later?
Never seemed logical to me :/

[Althorne]

Bidding is usually done in the last few seconds by serious bidders. The reason for this is that bidding early can and usually will start a bidding war. Bidding in the last few seconds don't give people a chance, and can often help you snag something for a good price.



I got my Jack for $42 by doing this. The next one on eBay went for $80 or something.



The trick is, if the item is under your maximum bid, put your max bid in when there's about 10s left. Then it's very hard for people to bid against it.



I really shouldn't be telling you this...

It's pretty much common sense.

Oh, guess you shouldn't have told me xD
Nah, but thanks.. I've lost a few bids on my national auction site. Maybe you helped me.

[Tennyochan]

^i use bidnip to snipe auctions....(i think first sign up one is free, but you have to pay for it after. its ok if you use ebay)

You put your maxbid, how much your willing to part with. The program/site automatically bids for you in the last seconds(1-3secs) before auction end.
so you'll either snipe the auction from someone real cheap, or the person with the highest/max bid will win out.(if their using something similar)

but since i said that, maybe people lurk these forums and you won't be able to snipe any auctions lol

I believe this practice is called e-bay sniping if you want to find out more, but I don't think it's really too popular with sellers.

Edit:  Ahh... I see tenny has just got in before me.

That's what I was kind of talking about. If I'm really interested in something, I'll just throw out the absolute max I can spend. If someone wants to go higher, they will, but I usually know my max before there's ten minutes left in the auction. I guess some people just play eBay a little differently. 

Also, the reason I mostly have to do it this way is because I don't really have a lot of money to be throwing around on these things, which is the reason I'll more than likely never get the pricier ones. It's pretty much no surprise when someone can beat my max bid...Since my max bid is never over-the-top. I also don't do a lot of shopping on eBay. Oh well.

[erik212]

But why show everyone your max bid when you can just enter it right at the end, before anyone has a chance to see it and one up you?

[Crjans]

actually no one ever sees your max bid on ebay unless they outbid you anyway... and not everyone (myself included) can sit at a computer 24/7 to make sure they are able to bid in the last 10 seconds... not to mention this tactic has become so popular that it really has lost most if not all of it's usefullness if you have as many programs dedicated to a technique like this what really makes you think it's giving you an edge when thousands or even millions of other people are doing the exact same thing?

3 More lithographs are coming already?  I thought you guys were done for awhile.

Will these all be ME?  Or, will there be a Dragon Age litho in there?

[BioWareStore Jedi]

DA Lithographs looks like end of Oct. Very tentative at the moment.

[Dsurian]

Good news...need some DAO on my wall.
