are there any pictures of the lithos in 1920x1080 quality?

Which litho pictures are you looking for?

I'm guessing that you are looking for a wallpaper size. (My screes uses the same resolution.)

Yeah folks, these lithographs sell for $200+. I know that if I were selling them, I'd definitely put the price high. Higher than that even. I'd test the waters.



So if you want them cheap, you better get them when they drop. But if you REALLY want them and have the money to put down, eBay is your best bet. Literally.

That will be the day I buy a litho on ebay! Originally $40...Now available for $400!

Its an easy way to make money. a 10x mark up generates a ton of profit, and there ARE people who will pay that much.

And that's just for ONE lithograph. You really start to rake it in when you sell them individually and have more than one.

You can possibly make even more if they are up for bidding.

I have the Thane Lithograph, so could I take a picture and upload it to my album for you to use?

[CommanderGshep]

@tj987654321 that would be very appreciated.

Make you wonder why most people set it as the Buy it Now option. Instead, why don't you just set a reserve?

Good, I'll send you a friend invitation so only my friends can use it.

Just to tell you, It might take a few days for me to prepare the picture. (between my busy schedule). If I don't have it done by 9:00 PM EST tommorrow, I'll try again Friday. I'll send you a message when it is done.

I just have one little issue however, the litho is a portrait and the screen is a landscape, so I will have to play around with it until it looks proper.

Well, some people don't like to bid. They just WANT what they WANT.

So sometimes, you're better off setting a "Buy it now for $450" then "Starting Bid at $300".

The buy it now option might end up selling, while the bid will never take off.

I know that if I was doing it though, I'd start out with bids at $500.

If that didn't go anywhere, I'd try again, lowering the price by $50 each time until I got a successful bid, and then hopefully, through bidding, have the price go up.

The price sounds ridiculous, but since everything in the world can have any price put on it, everything in the world that is a material object is effectively worthless.

Actually that price doesn't sound completely ridiculous; some fans are getting desperate.

Honestly, I do plan on holding on to mine for a long time. I believe that they will keep on increasing in value over time since they are limited.

I imagine that a year from now, you could push the price higher than $500 per litho.

Thing is, by then, you have to factor in the DEMAND. If no one wants one, you're boned.

While if you try to sell it now or within the next few months, its still on people's minds.

In which case, if you bought two packs of lithos and sell each of them individually, you can make a good $2000.

Factoring in 2 day shipping, you'd of spent $190. Meaning you'd garner a profit of $1810.

That is pretty damn good. On top of that, if you continue to do this for every litho release, you can make seriously good cash while taking comfort in the fact that someone who missed out on the lithos can get one.

Course, if you hadn't bought 2 packs of 2, they probably could've nabbed them for a fraction of the eBay price. Hahahaha

+1 for Business.

Actually, I believe that demand keep on increasing as long as ME 3 is the best one out of the series, and if they actually make an excellent movie that garners more attention to the ME franchise.

[LPPrince]

Interest will increase with the movie and definitely with ME3.

It just depends if someone is willing to pay whatever price is listed at the time.

Anyone who plans to sell these on eBay has to make the choice to either sell them now, or wait a year or so and sell them later.

Its high risk, high reward. And the only way these prices can be placed so high is if the lithos remain in mint condition.

This post right here is why we need a limit of 1 per person.  There is no reason at all that any fan would want anything other than one.  The only reason to buy more than one is to try and get rich and to be a dick to the other people out there that are now deprived of the artwork.  

They should also release full size un-signed lithos and tell people to deal with it.  Destroy the eBay exorbitant mark-up and let people display the nice artwork without being taken to the cleaners by money-grubbing assclowns.  I'm sure most fans wouldn't care if it's unsigned;  I like the artwork for itself and if it's signed... that's a bonus.

[LPPrince]

Well, the two per person limit is there for a few reasons.

One is because there needs to be enough for quite a few people, as these pieces are limited.

Two is obviously because they don't want people making a business out of doing things like that.

But the two per person limit is fine.

What if I want to buy one for me and one for a friend, as I did today?

If it was down to one per person, I wouldn't be able to get my friend a litho for a christmas present.

If your "friend" doesn't care enough to wait and spam F5, then he/she doesn't get one.  It should be 1 per person limit until 30 minutes or something like that.  Let the fans get theirs and if any are left over, everyone can start buying for their friends and start listing duplicates on eBay for 11ty percent markup.

Fans are missing out on these things because people are being greedy ****s.  Within 20 minutes of the initial miranda sale, these were already being listed on eBay for $300.  There's no reason to not buy as many as possible when they're being resold for nearly 700% markup.  An extra set of the miranda/legion litho would pay for a complete set of thane/tali/grunt/miranda/legion with enough leftover to cover expedited shipping for free.  It's silly and pointless to allow this to happen.

[TheBoss1138]

have a sale of just the miranda litho and ill buy it :3, legion is cool n all...I just like the hawt perfectly engineered woman

[LPPrince]

I honestly don't see the logic behind not being able to buy one for a friend, but we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm fine with the 2 per person rule.

As for TheBoss1138, they will be sold individually later on in the Bioware store, or sooner than that, on eBay from those who are putting them up.

But as I said before, beware of high prices.

Because the number of extra copies that are actually "for a friend" (if any) are almost certainly dwarfed by those being bought by speculators to sell on Ebay.  It rather sucks when serious fans of the franchise have been queueing up to buy them and missed out because some of those first in line took extra copies.

People don't like it for the same reason people don't like ticket touts; and similarly to the promoters and sellers of concert tickets, Bioware are already getting much more strict about placing limits on the way they're sold.  I've no problems with the one-per-person rule.  In some cases it'll be unfair, e.g. for those who miss both windows because of work commitments, but overall it's a lot less unfair than the alternative.

I know, I almost missed them too. Last time, at least there was a week's notice.

[DCYNIGR8]

Wish there was more notice about these going on sale, especially for people like myself who are in different countries and have different time zones. Guess now I'll have to wait until January to try and get these. Disappointed.

Yes, I got my three pack.



Also, I just got a shipment notification this morning for the single Tali litho I ordered.
