What the f*ck?

[chronic]

When did these become valuable collector's items?

Scott used to send me these gratis (though unfortunately folded) whenever I bought a book from him... sometimes two or three at a time. I gave most of them away. I'm not even certain that I still have one.

Wow. I bought one of these - unfolded and signed by Montfort - about two years ago for $40.
That price is nuts.

Wow. Still. Good to see a publisher get this kind of dough for what he published, instead of others....

Yes, I have 5 or 6 of thses, nicely rolled in a tube. May be time to break them out.

Break one this way Bill! Seriously, this is one item I have looked at recently, but I always draw the line at about $20... Now this one's gone for $200? :eek:

I like to hang Bukowski bits on the wall, but I don't have a wall good enough for a $200 poster.

And no TMF in sight :confused:

Hopefully, Scott has many more left and I'll snag one for a more realistic price.

eBay - you just never know do you.

Hi,
I'll sell you one at a reasonable price. Contact me offlist at bill
@bospress.net. I know that $200 or anything near that is unreasonable. $20 sounds better...

Of course, it's worth whatever anyone is willing to pay for it, but that's not how I would spend $200 on Bukowski. Makes me sick to think my 2 original letters (one with a good drawing, one mutilated) brought $500 and this poster (must be many out there) brought $200. Crazy. But that's eBay. So unpredictable.

whoever paid 200 bucks for that thing got taken.

wow..
$200 is a lot of money, anyone can have mine for 100 bucks! No prob...
