Stan and Sharon Sakai CAPS Auctions

[Sofistocat]

I didn't see any other threads about this. Here is the pertinent info for these auctions. There have been a TON of donations and art submissions. I'm very excited to see how much appreciation the Sakai's have received from the fanbase. Y'all Rock!!! The auctions are 10 day auctions and will run over the course of the next few weeks.

There is something for everybody's price range, so head on over to eBay and take a gander. Help Stan and Sharon because if your a Usagi fan, they've helped you... :tcool:

So Mayhem, you gonna buy that Jeff Smith "Bone" piece? Crazy...

Really looking forward to seeing the 4 pieces I donated go on the block. Will post here when they do. 1 TMNT realted item, 1 Usagi related item and 2 TMNT artist Captain America sketches.

Heh yeah... I think I'll be leaving the Bone piece to Jeff Smith fans ;)

Don't know if I'll bid on anything from the first wave, but I might through a couple of hopeful bids in...

Yep, Jeff Smith bone material is sooooo scarce. Its so awesome he's offering this up for Stan as it will do really well

Figures I make a funny about the high prices already and the auctions had to be shut down yesterday. CAPS had major issues with the bay and apparently international bidding was not able to be completed. Mayhem, this is all your fault...

I guess it's better to get the bugs worked out in the beginning. Luckily, it doesn't seem like the bidding missed too much of a beat.

[Mayhem]

The major beef that eBay had was CAPS was listing what future auctions by certain artists were coming up. Apparently you are not allowed to do that, so they had to relist because they couldn't edit the existing ones.

See also a very silly move by eBay. You would think the auction being non-profit that eBay would be cool, but no...

CAPS posted new items on the auction page. They posted one of the sketches I donated too :tcool:

Buy a Kevin Eastman sketch and help Stan and Sharon

Just bumping for benefits. The KE Captain America sketch sold yesterday for good money. Hopefully it helps the Sakai's.

Not to be confused with the "Sakia's"... If you follow ebay alot, you might pick up on the $4K joke.

[Mayhem]

Yes heh... that piece has been up before, and about the same price I think. Considering most of the coloured art from the same period I own I paid about a tenth of that asking price, you could say it was a little ambitious :lol:

or possibly ambiguous? maybe there is a Sakia out there who was robbed by the Sakai we all know and love many moons ago? maybe Sakia's last bittersweet emotions were put into this piece before he hardheartedly bowed to Sakai? maybe that's why this Sakia is so damned expensive? maybe there is more historical significance tying this page to true Ronin than any Sakai page of a rabbit ever could?

maybe it's a ignorant sellers horrible semi-slanderous typo, repeatedly done no less, by someone who really believes FMV is the highest price paid on eBay in the past 12 months and whose generally a root cause for those ugly market swings we all love...

maybe
