On posting photos

[Del Davis]

My initial reaction, Ed, when you started posting photos was that this exposure was driving up the prices of photos since I saw more activity on items that I was bidding on once you posted. I no longer believe that that is true. I have observed the same escalation on photos that you have never posted.
The correct value of a photo is what a buyer is willing to pay for it and like many others I am amazed at what some collectors are willing to pay. I only wish that I had their resources.
If nothing else your postings allow all of us to view images that we might not otherwise have had an opportunity to view because they will never in fact be published in our lifetime. The image is far more important for many than owning the individual photo. I doubt if the timing of your posting here has much effect on the final price. So post away!
