<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2008461, member: 19065&quot;]<span style="color: #0000ff">• What do you think the demand will be for the large card? </span></p><p><br /></p><p>I think there will be plenty lot of interest, perhaps enough to sell out a small run of say even 100, especially if they were numbered or otherwise date-stamped (canceled) at the show. I might expect slow sales of the entire edition if not numbered despite indicating a limited run. The challenge of travelers flying in/out of the venue will be shipping it home, what to do with it while at the show, etc. and this will influence some decision to purchase or not. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">• Would you personally buy one if it were priced at $50 or $60? </span></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the price point is attractive. I expected it to sell for even more. However, due to a lack of display space and/or appropriate flat storage space for the piece, in the end, I personally wouldn&#039;t buy the large card.</p><p><span style="color: #0000ff"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">• And as for the pulled proofs at the show (I&#039;ve never been to FUN) is $75 an appropriate price point for the large card, and are 50 proofs likely to sell out? </span></p><p><br /></p><p>With such a small edition available, I think a figure of $125 to $150 would also sell out.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Some additional thoughts... </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever concerns are being expressed internally, I should hope they would take advantage of the online platform and sell any remaining (&quot;limited&quot;) stock to collectors via <i><a href="http://moneyfactory.gov/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://moneyfactory.gov/" rel="nofollow">moneyfactory.gov</a></i>.&nbsp; If they haven&#039;t discussed this or made the possibility available for liquidating show merchandise in the case of limited edition pieces, then they should seriously look into this. </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Moneyfactory.gov</i> could also be advertised at FUN and used to direct collectors interested in purchasing a large card online. It would offer customers the option to have it shipped direct to home/office/other. This would be optimal for show attendees who are flying in/out of the venue, who don&#039;t want to roll it, handle and deal with shipping the piece on their own. </p><p><br /></p><p>There ought to be adequate time to set up a page for this product online before the show and to encourage sales <i>at the show</i>, set up an iPad for customers to register online (if they are not already customers of <i>moneyfactory.gov), </i>and place an order <i>at the show</i>. That may even drive sales of other merchandise sold online, educate anyone who isn&#039;t familiar with navigating the site and what it has to offer, and reduce the amount of pre-printed inventory the BEP has to physically haul down to the show, display and potentially return with after the show. </p><p><br /></p><p>The online site would also allow any interested customers who cannot attend the show, access to prints– perhaps even opening online sales to the public <u>during</u> the show dates or immediately following the conclusion of the show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
