I'll never understand the bukowski manuscript market. At least on ebay. This manuscript sold for $455, while this one went unsold at $550.
The manuscript that sold is a 1986 xerox, and the unsold manuscript is an old carbon from 1971. You rarely see anything that early on ebay anymore (it has been relisted here for $450).
I found the same kind of unpredictability when I was selling manuscripts...the thing that you think is an absolute gem gets no interest, and something you threw up there hoping to get a minimal amount for will be bid up way beyond (what you thought was) its value.
Ah well. Ten years ago these things were $30 - $60, but ebay changed all that.
