I've been interested in several items on his site before, but have only bought once from him and it was a $40 autograph that was the best example of a $25 dollar name I could find. There are several autographs I am interested in he has, but I usually just end up being patient, doing a lot of research on the signature, and finding it elsewhere.

i've checked out keating's site, some good stuff and i've never complained...he can ask whatever he wants. i figured for the price tho i can buy 3 same pieces from jsa or psa/dna and at least one of them is authentic #lawofaverage.
wayne--thx for the link to ur images. i enjoyed looking through them, the old and new sigs. Last edited by chaddurbin; 02-13-2012 at 11:53 AM. |

"If you're interested in an item but can find it cheaper elsewhere, as in the example above, what do you care about his price?" I care about his price because there are several items I would want right now because of the quality of the item and the availability (can't find anywhere else at the time), but often times his price doesn't even leave me "on the fence". And I am not talking about just a $25 dollar autograph. My best example was a Pat Collins last year.. He had one listed, and I believe still does, at $1500. I really wanted it, but remained patient and ended up getting one six months later just as nice, if not nicer imo, for right under $1000. Had he had it a little more reasonably priced at lets say $1200, it might have been mine right now. Believe me, I'm not trying to knock Kevin or his pricing, I think he is great and I think his assistant Nitsa is great, but maybe financially, I am not in his target market. And that's fine, I'll still look at his site to fill holes and if I can bring him business, I will. |

I also remember a regular customer of his telling me that he'll negotiate a lot more at shows than he will over the web. |

That is very good information for all to know. Kevin's been attending National shows for the past few years, so that might provide an opportunity to snag an item that's been sitting in his inventory for a while. If he's at the National show on a Sunday, that might be a good time to haggle. Then again, if his show sales have been very good, perhaps not. Hmmmm . . . what to do?

I've never seen him not be willing to come off his sticker price, and I'm guessing it's the same, although perhaps not as easy as when you're face-to-face, with his internet sales. There's some slack built into everyone's prices, just part of the game. We'll be in Baltimore, so come by and try it.
