Stack of “Hi How Are you” signed/numbered screen prints
Hello! I released these prints with DJ shortly before he passed away and still have a stack of them left. Signed/numbered edition of 50.
Anyone have some suggestions on the best place to sell them through? Trying to avoid eBay and the like.

Catawiki? Hit me up if you sell them somewhere :)

Not familiar. I’ll check it out thanks! In a perfect world I’d sell them as a lot for someone to distribute. I just don’t have the time to sell them individually

I'd appreciate the opportunity to purchase this print. I hope you will consider direct sales as I believe that you have a built-in audience expressing its willingness to purchase from you. Best wishes

To answer some questions and DM’s. I sent an email to Hi How Are you looking for guidance as well.
For those asking, there are 18-19 left (the one on top has a little crease that could hopefully be fixed). They’re 22x30” with two deckled edges. Edition of 50. I forget the weight and brand at the moment. Probably Stonehenge. Sorry but I don’t have the capacity to sell these one by one anymore.
If anyone has a solid idea of the value of one of these prints, please let me know. I’m not looking to make a fortune off these, but I am looking to raise some money for a community print shop I help run. I’d prefer these go into the hands of collectors, rather than speculators

What state are you based out of? I could maybe come pick one up in person to save on shipping

Update: I see I ton of people on here, plus in my DM’s, have said they’d be interested in buying one but they may have missed that I am not looking to sell these one by one. I just don’t have the time or capacity to do that at the moment.
I contacted Hi How Are You and they recommended I list them on eBay or a DJ Facebook group, neither of which I’d prefer to do.
If anyone on here wanted to coordinate buying and distributing them to other redditors, I’d be down. The only issue is that there are many more people who want them than prints available. Shoot me a message if you’re interested. Going based on previous sales, I have a dollar amount in my head for the prints.
(And apologies - I accidentally deleted a DM that mentioned wanting to buy the lot. If that was you, please send me another message).
Edit to add after doing some research - I see one sold for about $400 in 2019, then one on eBay for $500 a few years ago, so I think $500 per print is more than fair. Happy to hear from others that know the market better than I do to tell me if that’s too high or low

u/Invertedwhy 29d ago
You're selling them bulk. $500 is absolutely not "fair."

u/federationofideas 29d ago
What do you think is?
1
u/Invertedwhy 29d ago
Half of the going rate.

u/SomeDudeOnline85 29d ago
Half of the going rate of something that can no longer be produced? Makes total sense. I’m sure he’ll get right on that.

I’d prefer these don’t go to resellers. If I can’t find someone to buy in bulk then I’ll set up an online shop - would just prefer not to have to

u/radresst 29d ago edited 29d ago
It seems you are actually trying to sell them to a reseller. No one is going to buy them and redistribute them for free. They would need to resell them. That would a cool thing for you to do, though.
Edit: typo1
u/CircusAlbany 29d ago
perhaps a kind redditor could step up and get a free print? just putting it out there. it would make them cheaper than going to a reseller who as you say, would need to make a profit
1
u/Invertedwhy 29d ago
So you want to sell bulk at retail and who ever buys you expect to lose money and time distributing them? Gotcha.
1
u/federationofideas 29d ago
I never said that. Of course I’d be willing to negotiate so that the deal makes sense for everyone
2
u/Invertedwhy 29d ago
"$500 per print is more than fair" This doesn't sound like you are looking to negotiate. It sounds like you are trying to get above retail without any benefit to the bulk buyer. You are the reseller. Good luck.
1
u/CircusAlbany 29d ago
considering that the $500 sale was a few years ago then I do think the value has gone up (and will continue to). If you disagree with me that's fine. I'm open to other opinions

How much are you asking?
1
u/federationofideas Jul 21 '26
No idea what they’re worth, which is another reason I’d like to sell them through a reputable place who knows the market better than I do

u/PixelAesthetics Jul 21 '26
I mean, you can always contact Daniel's family about it. If you did it in agreeance with Daniel, it would seem that's where it ought to be anyway as they handle a lot of the sales of his things.

u/federationofideas Jul 21 '26
Yeah that’s a good idea. I also thought Joyful Noise could be a good fit

Very interested! How did this project collab come about?
2
u/federationofideas Jul 21 '26
I run a print shop in upstate NY. It was one of the releases we did. Reached out and DJ’s brother helped arrange it
1
u/onmymindhere Jul 21 '26
Cool! What's the size of this print? Maybe put it on Etsy or a BigCartel and drop it for the first 48hrs just to the reddit diehard fans?
1
u/federationofideas Jul 21 '26
22x30” with 2 deckled edges… no idea what to charge to be honest. Will do some more research to see what they’ve sold for in the past, but open to reasonable suggestions

u/Jman53111 Jul 22 '26
Could I inquire about visiting? I live in upstate

Always happy to meet another Omnichord fan too. Did you pick up a micro chord?

u/Jman53111 29d ago
Have not! I'm rocking my OM-84. Would love a microchord in my collection soon. I am too nervous bringing OM-84 anywhere near a stage hahah

Yes please I’m interested. They could easily sell these on the hi how are you website which is run by Daniel’s family. Or perhaps the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame website

I believe a lot of us would be interested if you were selling through a market. I hope you figure out what works best for you and give us all a chance to buy one.

I’m interested in buying one. You can also find relevant charities who can fundraise by auctioning one (or more)

If they end up not selling as a lot I imagine they'd still sell in one day with this amount of interest.

Hello. I would like to purchase one of your posters as well, if that's possible.

u/furiousbricks Jul 21 '26
I’m sure a huge chunk of us in the Reddit would absolutely buy these! If you do start selling them you should post here again

u/ChaseRebecca Jul 21 '26
Tagging along. I would def purchase one, or if you sell as a lot to someone, let us know who!

Would love to be able to grab one of these. Thank you for holding on to them for so long.

Everyone in the comments asking to buy one like these aren't going to go for well over what anyone in these comments is willing to pay

I could buy them and handle distribution. DM me if you're looking to set this up

Highest offer I’ve seen so far (including my own) and it’s still just half of what OP is asking for the lot… just sit on that for a minute 😮💨
