price adjustment justification: when editions are classified as »last copies«, their prices are increasing, when at least 75% of an edition has been sold. how is this price increase measured? when an edition is sold out, its value increases as the existing high demand can obviously no longer be filled with a sufficient supply. for this reason, it is a common and established practice for galleries, to increase the price on the last copies of an edition. collectors who purchase before this price increase are rewarded, whereas late purchasers risk paying somewhat more as a result of the inevitable appreciation of the image. collectors who act immediately do not know if an edition is near to being sold out, which is why they are offered a lower price sometimes even below the valued price of the work. late buyers can be assured that the edition will soon sell out, and therefore pay the valued price of the photograph.  leistls.org assures that the increased price is not above the actual value of the work. if a photograph is listed as sold there are no more copies available through leistls.org.

as a general rule, the value of an image continues to increase once it is sold out. leistls.org has noticed that sold out editions sell for more than the going rate in the secondary art market. there is no rule of thumb to price increase; we recommend to purchase an art work simply because of joy.
