Good Evening Everyone, It's officially Friday the 13th here in the South, and our big auction for TheCinemaTrade exclusively on Movie Poster Bid is set to begin this evening. I've had some inquiries this week about it, with some confusion as to where it's going to be held, when to end, etc. This kickoff announcement/reminder will hopefully answer many questions. I promise not to bombard you with blurbs over the next three weeks, but please do get in touch if you have any questions.
We have over 300 lots in the auction. The bunch is divided roughly in thirds, with the first 100+ to begin Friday, August 13th through Sunday, August 15th and end next Friday through Sunday when the second phase begins. Almost 40 lots will begin each evening, from the 7:00 hour and ending near 10:00 P.M.; all are 7 day auctions. So the breakdown is: 3 sections, with 9 groups, starting and ending on the Friday to Sunday of the next three weekends on MPB. (e.g. Friday the 13th's end on Friday the 20th, etc.) The last round of the last phase is set to close on Sunday, September 5th. The lots contain many favorite titles, some obscure and rarely seen ones, and some very striking pieces. The bulk are from the 1950s through 70s, but there are some very nice 40s pieces, as well as some desirable more recent items from the 80s to current. A list of titles, with thumbnail and info links can be found here: http://www.thecinematrade.com/AuctionIntro.htm Anyone wishing to bid on lots from the three phases is welcome to make arrangements to pay at once when all the bidding activity is over after phase three ends. Just email me and let me know you wish to do this. All items are satisfaction guaranteed or money back. We've done our best to describe condition, flaws, etc, but if you need further info, don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm proud to host this on Movie Poster Bid, a great new alternative to other sites designed just for our hobby. Some have asked: why not eBay? Well, the answer is that I believe in this site enough to make this debut here and I think that some collectible pieces in a nice group might serve to bring even more people to this great site who will find it habit forming. Conversation continues to this day about viable alternatives to eBay for the movie poster world; here is one in living, working order. If you see lots among our offerings that catch your interest and would like to bid, take a minute to visit MPB and register if you haven't already. It's very quick and painless. The link is www.movieposterbid.com and you'll be done in no time. Thanks again to everyone who has helped and inspired this auction event. I look forward to dealing with many old and new friends in the next few weeks.
