You just have to learn to read between the lines! If the listing doesn't say "one-sheet" then there is no chance that it is one, for everyone is proud to have a one-sheet. If it doesn't say anything about what it is, then it is almost surely a scene lobby card, or a herald, or a still. If it says "rare style" it is probably an Australian daybill. If it says "original" without a year then it is probably an "original" reissue. If it says "rare" it is virtually a certainty it ISN"T.
Eventually you get where you can recognize some dealers just by the way they list, and you can then just ignore them without even clicking on a single auction!

Hey, I got a bone to pick with you -- and all the other sellers who neglect to put LC on a lobby card listing on eBay or MoPoBid (or to put OS or INS or HS for that matter). I'm not just addressing you here -- but I went to look at your noir listings and that set me off on this rant -- I'm talking to quite a few other sellers as well (you KNOW who you are) and this is what I want to say:
Look, we're all busy people, right? You want us to look at your listing pages on a regular basis? You want us to pay attention to the FA posts you send to MoPo? Then how about helping us out and IDENTIFYING your stuff properly in the Title of the listing, huh? I don't have time to be looking at something I'm not going to buy, and I don't think very many other people do these days -- not with the huge amount of material to go through every week. You have to trust your customers to know if they want an LC an OS a HS or an INS or whatever. Don't try to "trick" them into looking at something by not properly identifying it. That may work once or twice until I notice what you're doing -- but what happens when I run across 4 or 5 pages of listings and I see that most of them are not correctly identified as to what type of poster they are in the title? Aw... you guessed!
