[MOPO] [Fwd: [MOPO] Incomplete Listings -- My Pet Peeve]

[james dietz]

Hello- I've been asked to identify in the title line all my listings in Ebay as to the format- i.e. poster or lobby etc.  to make searching easier for bidders.  But isn't that the point of the Ebay categories? I list lobbies in a lobby category and posters in a poster category, etc, and the category is mentioned at the top of each listing. I think the bidder should limit his search to the category that is of interest. In other words, if a bidder is not interested in lobbies, do not search in the lobby category. I use every space in the title line to describe my item; I use "11x14" in the lobby category only when I have extra space in the line. jim dietz -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [MOPO] Incomplete Listings -- My Pet Peeve Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 00:32:11 -0500 From: "JRS MoviePosterBid.com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jim,   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!   -- JR   ----- Original Message ----- From: james dietz To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 21:52 Subject: [MOPO] WHAT I'D BUY WITH $10,000. FOR INVESTMENT-DIETZ I'd buy only American film noir lobbies and posters...maybe some French film noir posters also. This material is still relatively cheap on Ebay, but there doesn't seem to be that much on the market now. I think this material will explode in value very soon. jim dietz ps- by the way, i have some nice film noir from the 40's on ebay right now. -- MY CURRENT EBAY AUCTIONS: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&include=O&userid=soldiers          Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com    ___________________________________________________________________               How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List        Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]             In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L     The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
