This is all good advice, and ignore them if you will, but you may miss out on that fabulous poster listed by some random guy or gal who usually sells junk picked up at garage sales to make a living! (We actually met a guy who makes $3,000/mo. selling what he picks up at garage sales and on trash day at upper crust Shaker Heights in Ohio! For real!). Somewhere out there he will come across a poster from an old Granny's mansion attic and he wont know diddly about one sheet or anything else. But he will list it in whatever humble way he can and it will be a real find. Just maybe........

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!

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 t! o 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! whatVisit 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. 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!
