Some of them *are* Mail Boxes Etc. or FedEx/Kinkos. The latter is either doing it themselves or has a contract with a company to do it. I've heard the radio spots, saying to just take your stuff to any FedEx/Kinkos. I suspect others are operating out of existing business locations, so they see it as extra income.

I went to dinner the other evening and while driving home down Ventura Blvd. in my neck of the woods, I saw 4 of those stores along about a three mile trek, one of which was right next door to the restaurant I was eating at. The windows were covered with huge signs offering to "sell on ebay". I wondered to myself how lucrative such a business could be. I mean the rent along Ventura Blvd. is about $3-$4 a square foot and while most of them were small shops, about the size of a Mail Boxes Etc., it's still overhead. I will be curious to see how long they last. > >Sue Heim > ----- Original Message ----- > From: J R > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 12:40 PM > Subject: Re: [MOPO] $481 for a reproduction of a 2001 post card? > > >I think I can answer that: This auction was run by "Door-to-Door" auctions -- one of those new services where people just hand over their stuff to them and they auction it for them. A lot of people have questioned if these services can provide the kind of expertise needed to properly auction collectibles. In this case, technically, they did put it in the right category. Technically, it *is* a reproduction in some ways I suppose. But most collectors would consider it an "original" -- assuming it is the original as issued for the promotion of a release of the film. Anyone ever hear of any later-date reproductions of these large-size 3D holographic posters? Seems it would be a pretty expensive endeavor. > > -- JR > >----- Original Message ----- > From: Roland Lataille > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 12:22 > Subject: Re: [MOPO] $481 for a reproduction of a 2001 post card? > > All the 3-D almost one sheet size posters I have seen for 2001 have the CINERAMA logo on them - http://cinerama.topcities.com/20013d.htm. I guess maybe when the movie played at non CINERAMA theatres they could of had the same 3-D poster without the CINERAMA logo? I wonder why the seller put it under the Posters > Reproductions > 2000-Now EBAY category if it was a 1968 original release? Does anyone have the pressbooks for 2001 for the Cinerama release and non Cinerama release? That would show all the posters available to the movie theatre. > > Roland Lataille > Cinerama web site: > http://cinerama.topcities.com > > > >Helmut Hamm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > BLOCKQUOTE { PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } DL { PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } UL { PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } OL { PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } LI { PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } >Looks original to me.
