I’m replying to this great thread for 2 reasons:   I agree that finding ways to buy low and sell high is something we all respect. I wanted to get my pitch in for buying end material at lowball prices...anyone have a Wings OS for below $65,000?  :)   DBT   From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rubenstein, Ira Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 1:58 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] wanted: FORBIDDEN PLANET us 1sh   Claude,   How is posting on MOPO offers to buy specific posters at below market prices any different than buying an ad in MCW?   There is one poster dealer who has a full page ad for specific posters willing to pay cash for them at specific prices.    All below market.   He has that ad in every issue and it has been in there for at least a year.    It must work since he buys the ad every month.       Now I am a private collector and there may be a day when one of these posts come along and I have the poster and I want to raise some cash.   It would be easier for me to sell to someone like Dave or Freeman or one of the other great dealers on MOPO,  than it would be for me to post it myself on EBAY or put it in an auction and all those fees.      I guess it is a matter of perception.      Ira   PS  Anyone have a PHILADELPHIA STORY 1 sheet for below $2000 for me?  :) -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Claude Litton Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 7:38 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] wanted: FORBIDDEN PLANET us 1sh I think you misinterpreted what I was getting at.  JR is correct.  Neither JR nor I want to deny anyone the right to make money and frankly I admire people who can make money.  When I asked the question I was alluding to the following:  Here Dave was telling MoPo members to please note that the poster he placed on ebay was sold even though the auction had ended.  Considering that most mopo people are astute poster watchers and especially high end material,  everyone must have known he bought the poster not long ago for $7500 on ebay.  He made a nice profit and now is telling mopo people that he wants more of the same.  There is nothing wrong with what he is doing at all.  What I was getting at was --this is supposed to be an astute poster group.  Therefore why is he asking the group to sell him posters at a low price so he can sell them at a high price?  Doesn't he give the group more credit than that?  That was all.  While we are at it, maybe it was a good idea after all and I should take a cue from him.  Anyone have a 1947 one sheet of Dracula under $10,000 for me?   Claude 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.
