Re: [MOPO] MOPO?Did eBay kill the movie poster shows?

[JR]

Jack,   I'm sure you're right to some extent -- the internet has done that to all hobbies and even throughout retailing and industry -- but I also think some falloff in attendance would have happened even without eBay, because the price of travel, lodging and eating out has gone up so much in the last 10 years that many people would have cut back on taking as many trips to shows anyway. I was never much of a show-goer myself, so I don't miss it. Even so, the really big shows/live auctions still seem to be bringing people in.   -- JR   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Gold To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 14:08 Subject: [MOPO] MOPO?Did eBay kill the movie poster shows? I always looked forward to going and seeing and enjoying the company of my fellow movie poster collectors. Selling and buying, eating, having a beer etc at the Ray Courts shows. Does anyone think that attendance has dropped at these shows since eBay? I know that I do since it has become near impossible to sell posters at the prices we used to get. those unique pieces of time machine paper from the 40's, 50's etc. It kinda sucks that we're now writing to each other about our auctions etc. comments?   And thanks for the last round of buying from movpost... I am starting a relist of unsold 50's posters reduced to 12.95 (60's as well) first poster on is Jack London's "Wolf Larson" a fine piece of period art especially for the London fan as a gift or what have you   Greetings   Jack Gold/ movpost                     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.
