Actually, I don't have any two million dollar lobby cards, nor do I have a
million dollar one. I currently have nothing to sell which appeals to those
who collect such items. But I DO want to let all MoPo members know of the
really excellent group of 1,421 individual lobby cards (including LOTS of
great ones!) which I added to eBay on Tuesday April 4th starting at around
7 PM CST, as 7 day auctions, ending Tuesday night, April 11th.
What is in these current auctions? A LOT of great single lobby
cards (ones that usually sell for hundreds of dollars each, if you could
find them anywhere else), and a far greater amount of desirable lobby cards
(ones that usually sell for $20 to $100 each).
THESE CARDS COVER EVERY YEAR AND GENRE! You'll find the Wizard of
Oz balloon scene, a collection of 5 Charlie Chan title cards and 16
excellent scene cards, complete lobby card sets from Goldfinger and To Kill
a Mockingbird, 312 other title lobby cards, and 1,075 other scene lobby
cards. Here are just a few of the better cards in these auctions: Suzy
(with both Grant and Harlow), Loving You (signed by Elvis!), Sunset Blvd,
Dial M For Murder, Wings Title Card, Great Dictator (with Chaplin and
Oakie), Plan 9 From Outer Dpace, Mildred Pierce Title Card, and on and on
and on!
But since every single one of these items started at just 99 cents
with no reserve there will be surely many real bargains, and quite likely
some outright "steals"! As of this writing (Friday afternoon), over 750 of
these 1,421 items are still at their starting price of 99 cents(!), around
950 are still under $2, around 1,100 are under $5, and around 1,200 are
under $10! And most of the 225 or so items that are over $10 are FAR under
their "regular" retail price (the ones you could find anywhere else). And
there are a HUGE percentage of items that "retail" for $25 or $50 or more
which are still at just a buck or two each!
Obviously, many of these items will get one or more additional
bids, but given the EXTREMELY large number of such items I am selling, it
is a virtually certainty that a fair number will "fall between the cracks"
and go for low prices (and some for "joke" prices!). But YOU can't get
those great deals if you aren't bidding! AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE! If
you place a bunch of fairly low bids but only get one or two items, then
you are sure to be happy, for you will have gotten some really good
deals. Even if get nothing, you will only be out a little of your time,
and no more (since this is one significant auction of movie paper you don't
need to travel to, or even leave your computer for!).
To make these auctions an even better deal, we give a bonus copy
of one of our VERY BEST $20 full-color books, NOT NOMINATED MOVIE POSTERS,
with EVERY purchase, EVEN IF YOU SOLELY BUY ONE 99 CENT ITEM! If you don't
already own this great book (you will love looking at it, for you will be
floored by all the incredible movies that were NOT nominated for the Best
Picture Academy Award), then you should find any one 99 cent item to buy,
and you will get both that lobby card (which you chose to bid on) and the
book for just 99 cents for both!
REMEMBER THAT IN THESE AUCTIONS (as in all my online auctions), THERE ARE
NO OUTRAGEOUS BUYER PREMIUMS! Other auctions charge around 20% EXTRA, for
no other reason than to line their pockets with your money, and some even
have a $9 minimum buyer premium, so that a $1 purchase carries a NINE
HUNDRED PER CENT buyer premium!. In these auctions, what you bid is what
you pay, plus a very reasonable sliding U.S. shipping chart that is based
on the value of your items (almost always less than out cost to send the
items to you. If you have ever bought from any other "major" auction
company, you are probably still stunned by their buyer premiums and by how
much "handling" fees they packed onto their shipping charges, but we never
do that!
I know it can be difficult to look over this many items in just a couple of
days, but remember you can use our exclusive Current Auction Image
Gallery (which is located at
http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php ) which has large
thumbnails of all our eBay items, and links from each item to the actual
eBay auction. Best of all, this gallery is searchable! You will really
find this a great benefit if you want to look at all of our items this
week! You can simply browse all of our current items by viewing the images
in this gallery (40 to a page, but you can set it to display 20 items to a
page or up to 100 items a page, depending on the speed of your Internet
connection) in our number order, or you can use our search to only see
thumbnails of your specific search terms! NOTE THAT EACH ITEM IN THIS
GALLERY HAS A RECENT BID PRICE LISTED, AND THE PRICES ARE UPDATED AT LEAST
ONCE A DAY! THIS GALLERY CAN BE SORTED BY PRICE (high to low or low to
high), WHICH IS A GREAT HELP TO THOSE OF YOU WANTING TO JUST FOCUS ON THE
BEST (or least expensive) ITEMS! I urge all of you to go to our gallery
this week and at least glance over all the large thumbnails, EVEN IF YOU
THINK YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN BIDDING ON THESE ITEMS! Why do I say
this? Because it is fun to "window shop" when you are looking at this
well-organized gallery, especially given all the many wonderful items we
are selling this week (it is likely many of them will have images you have
never seen before)!
WE BASE OUR U.S. SHIPPING CHARGES FOR THIS WEEK'S ITEMS solely on how much
you spend, and NOT AT ALL on how many posters you buy! Whether you buy one
item or ONE HUNDRED items you pay a SINGLE shipping charge based on the
chart below (this is one of the ways we thank those who purchase a lot of
items from us in a single week)! If you live in the U.S., you need to
enclose the total amount you spent this week, plus shipping as noted below
(please be aware that due to the latest rise in postal & UPS rates, we too
must adjust our shipping costs (we have held our old shipping charges
constant for 5 years in the face of many postal and UPS increases, but we
can no longer completely absorb them). BUT NOTE THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY
SUBSTANTIALLY LOWERED OUR RATES FOR ALL ORDERS UNDER $50!):.
All U.S. orders totaling less than $20 will need to pay just $5.50 for shipping
All U.S. orders totaling $20 to $49.99 will need to pay just $7 for shipping
All U.S. orders totaling $50 to $399.99 will need to pay just $8.50 for
shipping
All U.S. orders totaling $400 and over will need to pay just $10 for shipping
So once you buy any one lobby card, every additional lobby card you buy (or
bid on) will cost little or no added shipping, if you live in the U.S.,
since they only cost you a little more if the added price pushes you to the
next shipping bracket (and if you live outside the U.S., then the shipping
won't go up by all that much if you buy several additional lobby cards,
since most of the weight of the package is in the basic packaging, and
extra posters add little extra weight. So if you think you will surely buy
at least one of these lobby cards, then you are really being silly if you
don't place a bunch of very low bids on other lobby cards, for if you get
any of them you won't pay ANY extra shipping (in the U.S.) or a small
amount of extra shipping (outside the U.S.). You may get to buy a bunch of
lobby cards OF YOUR CHOICE for a buck or two each with little or no
shipping cost, and how often does that happen to you these days?
Be sure to check out these 1,421 single lobby cards (including great ones)
sometime before they end Tuesday night, April 11th, starting at around 7
PM CST (either by going to
http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php or by using the
link from my HOME page, http://www.emovieposter.com or by looking me up
under my eBay user ID, emovieposter.com). Good luck on whatever you may
bid on!
