Re: [MOPO] POSTER PRICES

[JR]

Zeev,   From what I can tell, Bruce's price guide stays very much up to date... I can often find the sales data from one of his auctions in the database a week or two after it has ended. Of course, Bruce's price database only reflects results of his own auctions, no one else's. The URL is:   http://www.emovieposter.com/sales/priceguide.php   I agree with you about PosterPrice.com. It is a once-great resource that has been neglected so long now that it is only useful for a trip down memory lane... investors and speculators can look at the high prices from the late 1990's and salivate and real collectors can go back further to the 1980s and wax nostalgic about how low prices were back then. But it's useless for getting any idea of what a poster is worth in today's market. I can't believe they charge (and that people pay for) this horribly outdated information any longer.   Warren has made an effort lately to update his on-line price guide, but last time I checked you did have to pay for it and it was still pretty spotty. The other problem with it is that many of the prices Warren lists are not based on current auction or private sales results, but are simply his own opinion as to what a poster is worth. Interesting to get his viewpoint, perhaps, but highly subjective and not much help in gauging the current market.   If you're a registered member of Heritage, their sales results database is very much up to date, but like Bruce, it only lists results from their own auctions.   That's it, as far as I know.   -- JR     ----- Original Message ----- From: lobby card invasion To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 11:16 Subject: [MOPO] (MOPO) POSTER PRICES Hello  everybody,   Sometime I like to refer to a price guide to determine the value of a poster.  Poster Price.com, which is the internet version of the old Almanac, was a place I used frequently, but I find that the new owners who purchased it off John Kisch, did not bother updating it much in the last 3-4 years, in spite of the fact that you now have to pay an annual fee in order to use it.   I know that Bruce Hershenson feels that his Sales Results Database is much more relevant, but that too is not up to date.  Does anybody know how up to date it is ?  Or are there TWO places on Bruce's extensive website where one can look for this info?   I'm not familiar with John Warrens price guide.  Is it free? extensive? up to date?   I'll be very happy to receive your feedback.   Thanks, Zeev     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.
