I want to let all MoPo members know of the 720 non-U.S. posters and lobby
cards (from 25 different countries!) which I added to eBay on Tuesday April
18th starting at around 7 PM CST, as 7 day auctions, ending Tuesday night,
April 25th.
A LOT of posters and lobby cards you are almost certain to have never seen
before! If you are tired of seeing the same one-sheets, lobby cards and
other standard sizes over and over again, and are looking for some
"different" posters and lobby cards to add to your collection, then these
auctions are for you!
Here is a chart of the items (divided by country, with our item
numbers), to help you find items of interest:
a001-a006 misc. English sizes
a007-a081 English one-sheets
a082-a122 Australian (various sizes)
a123-a125 Spanish/U.S. one-sheets
a126-a132 Belgian, Czechoslovakian, Danish
a133-a146 French, Indonesian, Japan
a147-a150 Russian, South African ,Swedish
a151-a152 Venezuelan, Yugoslavian
a153-a178 Argentinean, Hong Kong
a179-a200 Italian (different sizes)
a201-a230 Spanish (3 different sizes)
a231-a292 Turkish, Indian
a293-a328 Mexican (3 sizes)
a329-a399 Thai, Pakistani
a400-a419 non-U.S. posters
a420-a458 non-U.S. lobby cards & stills
a459-a480 East German, misc. German sizes
a481-a721 German 23x32s
Note that the English posters at the start of the auction contain
a LOT of rarely seen "country of origin" posters (first release English
posters for English movies), and there are also a lot of other "country of
origin" posters among those posters from the other 24 countries (and we
always identify all "country of origin" posters). Two of the most
interesting "country of origin" posters are an original English one-sheet
from The Wicker Man (a cult classic, and one of my very favorite movies),
and an original Mexican poster from Robinson Crusoe, made by the great
director Luis Bunuel while he lived in that country. Looking through all
the 720 posters you will find that most of them have images completely
different from (and often superior to) the image on the U.S. poster!
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 (Monday afternoon), over 200 of
these 720 items are still at their starting price of 99 cents(!), around
380 are still under $4, around 550 are under $10, and around 650 are under
$20! And just about every one of these 720 items are FAR under their
"regular" retail price (the ones you could find anywhere else). 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 large number of 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 an auction of movie paper which 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 BEST $20 full-color auction catalogs, VINTAGE HOLLYWOOD
POSTERS V, with EVERY purchase, EVEN IF YOU SOLELY BUY ONE 99 CENT ITEM! If
you don't already own this great book, 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 item, every additional item 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 items, then you are really being silly if you don't
place a bunch of very low bids on other items, 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 items 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 720 non-U.S. posters and lobby cards sometime
before they end Tuesday night, April 25th, 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!
