We are posting this to MoPo because there are an AMAZING group of 200 really
great stills on our current Thursday auctions (CLOSING TODAY ON JULY 5th), and
we KNOW that MoPo has many dealers and collectors who appreciate great stills!
Right now, with hours left to go, many of these stills are at deservedly high
prices, but there are many others that are still at bargain prices (and I have
no clue where you will ever hope to find these again, for these were gathered
over decades by a super-advanced collector, who spent his time scouring tens of
thousands of stills, looking for the very best!
What is in our Thursday night auctions that close THURSDAY July 5th on eBay?
200 GREAT vintage 8" x 10" stills (including 27 candids featuring great
behind-the-scenes images at the start of our list)!
What are some of the best stills in this current Thursday auction? The
auction solely contains vintage 8" x 10" black and white stills!
Note that, having sold a HUGE number of vintage stills, I KNOW for certain
that candid stills are FAR more rare than stills with scenes from the movies!
Plus, candid stills often reveal information about the stars (or relaxed or
unflattering images of them) that is practically lost to history, for I know of
nowhere that these images can be found OTHER than through actually purchasing
the vintage candid stills themselves!
Some of the best candid stills include Citizen Kane (a great image of Orson
Welles directing on the set!), Cool Hand Luke (Paul Newman with the author of
the book), Our Gang (one with the "Our Gang baseball team" and the other with
Stymie with vintage Our Gang toys), Personal Property (Harlow and Taylor
holding hands on the set), Tarzan Escapes (Weissmuller and O'Sullivan stealing
food), and many, MANY more!
Some of the best non-candid stills include Crime School, China Seas (plus 8
other Jean Harlows!), Crowd Roars (1932 Cagney), Casablanca (two originals and
one early re-release), Asphalt Jungle (plus 8 other excellent Marilyns!), and
many, MANY more!
I could go on listing dozens more titles, but you really need to check
these out for yourself! Be sure to look at these 200 GREAT vintage 8" x 10"
stills ending TONIGHT, THURSDAY July 5th beginning around 7 PM CST in our
<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>Thursday Auction
Image Gallery) at http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php!
Note that many of these stills come to us from a very longtime collector! He
purchased them from poster exchanges and from collectible stores many years ago.
WE GUARANTEE THAT EVERY STILL IN THIS AUCTION IS ORIGINAL (just like the
ones we sold in the last four weeks' auctions)! Why? Because these stills from
this remarkable collection, which were purchased by a VERY knowledgeable
collector, who could tell original stills from repros, reissues, or restrikes
and it only contains original stills, and YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE OUR WORD FOR
IT! We know you will agree these are surely original stills, but if you have
the slightest doubt, you can return ANY still lot within one week for a no
questions asked refund! I have sold many tens of thousands of stills, and I
KNOW these to be genuine, and I also know this to be a remarkable collection of
hand-picked stills!
MANY EBAY SELLERS ASK $9.99 OR MORE EACH FOR REPRODUCTIONS OF STILLS THE SAME
OR SIMILAR TO THESE, AND MOST EBAY SELLERS START SIMILAR ORIGINAL VINTAGE
STILLS AT $14.99 EACH but you can buy a lot of stills from us this week for as
low as 99 cents PER STILL (which means you could pay less than a dollar per
still, if you are the only bidder on that still, but of course, there may well
be other bidders; BUT IN OUR AUCTIONS, THE FINAL PRICES ARE SET BY TWO REAL
BIDDERS, NOT BY YOU BIDDING AGAINST AN ARTIFICIAL RESERVE OR "STARTING PRICE",
which may well be "too high"). And these are vintage stills, which have
collectible value, as opposed to reproduction stills, which have NO collectible
value. But realize that these are actual vintage stills used in theaters (or
intended for theaters, but not used) and therefore many have defects caused by
use and we could have missed some. If you are very condition conscious (or
would be bothered by an item having an undescribed minor defect),!
then you probably shouldn't bid on the stills we are selling this week which
are not in at least "very good" condition. NOTE THAT WE GRADED THESE STILLS
EXTREMELY HARSHLY, downgrading them to a lesser condition for slight defects,
so that every purchaser should be happy when they open their package! See our
condition grading chart below for further information.
REMEMBER THAT (unlike some other sellers of movie posters) WE ARE NOT TALKING
ABOUT 99 CENTS, PLUS $9 BUYERS PREMIUM, PLUS AN OFTEN "MIS-CALCULATED" SHIPPING
THAT MEANS THOSE "99 CENT ITEMS" MAY END UP COSTING YOU $17 EACH! In OUR
auctions, you can purchase up to FIFTEEN 99 cent stills and your total cost is
$14.85, plus a very reasonable $5 U.S. shipping charge for a total U.S. cost
for those 15 items of just over $20 for ALL fifteen stills.
GIVEN THAT THESE AUCTIONS END JULY 5TH (right after the American 4th of July
holiday) ISN'T THIS THE PERFECT TIME FOR YOU TO DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE FROM
THOSE WHO CHARGE OUTRAGEOUS BUYERS PREMIUMS, PADDED SHIPPING CHARGES, AND HAVE
FUZZY CONDITION DESCRIPTIONS (and often fuzzy images that hide defects)!?!?!
Remember that YOU can't get any of the great deals that are almost certain to
be found in this auction 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
you place a bunch of bids and get nothing at all, you will only be out a little
of your time, and no more.
Do you know about our Tuesday and Thursday Auction Galleries? One of the worst
kept "secrets" in the movie poster hobby is that it is FAR easier to look at
our items through our
<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction
Gallery and our
<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>Thursday Auction
Gallery. When you look at our items on eBay, you do not see an image of the
item until you open the auction, which is very time consuming (we don't use
their "gallery" image, both because it is absurdly overpriced and because the
gallery image is too tiny to see any details). So instead, we have our own
<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction
Gallery and our
<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>Thursday Auction
Gallery, both of which have much larger images of each item, so that you can
determine if an item interests you BEFORE you click on it, thus making your
surfing time far more !
productive. PLUS these galleries are searchable by star, director, genre,
year, or anything you want to search for! Once you discover our galleries we
would be amazed if you go back to looking at our items directly on eBay.
The prices in our galleries update every 5 minutes, so the price under
each item can only be up to 5 minutes old. Generally, this is no big deal,
EXCEPT if you are looking at items as they are closing, then we recommend you
bid on the actual eBay page (which is easily accessed from our gallery pages).
But because so many of our bidders now use our gallery, on rare occasions
it has overwhelmed our server, and some of our bidders have not been able to
access it, especially right when the auctions are closing. Worse yet, an
outage in our server means that you can't see the images on our eBay auctions,
because our large and super-sized images are housed on the same server as our
<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction
Gallery. SO WE HAVE ALSO CREATED <http://www.emovieposter.info>BACKUP "MIRROR"
VERSIONS OF OUR CURRENT AUCTION IMAGE GALLERIES. They are located at
<http://www.emovieposter.info>http://www.emovieposter.info and are available if
our main gallery is down, so the only time you want to use it is whenever you
CAN'T access our regular
<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction
Gallery and our
<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>Thursday Auction
Gallery, OR when you can't view !
some or all of the images on our auctions (even if you can't see them on eBay,
you will be able to see them in our backup galleries). You will likely either
never need it, or only use it once, but if you are a regular bidder in our
auctions, it will be invaluable to you the day you DO need it, for you will be
able to see all of our large images, and use this "mirror" version of our
Current Auction Image Gallery, even though the main version is unavailable.
PLEASE ADD <http://www.emovieposter.info>http://www.emovieposter.info TO YOUR
FAVORITES/BOOKMARKS.
Part II of our Summer Mini/Major auction is running on eBay right now! IT
CONTAINS 385 CHOICE LINENBACKED POSTERS (no U.S. one-sheets) and 8 REALLY
SPECIAL UNBACKED ITEMS!
Good luck on whatever you may bid on!
