Subject: [MOPO] Time to bury the hatchet?
There are some dealers in this hobby who have in the past used some
questionable methods in buying and selling movie posters (buying for
pennies on the dollar by misrepresenting the value of items, selling for
far over "market value" by misrepresenting the value of items, severely
over-grading items, misrepresenting the rarity of items, selling heavily
restored items as having little restoration, etc). Many years ago I quit
dealing with those people who I believed used such tactics.
But now in the days of the Internet and tremendous communication between
collectors through discussion boards and other means, it seems it is VERY
hard for ANY dealer to successfully play the games described above, and it
seems that just about every one of those dealers has either "cleaned up
their act" or moved on to something else. I note that two of the absolute
worst offenders, major dealers who have been around "forever" and who were
notorious for cheating people, have both been on eBay for several years
now and have each maintained 100% positive feedback!
So I make the following offer to anyone who I have chosen not to deal with
in the past. I am willing to completely "bury the hatchet" and resume
dealing with you (either as buyer or seller), and we will start over and
the past will be forgotten. All I ask is that you deal with me honestly in
the future, and don't slander me on public forums!
Of course, I have no doubt there will be some who want to keep things
exactly as they are, and that is fine with me. But if you are someone who
has thought that it would be nice to find a way to end the current
situation, here is your chance! Just e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED],
and I will unblock you and we can resume doing business.
Why am I making this offer? Because a couple of people who were in this
situation e-mailed ME in the past few months with a cordial "Can we go
back to how things were?", and in both cases I agreed, and there have been
so problems, so I thought, why not openly make this offer to everyone
else?
Of course, there need be no public discussion of this. I just thought
posting this on MoPo would be the quickest way to "get the message out".
Maybe we CAN be like Rodney King suggested, and all just "get along"!
