Todd Feiertag has coined the term fleabay and how right he is.
Unless you have the
model like Bruce's where you are going to put items on with .99 cent
starting prices, then
few on ebay are going to play with you. Last week I put a six sheet
for THE MAN THAT SHOT
LIBERTY VALANCE on ebay, with a $299.00 opening bid. Over forty
people were watching,
but there were two bidders - one man who e-mailed me and wanted me to
sell the poster
to him for $200 (I said, No, Thank You) and a dealer, Norm Lazarson,
who has demonstrated
over the years that he understands the movie poster market. Norm
ended up buying the
poster for $325.00 and I am pleased that IF the poster is going to
sell below what I think
is a real market price, that it went to someone like Norm. Norm will
probably end up making
another $500 from it, and he should.
I regret that ebay has seen fit, in their penny wise and pound
foolish manner, to obscure the buyers'
bidding identities. They actually have dampened bidding when they
did this, as I used to bid
more just to get my movieart*austin*tx*usa ebay user id out in front
of people. Now, unless
you are bidding under $200, people can only see who won.
IF I had started the MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE six sheet at 99
cents, perhaps I would have
sold the poster for more, I don't know.
I only now how I am prepared to bid and sell when using fleabay.
