As I grow older, I get more and more forgetful. Usually, it is something relatively unimportant, like where I left my shoes, but this time it was BIG! I forgot that today is the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, and so I accidentally put on my regular Thursday auctions last week, and they end tonight, Thanksgiving night!
And these are no run-of-the-mill auctions. These are 269 really choice 8" x 10" vintage stills, plus 30 signed repro stills (obtained from celebrities in-person, by a man who worked in the film industry, from people like Sean Connery and Arnold Schwarzenegger). Some of the best non-autographed stills offered include: RED RIVER 8x10 '48 John Wayne & Joanne Dru c/u! LOUISE BROOKS 8x10 '20s inspecting deco table! DAY THE WORLD ENDED candid 8x10 '56 great image of Forry Ackerman with pretty girl and man in monster suit! REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE color 8x10 #2'55 James Dean! GIANT BEHEMOTH 8x10 '59 monster terrorizes city! SUZY deluxe8x10'36 Jean Harlow &Franchot Tone c/u! THINGS TO COME 8x10 '36 Raymond Massey in future! COMRADE X deluxe 8x10 '40 Gable & Lamarr by Bull! DESTRY RIDES AGAIN 8x10 '39 Jim Stewart, Dietrich! ARSENIC & OLD LACE 8x10 '44 Grant, Massey, Lorre! JEAN HARLOW candid 8x10 '30s with make-up expert! GYPSY 7.25x9.5 '62 super sexy Natalie Wood c/u! Cool Hand Luke (egg eating scene!) and on and on! I could easily go on listing dozens more titles (there are almost all "winners" in this select group of 299 stills), but you really need to check these out for yourself! It is lots of fun to look at them all over, even if you are only "window shopping"! REMEMBER THAT, IN BOTH OF OUR WEEKLY AUCTIONS (unlike some other sellers of vintage movie paper), EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR ITEMS TRULY START AT 99 CENTS WITH NO RESERVE ON ANY ITEM! AND WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT 99 CENTS, PLUS $9 BUYERS PREMIUM, PLUS AN OFTEN "MIS-CALCULATED" SHIPPING (those NINE DOLLAR buyer premiums magically turn ALL their "no reserve 99 cent items" into TEN dollar RESERVE items) ! In OUR auctions, you can purchase up to FIFTEEN 99 cent items and your total cost is $14.85, plus a very reasonable $7 U.S. shipping charge for a total U.S. cost for those 15 items of just under $22 for ALL fifteen items (and for the stills, we only charge $5 shipping, so 15 stills cost under a twenty dollar bill, not much over what you pay for ONE of their "no reserve 99 cent items"!). AND WE WILL LET YOU COMBINE PURCHASES FROM TUESDAY AND THURSDAY INTO A SINGLE PACKAGE, THUS SAVING YOU EVEN MORE! Remember that YOU can't get the great deals that happen week after week in our auctions 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 Tuesday Auction Gallery (http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php) and our Thursday Auction Gallery (http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php). 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 Tuesday Auction Gallery and our 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 Tuesday Auction Gallery. SO WE HAVE ALSO CREATED BACKUP "MIRROR" VERSIONS OF OUR CURRENT AUCTION IMAGE GALLERIES. They are located at 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 Tuesday Auction Gallery and our 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 TO YOUR FAVORITES/BOOKMARKS. So I certainly hope some of you will take advantage of my INCREDIBLE mistake and bid on some of these great stills ending tonight. AS OF THIS WRITING (with just hours to go) there are still around 40 of the stills at 99 cents, and around 100 at $2.25 or less, so there are PLENTY of great deals to be had! And have a Happy Thanksgiving. And at least I can be thankful that I didn't make an even BIGGER mistake and end auctions on Christmas Day (hmmm... Christmas falls on a Tuesday this year... make mental note, DO NOT list auctions on December 18th!). Bruce Hershenson eMoviePoster.com P.O.
