Rich,
I seem to have problems every time ebay changes something. Maybe I've built my searches the wrong way somehow. Most recently, ebay switched their results to a side-by-side auction list and BIN now. I don't really like it, but it didn't cause me too much pain until I saw that my searches were no longer restricted to certain categories or decades. That bothered me because I then have to go back in and click a few more times to try to narrow my search to "only original US posters from 1940-49" for example.

I have about 150 diff searches saved that I look over regularly and I haven't found any issues with them at all. Of course regularly means different things for each search.. some are every day, more than once.. others are weekly or monthly depending on if I'm looking for "that" stuff.. I haven't noticed any problems with any of it Rich=== At 12:04 PM 2/28/2008, Doug Taylor wrote: Sue, I have certain posters I'm always looking for on ebay (yes, Cavalcade and Cimarron are on that list) so I have search strings built and bookmarked which reference key words to include and exclude, as well as decade. I've got about 20 searches (because I also collect Noir and other genres or titles). It all goes well until ebay decides to change categories or search result displays (like they did recently) and cause about half of the searches to no longer be valid. It frustrates me badly when it happens, but I usually rebuild them and keep on going.

This is a great question Dave. I have often wondered the same thing. I'm like Doug and usually search by film title with the word poster attached somewhere or I wind up with every video dealer in the world on the list. I am even more curious about searches on Ebay. Do you all think that normally you just scroll categories of posters (ex: 1940-1949 poster category) to see if something of interest is available or if you are looking for something specific you go to advance search? I'm just curious.

David, I usually search using the name of the film, but I use the image search instead of the text search. It doesn't always work, but sometimes it will retrieve dealers who have an image posted on their site. Otherwise, it's film title + poster or one sheet. Not much help perhaps, but there it is.
