Frankly, I have no idea how difficult this poster is to obtain.  The movie has 
some sentimental value (my wife and I have watched it many times together), and 
while looking at moviegoods.com I just picked the version that I liked the 
best.  Feel free to quote outrageous and/or unreasonable prices, I can say no, 
politely, with the best of them.

I don't think that it is Jack Davis art -- although definitely his style.

I assume this is obviously a very difficult poster to obtain.  (I assume this 
because it is not something I collect.)  I can understand your placing 
limitations on its condition but please explain why the person must price it 
reasonably.  Why can't the owner be a little unreasonable?
If I had a very rare poster that I was willing to part with, I would certainly 
ask a "reasonable" or maybe unreasonable premium.

Considering the offerings on ebay of certain sellers who consistently overprice 
their common items, this poster seems worthy of an "unreasonable" price.  When 
I want a poster that I have been looking for, for a long time, I just ask for 
it and let the chips fall where they may.  I can always say no or try to obtain 
a lower price.  Why prevent someone from offering  you  a rare poster but place 
a restriction on them up front by telling them, don't ask a lot for it?  At 
least this is how I interpret your request.

I have seen a number of requests like this in the past and even replied to them 
because I own many posters that i am willing to part with.  Unfortunately for 
most people, I have ceased replying to these requests (I do not have this 
poster) as they interpret the word "reasonable" to mean "very cheap".

PS:  Anybody have any Warner Oland Chans they are willing to sell me?  I will 
pay an unreasonable amount if I do not own the poster.
