I think you're wise to avoid this seller but I can understand why he didn't respond to your e-mail. I get loads of e-mails from people who write asking for additional pictures or special discounts or just stupid questions about the film itself or where they can buy a DVD of the film for which I'm selling a lobby card. These are usually from people who have nothing better to do with their time and even though I try to answer all of them, 99 3/4% of the time these same people NEVER bid on anything. Just loads of questions and requests for scans, which I presume they want to put into their dbase of photos. I think seller's make a big mistake by NOT offerring their buyers a 100% guarantee with a no fault return policy. I do this willingly because even I make mistakes and I know that if a customer feels "screwed" as you apparently did, they will not return. But I don't think in general it's a good idea to bad mouth a dealer on this board, particularly when the dealer put you on his do-not-bid list and you circumvented the process by having a friend bid on his auctions.

YET, UNDISCLOSED DEFECTS-hole in face, tears, rips, etc after kelliesposters screwed me, another poster came up, but she blocked me from bidding. ironically, a friend bought a poster that interested me (hint, hint).....and guess what? 3 of the four corners of the insert had SUBSTANTIAL damage that was undisclosed, and the picture was cropped. in both instances, pictures were requested prior to bidding and denied, and descriptions never stated the defects. so my "friend" left another bad feedback. i noticed after then, descrips for ahile were a little more detailed. michael -----Original Message----- From: Claude Litton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:09 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] bad pic, NO PURCHASE Michael I cannot understand why you would make an interesting post which clearly makes sense to pursue and then stop short by stating you will not name the seller. I recently named ricksmovies because they were posting 80's and 70's movie posters in the US Originals 1940's category. I not only did not start a war but I got an email from them telling me they corrected their listings and lo and behold, they no longer are doing this. Why not name the seller and explain the problem. In lieu of a war, you are doing the seller a favor. The seller may not know it, but many people might not be bidding on his posters for the same reason. Claude _____ Gas prices getting you down?
