i think i might have upset you sean when i spoke well of bruce. i saw your posting last night encouraging people to consign to you. i was unimpressed. i never knew of you before. the 2 two sites that impress me are bruce's and heritage for items in excess of 3,000/4,000 where audience participation can increase the value of a good consition poster.
every price i started my ebay auctions was AFTER reviewing bruce's sales, hesitages and icollectmovieposters.com After doing so, i listed my stuff LOWER. Read my description for the beautiful PORTRAIT OF JENNIE. I specifically reference bruce's recent sale in that one. my poster is in super, great condition. link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&rd=1&item=200250685824&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=010 check my 2 lot package of BOTH half styles of BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT where i am asking 79.99. i show in that description one honorable ebay seller having just one style for 175.00 right now there are 11 ebay watchers on this lot. i am selling these two posters because i just acquired 2 other in even better condition. i am not looking to make a killing. my cost with postage was from an ebay seller was about 60.00, so if i sell...............at the opening, i make merely enough for a burger and coke. bruce would get about 75 each in this condition. link: http://cgi.ebay.com/BEYOND-A-REASONABLE-DOUBT-BOTH-STYLE-HALF-SHEETS-dana_W0QQitemZ200250682959QQihZ010QQcategoryZ60331QQssPageName ZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem so much of my stuff started at less than 9.99-------------- i am becoming to realize that on higher end items, people want to deal with those sellers like bruce and grey, just as i do. when you have a loyal base of buyers, you get fair value of an item that starts at 99cents. i cannot risk that. as to my combined lot of PSYCHO and BIRDS, that is my ONLY high ticket item listing. it is a MAKE AN OFFER AUCTION. the condition is awesome of each poster. that description is worth reading. my feedback speaks well of me............... michael -----Original Message----- From: Sean Linkenback <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, 6 Sep 2008 12:40 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] FS: ebay items ends today......AUCTION QUALITY ITEMS TO STEAL Not usually one to question how people price their own material, but wanting to see these great titles for pennies, I went and looked at the listings. Psycho Insert/Birds Half sheet for $2675? Not exactly pennies. A Psycho insert usually sells for $1000 or less, Birds half is $500 or less. No savings there. I started my last Psycho one-sheet at $9.99 Dead End re-release one sheet for $199.99? Heritage auctioned one a couple of months back that ended at $100 – not exactly pennies again. Road to Utopia $188 Seems about right, later “road” movie, but not offered as much size and rolled. Really d on’t feel like checking any more, perhaps the pennies titles are things that are listed for $9.99 and might usually be advertised at $20 or something? I’ll say again, that several people still do well when offering material on eBay – and I count myself in that group, just see some of the record sales I mentioned yesterday and every one of those items started for less than $10. Absolutely lots of people go to Bruce’s website to bid, but that doesn’t mean they’ve left eBay entirely, and there is no substitution for large hi-res scans and a no questions asked return policy. From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2008 11:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] FS: ebay items ends today......AUCTION QUALITY ITEMS TO STEAL bruce (and readers of MOPO)--- bruce, your sentiments confirmed my original posting. i am sure you won't be surprised when i call you and ask the procedure to consign. let's see what happens with my stuff ending on ebay today. when i used to sell on ebay a few years ago as a hobby, it was fun. but having great titles go unnoticed or for pennies recently is frustrating. the variable that no one seems to recognize is that you seem to have taken tons of ebay buyers with you and they don't look at ebay. AND, those buyers seem to be willing to pay premium prices because so many eb ay sellers scammed people with horrible descriptions and tiny scans. I was scammed recently on ebay.....from a 15,000+ feedback seller who doesnt take paypal. I understand people buying from you (just like I do) because you seem to value your reputation more than a quick sale. in any event, my only question for possible future consignments is the turnaround time for you to list items. BUT, FOR TODAY, bruce, you know very well that the items i have listed are steals for those still checking out ebay listings. michael Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
