I was there. There were two wealthy individuals with big pocketbooks spending whatever it took to get what they wanted. The quality of most of the merchandise was pristine though and it was an opportunity to purchase some items that have been rarely touched and uncirculated.

I must say I was astonished, especially with the stills not only by the prices they got, but also the quality of the items. I managed to get one lot aswell, 75 titles beginning with P for 660, which is not too bad, even though I have no idea what it is and I haven't got round the shipping costs yet. Yesterday evening however i was crying out aloud "What recession!" Single stills of Sharon Tate, how lovely she may be, for more than $600 a piece. A lot of 175+ SF/horror halfsheets for $6500 ex BP is surely too much (too much for me anyway) even when there's a House On Haunted Hill on borad. Very exciting, but there must have been musea or archives or whatever present with a blank cheque and the order to BUY, BUY, BUY Wim Op 15 dec 2008, om 20:05 heeft Bubba Despres het volgende geschreven: > I am just wondering if anyone would like to comment on the > outrageous prices paid by some people on this past weekends Profiles > In History auction. > > I only won one lot and the other ones I though I bid extremely high > on, only to be outbid. > > Anyone else have a similar experience?? > > Louie > > 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.
