Well, as there was more than one in the same find, it's not unusual for
several or even all posters to have the same, or close to, similar defects.
There was that batch of MAMMY long daybills all neatly sliced across in the
same spot a couple of weeks back. Another showed up a week later, coomplete
but with signs of the slice mark.
There's a bunch of THE OVERLANDERS (the film AUSTRALIA was partly lifted
from, for those interested) daybills that all have the identical same water
stain in exactly the same spot and so on.
I have a half dozen rolled Wim Wenders one sheets (ex-theatre, but never
used) that all have the same identical 6 inch ragged tear in the bottom
edge.
I got no impression from Franc's post that he was condoning doctoring of
images for sale. The seller seems to sell all sorts of stuff, has a high
feedback number and appears to be no specialist in movie paper.
None of which condone misrepresentation and tardyness of refund, but simply
indicate their priorities are not "specialist seller" and they have a less
than fortunate attitude to customer service.
And no cheque very soon, then time to alert eBay.... if you can find them.
Happy New Year to all!
Phil

I think some of us disagree that's it's a stock image, and not the poster
you were sent because too may details, (tears), match up between the two
sets of pics.
There's extra damage since the seller's pics, (in the link you gave), but
it looks like it's the same poster, (in the link with your pics).
I'm not excusing bad packaging, or slow refund, both crap, but I can't
see any definite evidence of anything further than the bad packaging
causing extra damage.
Cheers,
Rich

Folks
I think some of you don't understand what's going on so let me clarify a
couple things
#1 the image being used is a "stock photo"
the seller had several copies of this poster & sold the first one for
$600+
I cannot find that sale. it was from her own email
#2 the poster has been listed twice since I won the auction and every
time, the buyer re-used the same pictures
the auction I won
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310099293533
the most recent auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=310110499915
in addition, she sold another copy in between
but I was in LA at the time, so I can't find the link
it's the same as if you went to a car lot because yuo saw a 1975 Vette
that looked great in the ad and then you get there and the car doesn't
look anything like the pic in the ad.. it's called "bait and switch" and
even though in this case the seller seems to think there is no
difference between what she advertised and what I got, the fact that her
communication has been considerably less than satisfactory and etc..
well of course the seller is an idiot. How can you think anything else??
