Dave You may do this but it is a waste of time. People who buy posters of value are fully aware of these facts. People who buy inexpensive posters are buying posters for movies they have seen. Anything about the movies is a diversion away from the description of the poster which should be detailed and significant. Sellers should spend the time signifying details of the description and taking better pictures. I assure you that the use of less words and better pictures and details, will give you much better sales and prices. Claude In a message dated 1/10/2009 2:39:49 P.M.

Hey, Freeman: There's absolutely nothing wrong with a concise paragraph giving the context and significance of a film (I do it myself). The keyword is "concise." It's the people who cut-and-paste whole pages of text from imdb or wherever into every single listing (including exhaustive cast lists and the life stories of everyone down to the lowliest gaffer), that are annoying. And as for being a curmudgeon, I like to think of it as a lifestyle choice.

When adjectives are on occasion inserted in the headings, or extra time is spent explaining why a director is significant, what make a certain, sci-fi film unique over many of the others, why James Whale counts, or Edgar Ulmer, or why a film is crime and not noir, as a seller, I try and excite and educate new enthusiasts to the fold with information, along with accurate descriptions of the specific piece offered and listed in the proper category. If we sellers only had to depend on crusty, tired, curmudgeons and harpees of the hobby who only pay fleeced and bleached prices why bother with Ebay. They are all on Mopo............ There I said it. freeman ____________________________________ New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making _headlines_ (http://news.aol.com/?ncid=emlcntusnews00000002) .
