That's interesting.
I contacted Criterion to see if they wanted to use my White Dog
posters for their DVD, and they seemed to be somewhat interested.
They eventually stopped emailing me, and they released the DVD
without my material. I don't know if they found another poster source
or if they just released the DVD without a poster gallery.
So, I can't even get DVD companies to take my posters when I go out
of my way for them.

OK, here's a completely different kind of 'stupid question' I've
received on several occasions:
(Studio Representative) I see you have a rare poster from one of
our most famous, money-making classics that's only a couple decades
old. We're in the process of producing a new DVD/Blu-Ray/Special-
Edition/Some-other-way-to-separate-our-fans-from-their-money-ploy
and have just noticed that our multi-billion dollar enterprise
didn't bother to save even one of the posters from our classic
film. Now, I know that we've done everything in our power to screw
poster collectors in the past, but do you have one that you can
pull out, take professional transparencies of, and send to us for
the special features???
Cheers,
Bob

Maybe not a stupid question but, I once sold a Boxoffice movie
theatre journal from 1955 on EBAY. I had put in the description
"388 pages". We'll that was 388 numbered pages and the buyer was
very upset that it did not have 388 actual pages. That would have
been one big magazine!

You're lucky. I get these ALL THE TIME even though my postings all
say in big bold print: THIS IS NOT A VIDEO. THIS IS NOT A DVD.
Usually the buyer completes and pays for the transaction and then
sends an e-mail saying, "I just ordered a video from you." This
is to ensure additional work on my part, cancelling the transaction
through Ebay so that I can get my commission fee back and reversing
the PayPal payment. It also means I have to recreate the listing
for my dbase which automatically deletes listings once a purchase
is made. I love customers who don't read the listing.
The second dumbest question that I get ALL THE TIME and love to
death is from people who see I'm selling a lobby card from let's
say The Bride Wore Boots who'll write to me and ask where they can
find the DVD because they've been looking all over for it. FRANC

I know I don’t sell as many items as many of you all do, but I
still have yet (knock on wood) to have a single person complain
that they thought they were ordering a DVD, or ask a DVD question
while the auction was running.
