Well, I guess there's nothing for it, we need another acronym to join the OT/FS/FA/SOB/FMSWAKO. et al....
How about AR (Auction Reminder)? Actually, I don't mind these reminders, even if I have already done my dash bidding on Sean's latest auctions in this particular instance. Bruce's ARs always makes me smile.... he either wanders, moseys or meanders over to his auctions near the end and is STUNNED that the action is so slack. I get this mental image of Bruce kind of loping across the office to the PC, looking a little like Gary Cooper..... I think old pros know well the last minute action (or at least some of them remember it...) but MOPO grows all the time with new folks who never post, so I think for people like BH, SL, Lumi, Freeman, et al, who regularly run auctions to post wake-up calls and try and drum up some interest, more likely from MOPERs who may not have logged on all week, is no bad thing. In the current climate I'm always happy to see pro sellers who know what a slog big listings are to do, do get results. I know of one failed poster dealer who has flung himself off his stack of folded one sheets, in homage to all those Great Depression movies.

Sean, I have known you for many, many years form this list. I cannot believe you are unaware of the "last minute" bidding that takes place on ebay that can take an item multiples of the current bid. This sounds like an eBay advertisement rather than a genuine question on who collects Elvis or Marilyn. --- On Sat, 5/16/09, Sean Linkenback <[email protected]> wrote: From: Sean Linkenback <[email protected]> Subject: [MOPO] Does Anyone Still Collect Elvis Or Marilyn To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, May 16, 2009, 9:33 PM When looking over the bargains in our current eBay Auctions, these pieces really stuck out at me. We have four lobbies from Jailhouse Rock, and four lobbies from The Prince and The Showgirl all at what would probably be 25-year record lows for these icons. Not a single one of the Elvis cards is more than $32 right now, and not a single one of the Marilyn cards is more than $12 right now (and this doesn't even count the beautiful French Grande on Seven Year Itch which is at $15, or the Let's Make Love one-sheet at $46). Check them out below: Jailhouse Rock Lobby Card #2 - $26.00 Jailhouse Rock Lobby Card #6 - $10.50 Jailhouse Rock Lobby Card #7 - $20.50 Jailhouse Rock Lobby Card #8 - $32.00 Let's Make Love One-Sheet - $46.01 Seven Year Itch French Grande - $15.50 Some Like It Hot Italian 2-Folio - $20.08 Prince & the Showgirl Lobby Card #1 - $9.99 Prince & the Showgirl Lobby Card #2 - $11.90 Prince & the Showgirl Lobby Card #3 - $11.90 Prince & the Showgirl Lobby Card #5 - $9.99 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.
