I was talking to heritage about auctioning some sports items about a month ago. That department said thier new requirments are a minimum of $5000 total and a minimum of $500 min per lot est. value.
I think that is going to slow the flow if that new policy applies to movie posters as well. That would have to help emovieposter.com and MPB Brek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd Feiertag" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 1, 2009 2:11:14 AM GMT -07:00 US/Canada Mountain Subject: Re: [MOPO] AN OPEN LETTER TO CONSIGNEES 2. heritage, although they do allow consignors to set reserves with their approval, only accepts consignments of posters totalling about 5,000. Michael, I think you have an extra zero on your figure. Todd Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:10:34 -0400 From: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] AN OPEN LETTER TO CONSIGNEES To: [email protected] yesterday, someone asked about the value of his 1931 one-sheet poster that he might consider selling. it was a rare poster, and the only known sale was by emovieposter (bruce) over 15 years ago for about 600. this seller wants to sell it and get 3,000 net. 1. ebay is totally wrong for such a quality piece. 2. heritage, although they do allow consignors to set reserves with their approval, only accepts consignments of posters totalling about 5,000. 3. bruce would clearly sell it, but he starts his auctions at a dollar. this is risky for the seller. Surely, if the value of the poster is just a couple of hundred, so be it!!!! bruce did his job in getting the fair value. But, that wouldn't please the consignor. i have about 6 top posters that i want to sell. one, for example, is ALL ABOUT EVE insert. bruce sales of it are as follows: $1,650 in 2008, $733 in 2005 and $1,976 in 2002. Is there a way for me to guarantee $1, 400 in my pocket or have it returned to me? is there a way for that 1931 poster to achieve 3,000 net for that owner or get it returned to him? thoughts? michael 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.
