MovieArt resells many posters that were consigned to us. We try to
make a good deal for the consignor and for us. I am mostly
interested, frankly,
in better material as it does not make financial sense to accept
lesser titles that are easily found elsewhere. That situation just
spells stasis for the collector and for MovieArt. We also buy
material outright.

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?
