Hello Michael, Todd and Mopo Yes, it is true we hope to have at least a $5000 minimum value consignment from any one consignor. And since we feel there is significant price information from our site which can help us and the consignor in that evaluation, we believe it is more often than not a fair accessment, though always willing to discuss. We offer two very successful venues in which to sell material and do getter better prices on much of the material we sell. So if a consignor has three $500 items and thirty $30-50 items we will do business and will seldom turn away an opportunity to sell quality items. We are always open to good consignments and try to be very fair in our accessments. Michael did have some nice items and a few that would normally be run in our weekly venue. From my understanding, he wanted all in a catalog auction and thus we were unable to work with him in this instance. I feel sure we should be able to do business in the future. I will often take a chance on rare items in the hopes they will exceed the $5000 mark with no priors to compare. Sometimes they work out very well. Sometimes not as well as hoped, but we will always welcome inquiries as how we can help a potential consignor and if value warrented will travel to you to discuss!

For instance, if someone has 5 real nice $500. items, they would turn it down??

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<http://emovieposter.com> and MPB Brek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd Feiertag" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[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.

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 <http://www.filmfan.com> www.filmfan.com<http://www.filmfan.com> ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content. ________________________________ Get back to school stuff for them and cashback for you.
