Or, on the flip side.--
someone spent 486.00 for a 20 dollar poster...
this buyer will be crying the blues, if he learns that, a month
earlier, he could have gotten the same item, in the same condition,
for 2 ten dollar bills.
OUCH!
it all depends on how one looks at the scenario.

I feel I am putting forth incredible advertising for eBay!
After all, someone got a $486 poster for $20 last week, so that guy
is super happy and LOVES eBay.
I can see their new ads: "Come to eBay where we will hide the items
so thoroughly that you can find items for a fraction of their
regular price"!

The consignor obviously made a very good decision in sending that
poster to you. I have been selling quite a lot through eBay lately
but you have to be prepared to take the risk of getting low prices
for decent posters in their auctions. The fact that you and others
have taken so many buyers away from eBay is an indication of the
impact of the negative policies that they introduced.

It's had another significant bump in the bid price:

Must be that damed time-extended bidding causing the jump in price!

Of course I sometimes get far more than eBay sellers (as in the
case cited above), both because I reach more interested collectors,
and because of the "trust" factor. I believe it is fair to say I
get a substantially higher amount overall for 100 posters than an
eBay seller would for the very same posters.
Absolutely, any buyer with the time to search eBay regularly should
do so, especially if they can handle the possible frustration of
poorly packed or over-graded posters.
Then again, I don't always sell for more. I sometimes have some
real bargains!

Bruce, you are actually making a good argument for buyers to do a
search on eBay before buying elsewhere.
It certainly is a Catch 22.

Not sure how you can promote the advantages for sellers of
emovieposter over "ebayjima" without it highlighting the opposite
for buyers.
Hmmm, appears to be an advertising Catch 22.

Sometimes WHERE you auction (and how many interested buyers you
reach) can mean as much as WHAT you are auctioning.
eBay brags of its millions of bidders, and other auctions brag of
their hundreds of thousands of bidders, but what difference does
that make when the vast majority of those people will never ever
buy a vintage poster?
I will stack up OUR 31,000+ actual buyers (each of which is
someone who actually purchased vintage movie paper from us)
against the bidders from any other auction in the world!
