It does make you wonder just what bona fides you have to present to start one of these VERO thingies? "Hi, I'm the grandson of [insert crazy old actress here], and I just gradumated from law school and am looking to pad my resume and inheritance..." I wonder what Ms. Thing would think if people started boycotting her at autograph shows?(And I must admit I'm assuming she does these, as she seems like a perfect candidate, former C List actress with no discernable prospects...) --Peter

David has had 4 of his perfectly legitimate poster listings immediately *yanked* by Ebay because some crazy old actress thinks she owns the rights to her name on a poster, even though she knows she signed those rights away over 50 years ago to the movie studio... ...but this filmfootage seller, who is known to have sold confirmed fakes for thousands of dollars a pop is still allowed to continue to list more fakes for sale on Ebay? Sheesh! There outta be a law. Oh, wait... there are actually several laws... but no one seems interested in enforcing those real laws, only in performing useless VERO dances for show. Hey... here's an idea... what if someone (certainly not me... I mean, y'know... someone with time on their hands...) were to file VERO violations on this fraudster's Universal Horror listings, perhaps as a representative of the estate of Lugosi, Chaney or Karloff or on some other pretension? Wouldn't Ebay immediately pull those listings? There's more than one way to skin a BLACK CAT... -- JR Todd Feiertag wrote: #yiv1852743073 .hmmessage P { margin:0px;padding:0px;} #yiv1852743073 { font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;} Jeff, Just looking at his small photo, the poster doesn't look right. The detail and colors look washed out, but then again, the photo is small and not very clear. Notice his Return Policy? Satisfaction Guaranteed or Full Refund...Item must be returned within 3 days of receipt. As anybody knows, that is not nearly enough time to have the poster checked out by an expert to see if it's real or not and of course, the seller knows this and purposely has that short return window of time. ****I should also note as it's already been mentioned on MoPo, that this seller has already allegedly sold many FAKES to unwary collectors and dealers. Best, Todd Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2009 14:27:23 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] Inquired into a filmfootage item for sale To: [email protected] i wrote this seller, last night, about this item he is currently selling on ebay, asking who had done the restore and/or backing work. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140323550803&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 here is the reply i just received from him: Hi, the collector I got it from told me that it was backed by studio C, this was around 5 years ago. Thanks........... Just more info to ponder, and made aware of, with regard to Universal items.
