fleaBay is toast
do you folks realize what a shadow of it's former self that site
is today??
in posters>original>us: fleaBay has about 5000 posters listed
daily. if you remove the posters that are not true auctions
because they are priced at retail or higher (making them set sale
items) you may have 1000 auctions. Bruce sells more vintage
posters each week than fleaBay has listed as real auctions and
surely, only a portion of the fleaBay listings sell.
I sell about 300 posters a week through my true auctions and
Heritage sells about 400. Those 700 posters (combined) may be
more posters than are sold via fleaBay auctions each week..
fleaBay has Universal horror forgeries and Pulp Fiction bootlegs.
Star Wars bootlegs, minty whites, hairy belts and hairy backs.
There are Portal reprints being sold as originals by people who
know better which begs the question: why hasn't anyone listed
some of the repros from MovieGoods and others as real posters yet?
You have fake props, fake art prints, fake Gucci bags, fake
perfumes and colognes, fake designer clothing.
Bruce got $580 for a Pulp Fiction regular a few weeks back.. How
much would all PF posters be worth if not for the bootlegs??
our own Alan Adler has a CFTBL one sheet listed (on linen) for
$8500 and there are no takers!!
These issues are in every category. S2 Art was complaining they
constantly contact fleaBay about their art print reproductionss
being sold as original prints (it's a real surprise we took so
long to figure that out) and in comic art there is constantly
some fake being offered or something being sold as original when
it is not. A phony Frazetta sketch was being sold that we believe
is traced back to Frazetta Jr (who is now being charged with b&e
into the family museum & attempting to steal 90 paintings)
they have fake props (items bought at used stores, and marked as
Western Clothing etc)
fake antique furniture (commercial reproductions sold as originals)
fake dvd's from China
fleaBay has known it is a clearing house for thieves for a very
long time and without the lawsuits that have been filed by
France, Sweden, Italy and other countries (yes, countries and not
people) can you imagine how many phony Gucci bags would be for sale??
The buyers have been leaving fleaBay for years and will continue
to do so until even sellers like Sean, Dave and Marty who run
real auctions, eventually leave as well due to falling sales
figures and eventually the site will be sold to Google or
Microshaft to integrate with their own systems. But each day it
becomes more useless in general.
recently I bought many unsold window cards that were listed on
fleaBay to flesh out my great wc auction of 2 weeks back.. I sold
every one and made money on every one. But the other dealers
couldn't sell them at lower prices than I got on fleaBay, which
is proof all by itself how useless the site has become.
of course.... I am definitely not complaining
: - )
ps.. I said fleaBay 11 times in this post

This is one of the two major problems with ebay and ebay is
too stupid to recognize what this has done to the
collectibles market. By making it virtually impossible to
contact other people, they prevent righteous persons from
warning others of fraud or mistakes. It also does not allow
us to uncover shill bidding by sellers. These have
definitely put a serious dent into the poster market and no
doubt, into other antique items. Ebay is too preoccupied
with making money and "protecting" itself against off-ebay
transactions. I believe it has cut down on transactions and
the profit margin as well, but they can't measure this and
therefore they wont remedy it.

Thanks, Lumi, I guess that supports the old adage that
if something appears too good to be true, it is indeed.. too
good to be true. Let's just hope that some newby collector
doesn't get suckered in by this guy...
