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...
