I don't need to tell any of you that week in and week out I auction hundreds
of items that sell for low, low prices. But Tuesday night's 480 single
vintage 8" x 10" black and white stills* * (closing tonight, on the 29th of
December) represent *REALLY* incredible values, and that includes a lot of
stills that show the absolute best shot imaginable from many iconic movies,
plus some wonderful candids (including many of top directors and actors on
set), and yet many of these great stills are currently languishing at low,
low, prices!
With just 13 hours to go, the 480 stills include 40 that are still at $1
each, a surprising 134 that are still at $3 each or under, a silly 191 that
are $5 each and under, and a mind-boggling 289 are still at just $10 each or
under!
*HELLO! This is just about 2010, and $10 doesn't buy you much of anything in
the "real world", but it will buy you some pretty amazing vintage stills! I
can't begin to imagine what some of these very same stills might bring in
those "big city" auctions with their fancy catalogs (and "house bidders" who
have a not-so-mysterious ability to bid just under the real bidders' bids)!*
Look at these examples (and these are truly just a few of many, many,
incredible bargains):
*VERTIGO 8x10 still '58 Alfred Hitchcock, best close up of brunette Kim
Novak!** *"very good to fine" condition, currently *TEN DOLLARS!
ROARING TWENTIES 8x9.75 still '39 classic image of Humphrey Bogart betraying
James Cagney!** *"good to very good" condition, currently *TEN DOLLARS!*
*SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS 7.25x9.5 news photo '61 sexy Natalie Wood &
'fiancee' Warren Beatty at premiere!* "good to very good" condition, currently
*TEN DOLLARS!*
*KING KONG VS. GODZILLA 8x10 still '63 giant lizard headbutting giant ape in
the stomach!** *"very good to fine" condition, currently *TEN DOLLARS!*
*HORSE SOLDIERS 8x10 still '59 close up of U.S. Cavalryman John Wayne on
horseback, John Ford *"very good to fine" condition, currently *TEN DOLLARS!
**
DIVINE WOMAN 8x10 still '28 close up of beautiful Greta Garbo held by Lars
Hanson! *"very good to fine" condition, currently *NINE** DOLLARS!*
Note that some auction houses treat their buyers as if it is Halloween
all year long, except they play many "tricks" on them, and give them very
few "treats"! They *SAY* their auctions are "$1 no reserve", but actually
they are "$15 no reserve" when take into account their minimum $14 buyers
premium. They *SAY* many of their items are in excellent condition ("very
fine to fine minus"?), but all too often the buyer receives an item that is
in far lesser condition than they said, and they even trick you with the
images, using "stock images" or "enhanced images". Worst of all, some use
"house bidders" who seem to have a spooky ability to bid just under the
amount the real bidders were bidding!
*But in eMoviePoster.com auctions, "$1 no reserve" means just that*, and
every week we sell lots and lots of items for just $1, $2, or $3! And every
item is honestly described, with a super-sized unenhanced image of every
item. And every item is truly sold, and to the highest bid placed by real
bidders!
This week, we are auctioning over 2,300 items in our Tuesday, Thursday,
and Sunday auctions, and it is virtually a certainty that some percentage of
them will sell for "bargain" prices, and there may be some absolute
"steals", and because we have such a *HUGE* selection, *you can easily find
extra items to add to your order and not pay any extra U.S. shipping, and
that can be a huge savings!* Remember that, unlike the majority of
"hobbies", where the money you spend on your hobby is gone forever, the
money you spend buying movie paper will almost certainly be recovered the
day you ever sell your collection (and many, many collectors have made lots
of money on their collection over time, because unlike stocks, vintage movie
paper continually rises over time!).
Of course, once you get *OVER* just $10, you start hitting lots and lots of
"better" titles, but an awful lot of those are currently at
*VERY*reasonable prices, far under what some of them have sold for in
the past
(the ones we can find any record of selling in the past!) including:
