I agree that Rick should not be excoriated for his part

On the other hand how about addressing those so openly critical of
Rick Ryan. He was doing a great service to collectors and
unfortunately it turned sour and not through any fault of his. Why
don't you tell every negative critic to not say anything at all? I
don't see you chiming in on every stupid or negative comment made on
mopo and there are a lot of them.
In any case, since you didn't have anything nice to say about my
comment why didn't you practice what you preach?

To answer the original question, I will buy a piece in need of
restoration because I can't afford a pristine poster on a high
dollar title. And sometimes I just live with the defects and don't
bother restoring the poster.

1. when you buy with the intention to restore OR NOT to restore,
the amount you bid is affected.
2. if you buy without intending to restore, condition plays a more
important factor.
3. people buying from a smaller poster image on ebay that would not
be inclined to restore might not bid, whereas someone who restores
doesn't care.
the post was to get a perspective of the thought process of
buyers. to some, condition doesn't matter. some only buy VG cond or better.
i have sold posters on ebay where the buyer has told me in advance
that he will restore.......but when he received the poster, the
condition was better than he thought and framed it "as is". (this
happened to me recently and i just got an email from the buyer to
this effect---with a non-ebay transaction----so when we were
negotiating the price, he factored in the linen process cost.)
the converse scenario i am sure is, also, likely on ebay with smaller images.
of course..............some will never bid on a poor cond....
etc

how many buyers buy a poster knowing in advance that they will RESTORE/LINEN?
i suppose dealers & restorers have this in mind.
