once again, Claude gives an astute response

Anyone who bought a poster should have bought it
to enjoy it. Hang it on the wall and look at it
and when you tire of it, replace it. You got
your use out of it so sell it for whatever it
will bring and buy another. You don't need to
spend 5 or 6 figures on a poster. You can enjoy
a $25 poster just as much as a $5000 poster.
If you bought what you liked and made a profit -
great. If not, big deal. If you only bought to
make a profit and you bought many posters from
the 80's and 90's then you didn't do enough research on what to buy.

It's all about supply and demand and the problem
with "current" posters is that there is just too much supply of them.

This is really depressing.
Anybody who bought posters of movies he liked,
in the past 30 years or so, can look at the
current auction from Bruce and realize that most
of them are worthless or close to it, and most
likely will remain so. Collectors who have no
âinside connectionsâ have, most likely, paid
much more for those posters than they sell for today.
I would like to see others comment.

Thursday night's 834 rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets
(our largest selection ever!), closing tonight,
on the 11th of March, starting in just 13
hours, represent REALLYincredible values, and
that includes a lot of cool posters, and yet
many of these are currently languishing at low, low, prices!
With just 13 hours to go, the 834 rolled 27" x
40" one-sheets include an astounding 270 that
are still at $1 each or under (that is cheaper
than wrapping paper, and you could buy these and
have the most interestingly wrapped Xmas
presents this year!), an even more amazing 456
that are still $3 each or under, and an
unbelievable 563 that are still $5 each or under!
HELLO! This is 2010, and I doubt you could have
purchased any of these 563 posters for UNDER $6
when these movies first came out, or any time
since! Remember that those "other" auctions
have a MASSIVE $14 buyers premium they tack on
to EVERY purchase! And remember that in OUR
auctions all you have to pay is $10 U.S.
shipping, no matter how many of these posters
you buy (not the nosebleed shipping some
auctions charge)! And if you are in our e-mail
club (over 6,000 members), you get great ADDED
bonuses if you purchase 10 or 15 items in all!
Of course, once you get OVER just $5, you start
hitting lots and lots of "better" titles, but an
awful lot of those are currently at VERY reasonable prices, including:

P.S. About the Originality of Rolled One-Sheets
Many collectors would like to add posters
from their favorite movies of the 1980s onward
to their collection, but they rightfully are
afraid they will be sold commercial posters (or
reproductions or bootlegs), rather than actual
posters either used in theaters or intended for
theater use. WHEN YOU BUY FROM US THIS WEEK,
YOU HAVE A GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE BUYING A
GENUINE ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTERS! This is
because all of these posters come to us either
from theater owners, or from advanced
collectors (often ones who purchased the
posters right when the movies first came out),
people who know how to distinguish an original
poster, and also, we here at eMoviePoster very
carefully scrutinize every poster to make 100%
certain it is genuine! But you don't have to
take our word for it! If you purchase any
poster this Thursday, and you have the
slightest doubts about its originality after
you receive it, it is fine for you to return it
for a full refund within 7 days of receipt (but
we virtually never get a single poster
returned, because we reject any poster that is
consigned to us if we have the slightest doubts about it!).
About the Condition
Normally when we sell movie paper, we
grade the posters on a scale that allows for
some defects typical of 30 to 75-year-old movie
posters that were actually used in theaters.
Such posters often have some minor wear at the
very least, and it is next to impossible to
find posters that have no wear at all, and it
would be silly to have a grading scale where no
posters would qualify for "very good to fine"
(or better grades), so we use a more "relaxed"
scale that allows for very minor defects in our "very good to fine" grade.
But in this auction, we are selling a fair
number of posters from the past 20 years, and
those posters can more often be found in
excellent condition, because there were dealers
and collectors who purchased these posters
unused, and kept them in wonderful condition.
So for THIS auction, we grade on a MUCH
stricter scale than we do for our folded
one-sheet auctions! We downgrade posters to
"very good to fine" for very minor defects
(things like a single tiny tear in the border,
or faint creases in the edges). We further
downgrade to "very good" posters that have
several of these types of defects, even though
the poster would probably qualify as "fine", if it was from the 1940s!
We use this "sliding scale" grading
because it allows us to better convey the
poster's true condition to our buyers. If we
used the exact same scale for all posters, then
most 1920s posters would be graded as "fair" or
"poor", and most 1980s or 1990s posters would
be graded as "fine", and we realize that that benefits nobody!
In this auction, we have given a more
detailed overall condition grade ("fine", "very
good to fine", "very good", "good to very
good", "good", and "fair", with only a few
"poor") for each poster. We felt this would
help bidders identify items they want to bid on
more easily. Of course, we still strongly
recommend that you look at our super-sized
image to see the extent of the defects.
Know that we generally grade FAR more
harshly than any other dealer we know! A 1990s
poster that we grade as "good" or "good to very
good" may well be one that many collectors
could display on their wall just as it is, and
may well be one that many other dealers would
grade as "very good". So please don't reject a
poster because it has a grade of "good" or
"good to very good". Please study our
supersized image and see if the defects are the sort that you can accept.
