Mike,
I can understand your frustration, but I am a collector that is actively buying and selling. At least one still exists, but I think there are more. BTW, for all MOPO, I'm looking to add to my collection or upgrade a couple of pieces so.

To give some context, I have been collecting movie posters for almost 20 years and have been a member of MOPO at least 5+ years. To be frank, I am mostly a lurker but post on the list every couple of months depending on my collecting needs. The bottom line, in my opinion, things have obviously changed around here. When I first joined MOPO, I had great success in using the list to prospect for posters on my want list. I would post a WTB and then would have multiple dealers AND collectors that would respond. Or, I would post a question or a comment and then have at least a few helpful responses. Nowadays, my WTB posts are either totally ignored or I get maybe one response (thank you Kirby!) from a dealer. While I appreciate the one response, where is everyone else??? The biggest question is where are the collectors that used to freely buy and sell on this list??? Are the posters I'm looking for become too rare??? Have all of the posters I am looking for been hoarded into collections??? Are the collectors not selling anymore??? And my posts with questions are largely ignored as well.....I asked on the weekend if anyone knew of poster frame providers that ship to Canada and of course no one answered. Anyways, just frustrated. Thanks. _____ Win a $10,000 shopping spree from Hotmail!
