Mike,
Rest assured that if ANYONE on MOPO had one of the items you wanted to buy, you would hear from them immediately. If no one responded, that means no one has them, it's as simple as that. Don't take it personally. I specialize in Lobby Cards and have a website with an inventory 17,000 individual items. I would love to sell a few to you, but so far you didn't ask for anything I can help you with. It wouldn't make much sense for me or anyone to announce they can't help you, just so you won't feel ignored. Where are all the collectors? That's what I'd like to know. Best, Zeev From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Davis Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 9:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] MOPO is useless (for me) Sorry to be dramatic, but I have to vent. 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!
