*Our Spring 2010 Mini/Major Auction was a giant success, and it was truly our very best auction since our "major" auctions ended in 2005!*
*Our Spring 2010 Mini/Major Auction took in $224,281!* We know that the two parts of it contained an incredible selection of movie paper, and best of all, it covered all genres and years, and all sizes (from lobby cards to six-sheets), with an excellent selection of non-U.S. sizes. Our buyers rightfully recognized that many of the items in this auction would not come back to auction any time soon, and they "went the extra mile" for many items. But in addition, there were many real bargains, and a few "outright steals" (I am still shaking my head over that linenbacked silent six-sheet that sold for around $200!). You *MIGHT* think, after auctioning so much wonderful stuff, that we would be taking a "break" from auctioning interesting material, but actually, our three current sets of auctions have some of the coolest stuff for anyone not looking to spend an arm and a leg! The Sunday auction ending the 9th has all kinds of "odd" interesting items, some of which you have surely never seen (and may well never see again), and lots of it can be purchased for relatively small amounts of money. And our Tuesday auction has a fine selection of one-sheets, and our Thursday auction has a fine selection of single lobby cards. eMoviePoster.com truly is your one-stop shopping destination for quality movie paper! ------------------------------ *Are YOU one of the 600+ consignors to eMoviePoster.com?* If you have been staring at a giant pile of posters, lobby cards or stills that you never look at, or are gathering dust in your eBay store, why not consider boxing them up (or renting a truck!) and sending them to us? We auction around 2,000 items a week, so we can sell even a giant collection in a matter of just a few months, and we don't want *ONLY *your quality items, like some other auctions do. Is this the right time to sell, given the economic turmoil in the world? Our just concluded Spring 2010 Mini/Major auction took in over $224,000, and those were all *REAL* sales to real collectors! That was *OVER *our expectations, and that was with Part II falling on the night of the day the stock market was down 1,000 points at one time! Compare that to the pretty dismal results of lots of other auctions recently held, and you have to wonder if you are one of the few collectors or dealers left who aren't already consigning to us! Go to* http://www.emovieposter.com/statpages/consign.php* to see all the details of consigning (no tricks, gimmicks, or odious buyers premiums), and if you have any questions about consigning, e-mail us at * [email protected]<[email protected]?subject=consignment+questions> * . And if you decide you would rather sell your items to someone (we *NEVER *buy items from anyone, because we don't want to create a huge conflict of interest with our consignors), then please be sure to give the buyer our phone number or e-mail address, because they are almost certain to consign some or all of what they buy from you to us! ------------------------------ *Now is the time to start thinking about consigning to our Summer 2010 Mini/Major Auction* We want to let you know that *NOW* is the time to start thinking about consigning items for our next mini/major auction, scheduled for the end of July. We know that our last mini/major auction just ended last week, but *the deadline for consigning to this upcoming auction is June 15th*, and while that may *SEEM* like a long way away, those kinds of deadlines have a way of creeping up on you! We operate on a "first consigned, first sold" basis, and we often get offered the same items for our mini/major auctions from more than one consignor, and we always go with the first example we receive, so there is a great incentive for you to consign sooner than later. *What do we want for this auction?* Of course, it will likely have a fair quantity of linenbacked and paperbacked items, but as we did in our just concluded mini/major auction, we will also include many non-backed items as well. We prefer to have at least some number of a specific non-backed size (for example, in our just concluded auction, we had collections of window cards, inserts, and half-sheets), rather than just one or two of an unbacked size. We would of course like the consignments to have a minimum value of at least $50 per item (a realistic selling price), and we would certainly like all consignments to average at least $100 per item. *What types of items are best to send?* In the just concluded auction, film noir and horror/sci-fi did quite well, especially "better" titles (no surprise there!). In general, better titles and items with striking graphics did far better than lesser titles or titles with uninteresting graphics, so certainly bear that in mind. If you have items you are unsure about, why not * e-mail us a list<[email protected]?subject=consignment+questions+about+summer+2010+mini+major+auction> * and/or pictures of them, and we can give you our thoughts. *Is this the right time to sell?* In our just concluded auction, items were reasonably strong across the board, although there were some high points and low points (as always happens in an honest set of no reserve auctions). But the best items did *REALLY* well (and other auctions held just before ours were "soft", to be charitable). It seems that more and more collectors are finding that they are willing to bid more in an auction like ours where they know they will receive exactly what they bid on, and that the bidding will be conducted 100% honestly, and that they will likely be pleasantly surprised when they receive their purchases (unlike some other auctions, where they are often unpleasantly surprised by the condition of the items). As always, we will offer the bonus t-shirts to every buyer, and additional great bonuses who buy multiple items. We hope you will contact us soon if you think you have items that will fit well into this Summer 2010 Mini/Major Auction! *The deadline for consigning to our Summer 2010 Mini/Major Auction is Tuesday, June 15th!* Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
