I dont agree at all with the comments below that "everyone knows that buyers check Heritage, Bruce and other sites before they bid."
Maybe they should do that but there are a great many examples where buyers don't do there homework and buy posters on impulse without realising that they could purchase the same thing much cheaper elsewhere. JOHN REID VINTAGE MOVIE MEMORABILIA Website: www.moviemem.com PO Box 92 Palm Beach Qld 4221 Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael B To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 17, 2010 9:37 AM Subject: [MOPO] Sellers are not naive regardless of what people say about ebay starting prices, everyone knows that buyers check heritage, bruce and other sites before they bid. of course, rarer, special items will find a lone collector willing to pay anything. i have been such a collector, from time to time. when i listed THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY on ebay today, i checked heritage's and bruce's sites. i remember seeing bruce's auction for it, because i had recently purchased the one sheet and had it framed. bruce reported at the time that the condition was fair/good: it had water damage and other damage, but i believe the buyer was happy with it. and it was surely worth 505. there are 3 half sheet posters on ebay now (by different sellers) that keep getting renewed every 30 days. they are about 175 each. i have them on my Want List, but i won't pay those prices. i have each insert, and know the value. bruce and heritage confirm these posters are valued 20-40/50. i would feel stupid paying 175. michael 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.
