If all someone can provide about an item they are trying to sell is (cut verbatim):
*"Very Rare nice orignla Gorden Movie poster from the 1930s comes with a Certificant of Authenicty to be All original"* I would see huge red flags everywhere. There is an $11K price tag and no other information is given about a poster incorrectly described, aside from that one line? In addition, who or where is this supposed COA coming from? The seller himself? COA's are worthless, regardless of who the seller is that provides them. The typos alone would keep me away. And he/she wants $350.00 to ship?? -kerry On Sun, Apr 1, 2012 at 9:18 AM, Phillip W.
