I checked out this guy's other items, which range from comic books to vintage coin-op machines. The pricing on everything is breathtakingly delusional, and unless the shipping includes oral sex from the delivery woman.... it's is a tadge high too. Oh, well. People can charge whatever they want. The prices are so high that I highly doubt if ANYONE with enough money to pay these jacked-up prices would be dumb enough to pay them. A quick Google will also give even the most clueless poster newbie enough ammo to realize this guy was on crack when he listed this stuff.

 FLASH GORDEN VINTAGE MOVIE POSTER 100% ORIGINAL

Very Rare nice orignla Gorden Movie poster from the 1930s comes with a Certificant of Authenicty to be All original

Putting aside the issue of this particular Flash Gordon serial being made in 1940, the poster itself is from a Universal International re-release from around 1947. This seller doesn't appear to do a lot of poster selling. While someone can charge whatever they want, having an $11,000 Buy It Now price would seem to warrant doing a little research, unless this level of accuracy represents full disclosure.

There are several active poster sellers on EBay and elsewhere who will describe a poster as follows: "Original vintage poster from this 1937 John Wayne western" The poster in question is perhaps a 1952 re-release, but that information is not disclosed. Though the poster being sold is not a reproduction and none of the description is inaccurate, it certainly seems like a hugely deceptive practice.
Thoughts/solutions?
