These conversations move very rapidly, especially when one gets loopy after a lot of hours writing emails. My apologies... I don't know if you've been following the discussion about our submissions to Heritage and our stock -- which we had been told by Grey were tagged and inventoried -- "disappearing". We were never paid for them and they weren't returned.
After Heritage only listed a portion of our posters on their inventory, Rudy Franchi told us Heritage didn't want the common posters -- like the Judge Dredd double sided transparency posters used in light box marquees we had sent in our first consignment batch -- and suggested we consign the higher valued posters to Heritage, and common posters like the aforementioned Dredd to Bruce. I posted my submission to Bruce on MOPO because there was a lot of talk about my responsibility for sending an un-inventoried lot to Heritage. In fact, some MOPOers said I was to blame for their "disappearance" at Heritage because I hadn't inventoried them or pursued Grey about their status. Well, at the same time we sent our 2nd batch of posters to Heritage, we sent an equal sized consignment batch to Bruce. Like the Heritage consignment, this consignment to Bruce was not inventoried. I haven't been posting Bruce illegally appropriated my goods because there wasn't a problem with payments or returns. The deal was straight ahead and worked without any effort on my part. And if Bruce wears a kilt or has good legs... well, I couldn't say. ________________________________ From: Rix Posterz <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 6, 2012 8:55 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Bruce vs Heritage inventory & auciton services Wait...maybe I missed something.
