Just more reasons to try FREE listings on www.MoviePosterExchange.com -----Original Message----- From: Rix Posterz [mailto:rixpost...@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 06:38 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings I really believe it all has to do with how much money you're pulling in for eBay. A few months ago, when my numbers went south, they started nailing me with B.S. that had never happened before. If you make them their money, they'll leave you alone and give you the perks...if you don't... then axe comes down. Bunch of mealy-mouthed scoundrels as far as I'm concerned. They don't give a good goddam if you have 12,000 positive feedbacks and rate 100%...once the sales slump off, they go for the throat...

I know some people love it, but it is not my cup of tea. They have added so many anti-seller rules that I would be petrified after every sale, both that I might be scammed out of my poster, and that the buying might leave bad feedback for me and restrict my account.

We do not sell cheap repro & reprints. We sell only original art -- well, we do have copies, but these are copies made by the production and are vintage, production used art work. Our prices are less than what prop store sells art for -- i.e., an original pen, ink & marker concept sketch of Judge Hershey (in her Judge's uniform, with Lawblaster) sold for $89. That's screen used, original concept art which, at commercial movie prop/memorabilia sites, sells for over $400. We have Giger signed art. Not up, but to be listed, original art by Chris Foss for Flash Gordon... original storyboards & concept art by Alex Tavolouris, the first concept artist hired by Lucas for Star Wars... All original, not cheap repro... Of course, we had other items, like the British Quad Star Wars which --- got STOLEN!!!! -- anyone remember this story???? Missing Quad probably was sold by Heritage, but since we got 2 of each poster, our other Quad remains for ebay auction... Plus, a lot of high end items have sold at a BIN auction within 30 minutes of listing. Some within 5 minutes of listing. Of course, the 50K items does not apply to us because we are selling vintage items and end up paying UK listing fees anyway. There's no free lunch -- or at least, legal free lunches. ____________________________________ From: John Waldman <_jhnwaldman@yahoo.com_ (mailto:jhnwald...@yahoo.com) > To: _MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU_ (mailto:MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU) Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 8:29 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings I got the invite, but not to list 50,000 items.

This has resulted in some sellers flooding the site with cheap repros and reprints. The crazy thing is that the offer has been sent "by invitation only" and it seems to have been done at random. Store sellers are not eligible so anyone who has a store would be seeing a big drop in sales while this promotion is on. Just curious as to whether any MoPo members received the invitation to list 50,000 items on auction.
