Some rival dealers and collectors point to the high results at our Mini/Major auctions and say (with much exaggeration), "This proves why you should never buy from those auctions, because you can never get good deals there and you always overpay". But is this at all true? Well, right now you can view *ALL *the 1,590 results from the first three parts of our Fall Mini/Major auction in one gallery at our "*Last Week's Results Gallery<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/results.html> *" at *http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/results.html* (this will be true until Sunday around 5 PM CST and then after that the Part I items will drop out and the Part IV items will replace them, so then you will be able to see all of the results from Part II, III & IV).
If you sort the results from "*high to low*<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/results.html>" at* http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/results.html* and look at the top 100 or 200 results, then you *DO *get a sense of higher prices than you would expect to see in other auctions or from no reserve auctions on eBay. But of course many of these are super-rare items that rarely if ever come up for sale, and when they do, it is usually in an auction with high reserves, or in an eBay auction or at a dealer's website where the "asking price" or "opening bid" is at retail or above. But you *ALSO *need to sort the results from "*low to high*<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/3/results.html>" at *http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/3/results.html*<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/3/results.html>and look at the lowest 100 or 200 results, and a completely *DIFFERENT *picture emerges. *NINETY EIGHT* of the results are $14 or less, and 246 are *TWENTY NINE* dollars or less. and almost all of these are *FAR *under where you would expect to see them on dealers' websites, and there is almost NO chance you could ever see results like these in other "better" auctions, both because many of them have high buyers premiums and because they would simply have "passed" (not sold). But because *ALL *our auctions are no reserve, even our mini/majors, you can and will make great buys almost every time, especially if you don't focus solely on the best items. And if you go past the lowest 246 results (the ones under $29) and look at the ones that ended at between $30 and $200, you will still find lots and lots of items that were really great buys! *I AM NOT POSTING THIS TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD THAT YOU MISSED GETTING THESE GREAT DEALS, BUT TO STRONGLY URGE YOU TO LOOK OVER ALL THE 269 OVERSIZED ITEMS IN PART IV THAT CLOSE SUNDAY STARTING AT 3PM CST* (by going to http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/15.html) because there are a *HUGE *amount of great deals in that set of auctions, which close in just 24 hours! Look over those 269 items and you will immediately be struck by just how low so many of the prices are, and you should place some bids, either when you look or right near the auctions' close, because if items are going to sell this inexpensively, then you want to take advantage of those deals. Maybe it is just that there are too many great items being sold at once, and not enough buyers for them all, but after 44 years in collectibles I can tell you that *whenever* this situation comes up it always comes to pass that before too long collectors and dealers look back on it as a great buying opportunity!
