That's right the world's smallest online vintage movie poster auction
house <http://www.vintagemovieposters.com.au/auctions> has officially
opened its doors and although it's just an extension of our online
vintage movie poster shop we are quite proud of our little AHS (that's
Auction House Services for those of us in the 'biz').
We are ALSO the #1 movie poster auction website in the world also known
as "our street", well certainly on our side of the street...OK on our
side of the street and before the corner of the next street. All righty
then... would you believe on our side of the street, before the corner
of the next street and the house with lead light glass in the door? Yeah
baby, we kick ass!
_*THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU THROW YOURSELF HEADLONG INTO OUR
AUCTIONS (READ CAREFULLY!)*_
* We've got a staff of one and that's me and I'm part time, that makes
us the hardest working smallest auction site with the smallest
turnover, the smallest number of movie posters auctioned each week
AND the smallest number of staff in the world. Woohoo - We win! :-)
* We are also the cheapest auction house in the world, currently all
our auctions start at .01 cents and NO reserve! We win - again!
* We do NOT issue catalogues so don't ask for one but if you're going
to bitch about it then go to our auction page, find the item you
want then hit Print-Screen on your keyboard...now you have your
catalogue.
* We ONLY auction one poster per week, maybe every other week, maybe
more than one poster every week - maybe not (dammit I hate the
pressure this thing has already bought on me).
* We're on Facebook, it's here http://goo.gl/xwTWx and just for the
hell of it why don't you 'LIKE' us? To be honest we don't care if
you don't, we have cats and dogs and they like us a lot!
* We do NOT have a Pay N Hold, I almost got arrested the last time I
asked for that.
* We DO have a "I won that poster in your auction but I am too tight
to pay postage so can you not send it until I win something else so
I can keep the postage costs down, please?" We'll let you know when
we have a shorter name for it.
* We do NOT have a buyer's premium we wished we did then we'd really
be making money, but we don't so aren't you the lucky one.
* We DO charge the same flat rate for postage anywhere in the world -
$20, packaging included, insurance is extra - just ask for it. If
you don't like our postage rates don't bitch and don't bid either,
simple.
* We DO have a complaints department, it's run part time by my good
friend Helen Waite - if you have a complaint you know where you can go.
* We DO this for money, it's not a lot of money but that money is used
to buy more posters for my own personal collection, so if you have a
problem with that please refer above.
* We do NOT do this for some altruistic motive to save the world, the
planet or you from bad poster sellers or even other nasty auction
houses (and there aren't any, really), hell you're a grown up, do
your own research, otherwise refer above.
* We WILL continue to run our Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo Vintage Movie
Poster Show auctions, we're just not sure when and as it's bound to
clash with something else, we don't hold out much hope for it's
longevity - but we'll let you know, there's probably going to be
something good in it.
* We guarantee we will be outed in all the best forums, so bid early
to keep the watchers at bay.
* We DO take payment via PayPal, so that's good for you and good for us.
* We DO carefully package your order and we DO we know how to because
we like it when people pack our posters properly so we feel we
should pay it forward.
* We DO care that you get good service.
* We WILL treat you how you would want to be treated as a customer,
unless you're a complete dick-head, then we'll ban your ass and
we'll tell you and everyone else that you were a complete dick-head
and we just banned your ass.
* If anything goes wrong and it's our fault, we'll fix it somehow, you
can be damn sure of that, because with me you are dealing with a
fellow collector who cares.
* Oh yeah...and we don't auction other people's posters.
* Yet. ;-)
*Despite the levity of some of the above we are serious about our little
auction site <http://www.vintagemovieposters.com.au/auctions> , so
please do take time to visit, even place a bid. If you have any comments
feel free to drop me a line. Our first **auction
<http://www.vintagemovieposters.com.au/auctions>**is now up and running
and if you want to be sure not to miss out on future auctions then why
not register, after-all it is free.*
/PS. And yes we built it and yes we build websites for other poster
dealers/collectors too and yes we already have been asked to build
websites complete with an online shop and auction component for some
other people, probably because eBay is making it harder and harder for
hobby dealers now. Either way it's very cool to be asked.
/thanks and regards
