AUCTION SITE SERVICES would provide a more memorable acronym. At any rate, it's good to see someone come along and provide serious competition for The Bruces, Greys, Peters et al of this world. You look set to make a real splash at the deep end of the pool. Yours, in anticipation, and wishing you great good fortune!

That's right the world's smallest online vintage movie poster auction house 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 , 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 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 -------------------- David Rew www.vintagemovieposters.com.au www.vintagemovieposters.xxx www.daybill.com.au -------------------- Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com___________________________________________________________________How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing ListSend a message addressed to: [email protected] the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-LThe author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
