Very true, that acronym would have been better, AHS was too subtle?
Yeppers, I would imagine the likes of Grey, Bruce, Peter&Sean, Rich,
John Donahoe and others have already called emergency meetings to see
how they can combat the new competition because already my first auction
well under way (surprised? Imagine how shocked I was!). I have no doubt
I have made a serious dent in their market share, I foresee , some site
closures and server downgrades, perhaps a major re-jig of their pricing
structure, a review of their overheads and perhaps even staff reductions
just to ensure they can stay afloat. Gawd, I feel bad now, who knew...I
may have to close my site site down.
But no...no deep end splash, just happy to paddle round in the shallow
end, small ripples, too old to start that game again...
but thank-you!

auction site with the smallest sales turnover, the smallest number of

[email protected] did previously state on 4/04/2013 9:06 PM:
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!

*Subject:* [MOPO] FA: We are the smallest vintage movie poster
auction house in the world!
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
