I was very flattered recently when I got an email from one of my
consignors complimenting me on the service I gave him.
It was such a nice email and worthy of posting. I asked him if he
minded my posting it and he said yes as long as I edited out his name.
Here it is, in all it's glory
Hi Rich
First, I wanted to thank you so much for your handling of my
consignment on Movieposterbid.
It was handled professionally, expertly and fairly.
You promoted my items spectacularly in your posts and in your ads
that I saw in Classic Images.
You gave me a time frame that my material would be sold in and you
met that date like clockwork.
My items were described well and most importantly, I was happy with
the prices achieved for my items as an overall sale and to cap it all
off, I was paid fast.
I did an Excel spreadsheet after you finished selling my posters &
did some painstaking work to compare the results you got for posters
at the other site and I was pleasantly surprised! Though some items
you sold went for considerably less than I hoped, other items went
for more and after your fees, I believe I actually made more money
with you selling my items and part of this was due to the fact that
your top fee is only 25% and it made all the difference.
Thank you Sir.
I've been collecting for decades and over the years I have consigned
material to all the major auctions, though mostly to just one because
the material that I have that Heritage would want - and that I plan
to send them at some point - have not been the items that I want to
sell yet, though at some point before I die I do plan to.
Now that I have seen what you can do for me, it's entirely possible
that you may even get some of this material down the road.
One of the auctions that I have consigned to, which had really been
the only auction to deal with for some years, really never left me
feeling as good as I felt getting your checks. The first problem was
that it seemed to be months and months before my first items were
sold. Much longer than it should have been in my opinion, but not
having much choice other than selling myself on eBay - they got my
material. They were still sending me checks in 2013 for items I sent
there in 2009! Foolishly, I thought my consignments to any big
dealer would not need me to check to see that I have been paid for
all my items sold, but years after my final consignment to them, I
believe that about a dozen or so posters I am certain I sent them
never appeared on any of the forms accompanying payment checks, but
because I did not make a complete list nor did I photograph any, it
isn't possible for me to validate my claim to them well enough to
make a complaint, even when he repeatedly emails me about future
consignments. To him I say "Thanks, but no thanks"
It was time for me to consider other avenues to sell the posters I no
longer wanted to keep and so, you got them.
But here's the good news. I am so happy with how you handled my
consignment that I am already getting another batch of material ready
to send you!
I apologize if my email was particularly long, but obviously I had a
lot to say.
If I was going to recommend any auction to any of my friends, at this
point it would be Movieposterbid
You are a true professional.
Thank you for your great service
