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.
