you bet I do take consignments John. I have all along and I'd be very
pleased to get one from my decades-long friend

Rich,
I didn't know that you took consignments. I'll have to keep you in
mind. I've been thinking about selling some of my collection. I
almost died 3 years ago, and the thought of my wife having the
burden of liquidating my collection has me thinking it would be
better if I do it.
But I have to say I hate the thought of selling any of my
posters. And I still buy a couple now and again. I think I will
have to be dead before I stop collecting altogether.

Subject: [MOPO] A Letter From a Consignor about sending his posters
to MoviePosterBid.com
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
