*Friday WAS the LAST DAY to get any final consignments for our September Mini/Major Auction (to bhttps://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox?compose=147bd851561dd906e <http://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox?compose=147bd851561dd906e> held September 9th to 18th) in the mail to us (or UPS or FedEx!). BUT BECAUSE I KNOW PEOPLE PROCRASTINATE, I WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEND ITEMS ON MONDAY, SO THAT GIVES YOU A COUPLE OF MORE DAYS TO GET ITEMS READY, BUT THEY MUST BE MAILED ON MONDAY!*
This September Mini/Major Auction is limited to solely linenbacked and paperbacked items. The auction will be held in two parts, with the first part running from September 9th to 16th and the second part running from September 11th to 18th. We already have a large number of items consigned for this auction, but you can still get yours included, as long as they are linenbacked or paperbacked, and as long as you get them in the mail to us by Friday, August 8th. If you miss this deadline, you will have to wait until our December Major Auction (unless they are horror/sci-fi/fantasy items, in which case they can go in our 15th Annual Halloween Auction; see below). *IMPORTANT!* It is fine to consign *ANY* linenbacked or paperbacked items for this auction, no matter what value they have. Generally, people who have posters linenbacked or paperbacked only do so when they are of a fairly high value, but sometimes people will restore lower value items, and we don't mind having them in this auction. The next time after this auction when we will also auction linenbacked or paperbacked items will be December, so this is a great chance to get those items auctioned in a quality auction, but you must get them to us by the above deadline. Don't send us a list of what you are sending. Just * let us know <[email protected]?subject=September+Major+Auction+consignments>* that you are sending them, so we can be looking for them, and e-mail you when they arrive. Remember that this auction can't include any items that are not linenbacked or paperbacked. ------------------------------ * We are starting to receive Halloween-related consignments sent to us; BE SURE TO LABEL YOUR SHIPMENT! Now is the time to start sending items for our 15th Annual Halloween Auction! BUT IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU TELL US IF YOU ARE SENDING ITEMS SPECIFICALLY FOR HALLOWEEN!* If you don't label them, then we will likely put them in our regular auctions. Also, we get lots of duplicated submissions for this auction, so that is all the *MORE* reason to start sending early! There are some excellent horror/sci-fi posters and lobby cards that we seem to get every year, and if you have one or more of those, then you want to send them *NOW*, so that *YOURS* is the one included, and not someone else's. We just had a wonderful selection of horror/sci-fi/fantasy in our July Major Auction (and many sold for excellent prices), and we have just started taking consignments for the Halloween auction, so if you send right away, your items are almost sure to be included. And we almost always get much stronger prices for horror/sci-fi/fantasy items in this special auction than we do in our regular auctions. Be sure to e-mail * Phillip <[email protected]?subject=Halloween+auction+consignments>* right away at *[email protected] <[email protected]?subject=Halloween+auction+consignments>* to let us know what you plan to send for this 15th Annual Halloween Auction, and we will quickly let you know if they are right for this special auction. ------------------------------ *It is not too soon to consign to our December Major Auction! **Now that the deadline for the September Mini/Major Auction has passed (Monday is the last day as stated above!), know that it is fine to consign to our December Major Auction.* With the clear success of our just concluded July Major Auction, it is clear that we have lots and lots of top buyers, and they want to buy any sort of quality item (at least from us!). Unlike the September Mini/Major Auction, which only includes linenbacked and paperbacked posters, this auction will (like our July Major Auction) *ALSO* include unbacked posters, lobby cards, stills, and any other really cool and rare items we get consigned for it (but the kind of items that truly rarely ever are offered for sale or auction). *IMPORTANT! More than ever, *I am going to continue making a really major effort to keep lesser posters out of the December Major Auction. Why? Because there were around 100 items in the July Major Auction that sold for under $20 (and around 200 under $30, and around 400 under $50), and I absolutely believe that those items would have almost surely done *BETTER* in the regular weekly auctions, because there, they would have been between the "middle of the pack", and the top items, so many more people would have seen them, because so many people only sort high to low and look at the top few pages of items. But in the major auction, they fell at the very end, and they got far fewer views, and I believe that caused them to go for less (and of course, some people are going after expensive items, and skip the less expensive ones because they have to decide how to spend the money). This is especially true for the kinds of items that show up regularly at auction. People know that they can "let this one go by", because there will be another one before long, and instead they focus on the kinds of items that rarely come up for sale or auction. So I am asking all of you to bear this in mind when sending items for the December Major Auction. Of course, you can send items and leave it to *ME* as to whether they should be in the major auction or in the regular auctions (because my goal is the same as yours, which is to maximize how much the items sell for!). It is not a question of strictly price, but also of rarity and desirability. When I put an item that we have all the time in the major auction, I think that few people are "fooled", and most of them know that it is something they can skip and bid on the next time it shows. *I THINK THAT IF ALL OF THE CONSIGNORS REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I WROTE ABOVE, THEN WE CAN HAVE A REALLY WONDERFUL DECEMBER MAJOR AUCTION!* Now is a great time to let us know what items you have for this special auction! Be sure to e-mail * Phillip <[email protected]?subject=December+Major+Auction+consignments>* right away at *[email protected] <[email protected]?subject=December+Major+Auction+consignments>* to let us know what you plan to send, and we will quickly let you know if they are right for this auction, or if they would be better in our regular weekly auctions (where they will stand out more, and get you more money!). -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 29 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
