*The deadline for consigning to our September Mini/Major Auction has passed & NOW is the time to consign for Halloween (and start thinking hard about December!)*
<http://www.emovieposter.com/club/staticpages/half_rear_window_watermarked.jpg> This September Mini/Major Auction is limited to solely linenbacked and paperbacked items. The auction will be held in three parts, with the first part running from September 7th to 14th, the second part running September 9th to 16th, and the third part running from September 11th to 18th. The deadline is now passed, but August 11th was the last day to consign to our September Mini/Major Auction, so* CONSIGNING TO THIS AUCTION IS NOW CLOSED! *If you missed it (or if you have quality non-backed posters), then you can now instead consign to our December Major Auction (unless your items are horror/sci-fi/fantasy items, in which case they can go in our 15th Annual Halloween Auction; see below). ------------------------------ * We are starting to get many Halloween-related consignments sent to us; BE SURE TO LABEL YOUR SHIPMENT! <http://www.emovieposter.com/club/staticpages/aust_db_creature_from_the_black_lagoon_watermarked.jpg> <http://www.emovieposter.com/club/staticpages/aust_db_forbidden_planet_watermarked.jpg>* * 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 even though we have just started taking consignments for this Halloween auction we already have quite a few top items! So if you have any to consign, then send right away, so that your items are much more likely 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%20auction%20consignments>* right away at *[email protected] <[email protected]?subject=Halloween%20auction%20consignments>* 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, know that it is fine to consign to our December Major Auction.* With the clear success of our July 2014 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 out of the 1,600+ items, 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%20Major%20Auction%20consignments>* right away at * [email protected] <[email protected]?subject=December%20Major%20Auction%20consignments>* 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.
