All three parts of our September Mini/Major Auction are now live, and Part I ends Sunday. This September Mini/Major Auction is limited to solely 713 linenbacked posters. The auction is being held in three parts:
*Part I <http://www.emovieposter.com/online/previews/2014sept/parti/> ends Sunday, beginning at 3PM (NOT 7PM, like the other two parts): it runs from September 7th to 14th* and it contains 288 linenbacked posters that are * NOT* one-sheets, but measure under 30" x 45" <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html> *Part II <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html> **ends Tuesday, beginning at 7PM**!: **it runs from September 9th to 16th *and it contains 358 linenbacked 27" x 41" U.S. one-sheet posters <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html> *Part III <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/14.html>*: *ends Thursday, beginning at 7PM**!: **it runs from September 11th to 18th *and it contains 67 linenbacked "oversized" posters <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/14.html> *OR (until Sunday at 3PM) you can view ALL of the items in all three parts HERE: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/all.html <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/all.html>* *THERE ARE A LOT OF REALLY RARE AND REALLY DESIRABLE POSTERS IN THE THREE PARTS OF THIS SPECIAL AUCTION.* It is important to realize that every one of these 713 posters have been professionally linenbacked (usually at a cost of $100 to $250 each, less for the smaller posters, and more for the larger ones), and yet every one of them will be auctioned starting at $1 with no reserve, so there is the opportunity for incredible buys! With just two days to go on the 288 posters in Part I, there are over 100 of these posters at $5 or under (of course, most of them will get more bids, but that shows you just how great a potential for bargains there is!). Whether you would be buying these for your collection or to re-sell, know that you may be able to get some incredible buys in all of the above three auctions. If you are someone who likes to get posters for really low amounts, then you should be sure to look at the posters in all three parts that are in "lesser" condition. These are in three different categories (and come to us from four different consignors): 1) Posters that acquired water damage after they were backed. Two different consignors sent us posters that suffered water damage due to a pipe breaking (this is more common than you might realize). In most cases, the damage is along one side of the poster, in both the poster and the linen. If you are someone who can accept this (or are willing to pay to have them re-restored), you can sometimes make unbelievable buys, even on one of a kind posters! 2) Posters that were backed "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects the poster had, but they are sometimes not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster). In other cases, the defects are very noticeable (like paper loss), and then you should only buy them if you are someone who can accept this (or are willing to pay to further restoration performed). Again, there can be great buys on posters like these, because some people want all their posters to "look perfect". 3) Posters that have extensive low quality restoration. These were sent to us by someone who bought them from a collector who apparently was an amateur restorer. They took lesser condition posters and then did a lot of paint restoration to each one, and it is very noticeable and not well done. But some of these are extremely rare posters, and you may well get them for very low prices! Of course, there are also a *LOT* of wonderful posters in all three parts that are *NOT *in lesser condition! You can distinguish them from the ones in lesser condition in seconds, simply by looking at our overall condition grade (the lesser ones are all graded either "poor", "fair", or for the least damaged ones, "fair to good"). Remember that, in the case of the nice condition posters, all of them have already been professionally backed, and yet, you not only may be able to buy some of them for less than what you have seen them sell for in the past, but in some cases, you may even be able to purchase them for under the cost of the restoration. I urge you to look over all of the posters in all three parts, because you may make some wonderful buys on posters you will really enjoy owning, and how often does that happen these days? *PART I BEGINS ENDING IN JUST TWO DAYS, ON SUNDAY! And you can see ALL the items in all three parts before any of the Part I items start to close!* *IMPORTANT!* If you have any questions about anything connected to this auction, feel free to call me directly on our hotline number at 417-256-5555 (during regular business hours). *YOU CAN ALSO CALL ME ON THIS NUMBER AS EACH OF THE PARTS ARE CLOSING,* which will be of great benefit if you have a computer problem, a power failure, or whatever. I am here to help you in any way I can, before, during, and after the auctions. We give *TRUE* customer service to everyone who buys from us, as you well know, because you are one of our past customers, and we don't judge our customers by how much money they spend with us. We give everyone the same "gold standard" quality of customer service, whether they spend $10 or $10,000! Also, if you have ever purchased from *ANY* other major auction, then you know that after the auction is over, they always add on "buyers premiums" (which used to be 10%, but which are now always 20% to 25%), and they also quite often charge outrageous shipping costs, and these can turn a good buy into a bad buy all by themselves. They even now have found a *NEW* way to squeeze extra money out of you, which is to charge you a 3% surcharge when you pay with certain credit cards! And of course, many auctions are notorious for poorly describing the condition of their items, and you have to hold your breath when you receive your purchase, hoping that it is even close to how they described it. But in *OUR* auctions, not only do you *KNOW* that we always describe everything completely honestly, but we also guarantee that everything is as we said it was, and we give a * lifetime guarantee <http://www.emovieposter.com/unused/20120625ad_emovieposter_no_buyer_beware_buyer_warranty.jpg>*, fixing our rare mistakes, even when they are discovered *YEARS* after the auctions ended. There is *NO* "Buyer Beware" in eMoviePoster.com auctions! But not only *DON'T* we have buyers premiums or outrageous shipping or credit card surcharges, but we *DO* a have truly hard-to-believe bonus offer to the buyers from our current September Mini/Major Auction who purchase *TWELVE* items in all four parts combined.. Here is the offer: Buy *TWELVE* items *TOTAL* from any of the three parts combined and get a set of *SIX* of our 43 full-color movie poster books, plus Hollywood Posters I to VI (our *SIX* great Christie's auction catalogs from 1990 to 1994, and long out of print), plus our Movie Poster Sales Results *SIX* volume Megapack - total original retail of these *TWENTY* items is $300! * SO IF YOU HAVE NEVER RECEIVED SOME OR ALL OF THESE BONUSES (or maybe even if you have), THEN YOU CERTAINLY SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OFFER, BECAUSE WE ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ABOVE BONUS ITEMS!* *ONE FINAL AMAZING BONUS OFFER:* An incredible "*GRAND PRIZE*" for the person who purchases the most items from all three parts combined: *ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS* (at our current retail) of *VINTAGE MOVIE POSTERS* from the * fixed price items <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/2.html>* section of our site (*OUR* choice only, so no requests)! I certainly hope that you look over all of the linenbacked items in this special set of auctions, and consider purchasing at least a few of them, because there may well be the chance for fantastic bargins. I know that many of you are collectors but that some of you are dealers (and some *BOTH*!) and either way, *YOU REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER LOOKING OVER ALL THE ITEMS CLOSING SUNDAY IN PART I AND PLACING AS MANY BIDS AS MAKE SENSE TO YOU* (if some items are going to sell inexpensively, then why shouldn't *YOU* get those good buys?). But you can't do that unless you bid, so why not go right now to *http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html>* and look at the many bargains and joke low prices? You can focus on the items in Parts II & III *AFTER* the ones in Part I close on Sunday. *SOME IMPORTANT ADVICE ABOUT OUR AUCTIONS, WHICH DIFFER FROM MANY OTHER AUCTIONS IN A FEW KEY WAYS:* Please remember that in our auctions, a *LOT* of the bidders like to wait near the end of the auctions to place their bids! So don't get a false sense of security just because you have had the high bid for almost all of the seven days an item has been on for, *BECAUSE ON BETTER ITEMS, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THEM TO DOUBLE OR TRIPLE IN PRICE IN THE CLOSING HOURS*. But also remember that our auctions have "time extended bidding", which means that five minutes must go by without a bid before an auction closes, so you can *NEVER* have an item snatched away from you in the final seconds (but you have to be watching the item as it closes, to make certain that no one entered a higher bid than yours in the closing minutes). Good luck on whatever you may bid on in Part I of our current September Mini/Major Auction ending on *Sunday, September 14th *(beginning at 3 PM CST, *NOT *7 PM CST like our Tuesday and Thursday auctions). -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 29 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
