Hi fellas et al, I also buy collections (of different collectibles as well), but I do not publicize much due to various reasons.
However, current query is easy enough: Before I evaluate offer, several variables are in play: i.e., paper condition, desirability, auction timing, etc., etc. OK, consider none of the variables ... a basic evaluation: throw out 2 highest results / 2 lowest results, 4 results are left with an average value of $45 (60+55+40+25=180/4=$45) $45 subtract emovie's commish(I'm guessing 50% for easy arithmetic), and you arrive at $22.50 another variable(or 2): amount of items in collection / labor involved in acquiring / do I like the person? / desperation factor?, etc., etc. Offer whatever percentage of $22.50 that is appropriate / applicable at current interval. I've been buying collections of shi-tuff for 30+ years: comics, cards, hummels, signs, toys, decorative bronze, 25% inventory of a hardware store, 3,000+ banks are among a fav few, oh yeah ... and movie posters. BTW ... anybody have any type of a collection that they wish to sell / unload????? ... pls contact / reply thru this message. If you made it this far ... thanks for your time. ad On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 9:53 AM, filip de volder <[email protected]> wrote: > that's strange Rich ... you offer to buy posters now instead of taking in > consignment and you propose "fair prices" instead of peanuts so when i ask > you to explain what you have in mind as for competitive deals compared to > emovieposter you say i have a problem with you ? will you reply that to > everyone who wants to know how your deal works in order to determine > whether it's interesting to propose posters to you ? since you are > comparing yourself in your email to emovieposter i'm just asking you to > give a simple exemple ... if there's no rhetoric in your email then why ask > me what my problem is instead of simply answering my question ? filip > > ------------------------------ > Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 02:05:59 -0700 > To: [email protected] > From: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [MOPO] DON'T CONSIGN YOUR COLLECTION FOR PEANUTS! > MOVIEPOSTERBID.COM WILL BUY YOUR COLLECTION FOR CASH > > what's your problem lately filip? > did I do something to insult you or something?? > > > At 09:56 PM 10/12/2014, you wrote: > > Hi Rich , that sounds pretty interesting , so what you say basically is > that you'll buy straight at prices that are competitive with what one gets > when consigning with emovieposter right ? > since they have an auction history on their site showing all previously > made prices on auctions how would you calculate what you'll pay for a > poster ? > say for example a poster sold for 60$-55$-40$-15$-9$-82-110-25$ over the > last 4 years at emovieposter , where (but not always) price differences may > reflect condition variations , what would you pay for this poster in order > to obtain mutual happiness? > thanks , filip > > > ------------------------------ > Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2014 14:03:41 -0700 > From: [email protected] > Subject: [MOPO] DON'T CONSIGN YOUR COLLECTION FOR PEANUTS! > MOVIEPOSTERBID.COM WILL BUY YOUR COLLECTION FOR CASH > To: [email protected] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > *Did you ever notice how some auctions sell most your collection and > advertise that dealers can buy your stuff in their auctions & resell it for > 2-3-4-5 times what your posters go for at auction?
