thanks Tommy & Allen
I have no idea why Filip is being ignorant about his questions either
facts are that if you go back, he used to attack
Bruce frequently on NSFGE, and now Filip has worked his way to my direction.
Why? Who knows.
IF his gripe is method of advertising, you are
right Tommy that he didn't say anything last week
about the box of chocolates ad, the totally
shameless Marlon Brando ad or any of the other
shameless ads - all of which have been designed
to not just say the author sells posters, but
that everyone else are people who need to be
thought of in completely negative ways. I'm not
interested in such advertising and mostly I don't
think the people of Planet Mopo (or any other
forum) are interested in seeing such forms of
advertising. I'll go further to say that such
advertising in the corporate world would find
itself in front of a judge in major civil suits,
but here in Movieposterland it is commonplace,
though I only ever see it come from one locale.
to answer Filips question: Filip, I would offer a
fair price to anyone who offered me a collection
I wished to purchase within come parameters,
though with your Filip-centric example it is
impossible to make any kind of reasonable
inference. So let me state it this way, another
collection I would pay someone $10,000 for, I
would offer you 50cents, because that is as much
business as I would choose to do with a braying fool
does that answer your question well enough Filip??

Mudslinging? To slightly misquote a famous book
how about the mud in your own eye? As for
commenting in public on a public email I didn't
see anything from you on Bruce's somewhat
offensive 'box of chocolates' ad. If Rich is
making a statement which appears to cast doubt
on the claims of someone else then I am sure
that other person is more than capable of
fighting their own battle. It does seem to me
that there is a personal animosity between you
and Rich which is being aired here. I don't
really see what your problem is or why Rich
should have to defend himself or provide you
with an example when you only seem to be making
mischief. As I said previously, anyone offering
material to Rich can judge for themselves whether or not it is a fair offer.Â
S o why am I getting involved? Just that I
have been annoyed by what I consider an
unnecessary bit of sniping which should have no place n MOPO.

Tommy , i have no axe .
as for emovieposter , put on your glasses and
just read the first sentence again , Bruce is
the only one often stating that dealers can buy
your stuff in their auctions & resell it for
2-3-4-5 times what your posters go for at auction
why can't i ask a public question  regarding a public email i received ?
since rich compares himself to emovieposter
saying he can do so much better giving fair
prices instead of dirt prices (which is just
mudslinging) i ask him to give a concrete
example , am i asking too much ?  Â

I have no axe to grind here but I do wonder what
your problem is, Filip. I cannot see where Rich
compares himself to emovieposter, nor am I quite
sure why you feel the need to question this in
such a public manner. It is for whoever wishes
to take advantage of Rich's offer to decide
whether or not the price offered is fair. If you
are so interested why didn't you just offer to
sell him a poster and see what happened?

that's strange Rich ... you offer to buy
posters now instead of taking in consignmentÂ
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 ? Â filip

what's your problem lately filip?
did I do something to insult you or something??

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$-82-110-25$Â Â 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

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?
Do you want to get fair prices for your
collection, or do you want to sell it for dirt
prices so that dealers and other collectors can
buy them for a tiny percentage of their value
and make more money on your stuff than you can?
At MoviePosterBid.com We Will Buy Your Collection For Cash!
That's right we will buy your collection for cash
No waiting for auctions to take place
No waiting for some auction to sell your stuff
for peanuts and send you the shells.
Some auctions are only interested in how much
they can make and how little they can pay you
Imagine this, you buy a poster for $100 in 2008.
Now you need to raise some cash because you're
closing on a house or buying a car or you want
to bring your children on a vacation so you send
your collection off to be sold.
That same poster you paid $100 is auctioned for
$7 and then to add insult to injury, the auction
takes a whopping 75% of the sale price and you
get $1.75.. that's right, one dollar and seventy five cents!
Seriously, is that the expectation when you send
your collection off to some big seller who plies
you with promises of the Moon only to find that
a trip to the trash can was more worthwhile?
Don't believe the rhetoric! They may tell you
how "bad" all other sellers are, but when these
auctions sell your posters, the only interest
they have is how much money they make and what
you make isn't even a consideration in the equation.
MoviePosterBid.com is owned & run by a longtime
collector Richard Halegua who started selling
collectibles in 1966 and I am still actively
collecting, so I know how collectors feel when
they want to buy, sell, trade.. or auction their collectibles.
I don't want to see my collection
unceremoniously auctioned for dirt-poor prices
and I doubt you feel any differently
When I examine your collection I'm not licking
my lips wondering "how many consignment fees can
I get from this stuff" ..... I'm thinking "what
price can I buy this collection for that both
myself AND yourself can feel good and happy with the transaction".
Don't fall for rosy stories of incredible
success only to find huge failure at the end of the road
At MoviePosterBid.com when you offer us your
collection, we're looking for mutual happiness.
Find your happiness at MoviePosterBid.com
