some of this stuff is more along the lines of "If
Fox News says the same lie enough times, viewers
will take the lies as truth and believe them"
this is also so with advertising. I defy anyone
to say that I spout untrue statements about anyone or anything.
That's not my way.
The truth works and so I choose to reply and advertise with truth.
I'm the Anti-Fox News

Rich, you win again. You successfully ran me off
two other forums, and now I will leave this one as well.
It was nice being here. Those of you who want to
correspond with me can, either through email or Facebook.
Thanks

I think anyone here that is intelligent can see
where I' coming from.. I will buy collections.
I have always offered to buy collections.
Probably my 2nd post to MoPo was buying
collections (my first would have been an intriduction)
I regularly advertise I buy collections on
forums and in print advertising also.. PAID print advertising.
I've been advertising the same way for some
time, but of course, what my advertising never
does is to insinuate that you should not sell to
other dealers or that you shouldn't consign to other dealers.
I think each person should choose for themselves
what to do with their collections of anything
and the types of negative garbage I see from
some quarters I find personally objectionable
and as an assault on honesty & truth - Honesty &
truth being two things for which I have a high regard.
so to get back on point - anyone reading this
who may have a collection they are considering selling or consigning
I am happily buying collections. No collection is too small or too large
If any collection exceeds my capabilities - I
have a backer who will spend 100's of 1000's for the right collection
You have a $1,000,000 collection to sell? My
backer can handle it and it doesn't just have to be movie posters
Comic Book Collections
Comic Art collections
Baseball Cards
Paintings and Illustration Art
Gigantic Stills archives
All Kinds of Cool-lectibles
sorry.. we don't buy Beanie Babies.. but maybe
that other auction will take them on consignment!
thanks
Rich

I agree. Â Rich e-mail advertising the
advantages of
<http://moverposterbid.com>moverposterbid.com
was clearly not out of bounds, given the
constant onslaught of negative and demeaning
promotions coming from another vendor. I
believe I even called that vendor out for his
shameless marketing, which I found personally
offensive. It was also clear from Richâs
e-mail what he meant, i.e. that he would
evaluate whatever it is you wish to consign and
then propose a fair price, a price without the
gigantic commission charged by the purveyors of other auction websites.

Câmon Tommy. How dare Rich make an aggressive
pitch on mopo! Itâs practically heresy.
And itâs virtually unheard of for any dealer
to swipe at another or make any implicitly negative references to competitors.
I am calling for a ban on
<http://movieposterbid.com>movieposterbid.com
from mopo. It presents a clear and present
danger to the high standard of mopo
advertisements that arrive abundantly in my
mailbox every day. I would hate to see the
advertising bar lowered with this type of savage rhetoric. Whoâs in!
FYI-there is no perfect formula for buying as AD
points out. Each buy is unique and there are
many variables. Surely everyone knows this.

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.
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 ?

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

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

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$-82-110-25$ 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
