Rich , how many times you've begged me in the past to send you posters or sell them to you cheap in a lot and i was never interested ? so i can't be that much of a braying fool , seeing the chaotic way you've handled your movie poster consignment auctions (and that's not me braying , just check on your own posts from the last months) . I guess the reason why you want to focus on buying posters now is because the way you've handled your auctions scared away any and all potential consignors well, good luck to you , and i hope you'll finally get to replace your long gone secretary as indeed she seemed to have been very vital . filip

MOVIEPOSTERBID.COM WILL BUY YOUR COLLECTION FOR CASH To: [email protected] 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??

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.

MOVIEPOSTERBID.COM WILL BUY YOUR COLLECTION FOR CASH From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] 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?

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? 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.
