fully story
a few years back I was called by an auction here in town if I wanted
to go look at some posters they were selling that week
I go down and it was all shit and oversized shit to boot. 30x40s
and 40x60s etc
so I'm sitting in the guy's office talking to him just fo rthe hell of
it and he says "yeah, those posters all came out of this place on
eastern ave...."
and I interrupt "... Eastern.... was this MovieGoods?" (yes they had a
building here)
and he sparks up "Yes-s-s. That's who it was. Did you know them?"
and we got onto a conversation
it turns out that MovieGoods moved out of the building as the
proverbial "Thieves in the Night" during the night before they were
about to be served an eviction notice for non-payment of rent
and they left all this shit behind, clearly because it was all shit
fits right in with their known methods of operation

Tom:
Last I heard Moviegoods was sued by, I think, Disney and Fox because they
were printing unlicensed movie posters. They've since folded, though I
understand they have a warehouse in Charlotte, NC. Or at least did, until
recently.
