I, too, would never do this. I almost got burned from someone, who claimed they needed a Gene Autry poster for their father's birthday and said they would Western Union the payment the next day. She sounded so sincere on the phone that I must have momentarily lost my mind and packaged up the poster and dropped it off at the post office. Luckily, I had made a mistake and shorted the postage and it was returned to me about a week later. I never received the Western Union payment, and all my calls to the person who ordered it went unanswered. I was lucky, since this was a scam and I was delighted when the post office unexpectedly returned the poster marked "Postage Due". The Gene Autry poster now hangs in my desert home, a few blocks from Gene Autry Trail.

I've explained that they need to pay for it and if they aren't happy, I will refund their money upon return in the same condition. Luckily, I've beenaround for awhile and people know me. For anyone that isn't willing to do that, then I would rather hold onto the poster than risk losing it...………..Sue From: Philipp Kainbacher <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2019 1:37 AM To: Susan Heim Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sending a poster pre-payment I would never send a poster without payment to anyone besides heritage or Bruce! I agree Sue! Why should I send a poster to anyone else?

It was so near the holidays and she was leaving town to go to her parents for Xmas the next day. So we agreed she would put the check in the mail that day and I would ship her the poster to her parents address. She had bought from me before so I trusted her. It was a beautiful Young Frankenstein 40x60. I never received the check and all my attempts to call or contact her (before the day of emails and the internet) went unanswered. Thatwas my lesson and I've never done it again...….Sue - Hollywood Poster Frames From: MoPo List <[email protected]> on behalf of Philipp Kainbacher <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 25, 2019 9:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] wanted BLUE HAWAII US ONE SHEET If anyone asked me for a want item and then I should send this item without receiving payment first....then ....i never did that ever...if I send it for an auction yes but not a private sale....any thoughts?
