*After 30 years of auctioning "anything" and "everything", six years ago, we at eMoviePoster.com <https://emovieposter.com/> made the decision to STOP auctioning low value items, and to ONLY auction items that realistically sell for $30 or more and we also went from EVERY week auctions to EVERY OTHER WEEK auctions!Those changes allowed us to go from around 135,000 auctions each year to around 75,000 the next two years (2020 and 2021). Then, midway through 2022, we raised the minimum again, to ONLY auction items that realistically sell for $50 or more and we also went from EVERY OTHER WEEK auctions to EVERY FOUR WEEK auctions!Those changes allowed us to go from around 75,000 auctions each year to around 45,000 the past 3 years (2023, 2024, and 2025).But we also had a warehouse of old consignments to deal with (truckloads brought to us from dealers closing down) that we had been working on auctioning for many years). We are steadily working through all those old consignments (almost all of what is left is solely "bulk lot" items), and we do around 5 or 6 bulk lot auctions a year.But we make it very clear to all new consignors to only send $50+ items (in nice condition, $100+ in lesser condition), and the day is looming when we WILL only auction $50+ items at the very least (but they will still start at $1 with no reserves or buyers premiums).Look at this chart.Year Total Sales Auctions Price per auction2025 $5,767,588 43,167 $1342024 $5,689,164 45,693 $1252023 $5,965,865 47,753 $1252022 $6,262,147 59,963 $1042021 $6,753,825 78,492 $ 862020 $6,136,707 77,690 $ 792019 $5,775,367 128,929 $ 452018 $5,620,232 139,979 $ 402017 $5,623,241 140,611 $ 402016 $4,978,994 139,414 $ 362015 $5,232,266 127,890 $ 412014 $4,873,011 128,668 $ 382013 $5,155,677 120,392 $ 432012 $4,063,947 110,201 $ 372011 $3,559,290 104,082 $ 342010 $3,327,967 93,575 $ 362009 $3,265,319 86,806 $ 382008 $3,093,417 59,690 $ 522007 $2,896,429 44,873 $ 652006 $2,205,033 37,958 $ 582005 $2,507,699 39,066 $ 642004 $2,905,842 47,506 $ 612003 $2,121,397 39,816 $ 532002 $1,883,756 30,852 $ 61So while this raising our minimums the past 3 years may SEEM to be a new policy, actually it is just us returning to the policy we originally had from 2002 to 2007. And when you consider the massive real inflation over the past 20 years, $134 per auction in 2023 is probably actually LESS than $64 was in 2005.And there are two giant side benefits to this shift in policy. The first is that being far more selective in what we accept has allowed us to keep staying completely catch up on ALL single sale consignments, meaning new consignments sent to us go to auction VERY quickly.And the second is that most of the bidders LOVE this "new" eMoviePoster.com <https://emovieposter.com/> because with so much better quality overall, they now look over ALL the auctions each time, because so much of it is of interest.SO WHAT ARE OUR CURRENT MINIMUMS FOR CONSIGNING? we no longer accept ANY consignments that have a realistic auction value of under $50, and those must be SOLIDLY in OUR "very good" condition (or better). If they are in "good to very good" condition or under they must have a realistic auction value of at least $100.And if the posters are linenbacked, they must have a realistic auction value of at least $100 , if they are well backed, but if they are NOT well backed (or were damaged after backing), they must have a realistic auction value of at least $200.If YOU have items that meet the above minimums, why not head over to https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign <https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign> and read our "no fine print" terms, and learn how you can join the 3,488 others who have consigned $126 million of items to us!*
