*FIVE DAYS AGO, WE SENT ALL OUR REGISTERED USERS AN EMAILTHAT INCLUDED THE
FOLLOWING:1) https://www.auctionanything.com/
<https://www.auctionanything.com/> is upgrading their software for better
loading speed, and for better viewing on mobile devices2) THE BIDDING
PORTION OF OUR SITE WILL BE "DOWN" FOR 4 TO 8 HOURS VERY LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT TO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING TO UPLOAD THE ABOVE UPGRADE3) When the
https://www.auctionanything.com/ <https://www.auctionanything.com/> bidding
portion of our site comes back online Friday morning, the individual
auctions will look "different" but those are planned cosmetic changes and
our site has NOT been "hacked"!HERE IS AN UPDATE ON WHERE THINGS NOW
STAND:AuctionAnything ended up taking 2 days to complete their update,.
with the auctions returning online Saturday. We very much apologize for
this, although it was completely out of our control. WHY do we use a third
party to host our auctions, rather than hosting them ourselves?Because this
means that we (unlike EVERY other major auction) can't see the "secret"
maximum bids our bidders place on our auctions (but every other auction
can). THIS is why, when you enter a supposed secret high maximum bid on so
many other auctions, somehow another bidder "magically" bids to just under
your maximum.This never happens in our auctions, because they are hosted by
a third party, so we can't see what you bid (and besides, we would never do
this anyway, because we want only 100% honest auctions!). A few years ago,
AuctionAnything.com <https://auctionanything.com> added a mobile version of
their auctions, for the ever-growing number of people who access the
auctions through their cel phones. Over that time they had to maintain two
completely separate versions of the same site, which was time-consuming and
costly.Now Auction Anything has consolidated the two versions into one,
which means that our auctions have a really new look. This is now in place,
and, if you have not done so already, please go to our current auctions
(see them all at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html
<https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html> ) and click on any
auction, and you will quickly see the differences.At first, the auctions
seem very different. But honestly, the changes are purely cosmetic. Some
things are in slightly different places, and some are different colors, but
pretty much everything that was there is still there! And behind the
scenes, the auctions will load far faster than before, which is a big
plus.There is one significant change, and that is that the "bid box" is now
near the top of the page, right below the time left area (which is more
prominent and green). This is very good for people who bid on lots of
items, because it means they won't have to scroll down past the movie
description and condition description to get to the bid box, saving them a
lot of time.But because bidders will have only the condition grade above
the bid box and NOT the condition description, some may not look closely at
the condition BEFORE placing their bid, and then regret their bid, and if
this happens a lot, we may have to move the bid box back to the bottom of
the page. Time will tell!We also created a new logo for our home page (see
below for a screenshot of how it will display once we make it live), and
will make other changes to it as well over the coming weeks. ALL OF THIS IS
OUR EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE SITE, MAKE OUR AUCTIONS LOAD FASTER, AND STAY THE
#1 ONLINE AUCTION SITE THERE IS!IMPORTANT! This changeover will surely have
some "hiccups" and if you find any problem with the new "look" of the
auctions, let us know, so we can get it fixed. And please give yourself a
chance to get used to them, because we feel sure you will soon get used to
them, and like the quicker loading and the more conveniently placed bid
box!To sum up:1) https://www.auctionanything.com/
<https://www.auctionanything.com/> upgraded their software for better
loading speed, and for better viewing on mobile devices. The auctions were
supposed to be offline for 4 to 6 hours, but it ended up lasting 2 days,
and we apologize, but they returned online Saturday.2) Our auctions have a
really new look!See them at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html

changes and our site has NOT been "hacked"!Please give yourself a chance to
