[MOPO] FA: Will 555 folded one-sheets REALLY sell at auction for $5 or under? The jury is still out, but YOU have the chance for great bargains with 13 hours left!
Three times *EVERY *week we auction hundreds of items that sell for low, low prices (we actually sell lots and lots of items for $1 and $2, and around half of all that we auction goes for $14 and under, and our leading 'competitor *NEVER* auctions a single item for less than *FIFTEEN DOLLARS*, due to their *outrageous* $14 minimum buyers premium). But Tuesday night's* *999 folded one-sheets, closing tonight, on the *8th of June*, represent *REALLY* incredible values, and that includes a lot of cool posters of all eras, and yet many of these are currently languishing at low, low, prices! With just 13 hours to go, the 999 folded one-sheets include a staggering 227 that are still languishing at just $1 each (and many of these are *FULL* * SETS*, so they are at 12 cents per card!), a silly 315 that are $2 each and under, a wacky 441 that are $3 each and under, and a mind-boggling 555 that are $5 each and under! *THAT'S RIGHT, OVER HALF OF THE ITEMS ARE $5 EACH OR UNDER, and there are LOTS of titles that I guarantee you many dealers would ask $20, $30 or more for. This is the closest thing to free money I can imagine!* *HELLO! This is 2010, and I doubt you could have purchased many of these one-sheets for $5 or under 20 years ago, and remember that this price is ONE THIRD of the minimum buying price at those other auctions (thanks to their ludicrous $14 buyers premiums)! And you can get as many of these items as you want sent in one package anywhere in the U.S. for just $10 shipping for all (or actual cost anywhere else), EVEN IF you win 100 or more! And if you are in our e-mail club (over 6,200 members), you get great added bonuses if you purchase 10 or 15 or 20 items (no matter how inexpensive)!* * * Of course, once you get *OVER* just $5, you start hitting lots and lots of better titles, but an awful lot of those are currently at *VERY*reasonable prices, far under what some of them have sold for in the past (the ones we can find any record of selling in the past!) including: 3t419 HARD DAY'S NIGHT 1sh '64 great image of The Beatles, rock roll classic! 3t868 STRIP TEASE GIRL 1sh '52 art of glamorous Tempest Storm other sensational beauties! 3t001 CEILING ZERO 1sh '35 James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, June Travis, directed by Howard Hawks 3t209 CUBBY BEAR 1sh '33 creepy cartoon characters from Aesop's fables! 3t007 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY 70mm style A 1sh '68 Stanley Kubrick, art of space wheel by Bob McCall! 3t388 GRADUATE int'l 1sh '68 classic image of Dustin Hoffman Anne Bancroft's sexy leg! 3t712 PLANET OF THE APES 1sh '68 Charlton Heston, classic sci-fi, cool image of caged humans! 3t316 FORBIDDEN STREET 1sh '49 great close up art of Dana Andrews sexy Maureen O'Hara! 3t923 TIME MACHINE 1sh '60 H.G.

Re: [MOPO] Lawrence of Arabia Oscars WC arrives in s*** condition.
I guess we all have our shipping horror stories. I received another 1 sheet in a Christmas wrapping paper tube. Hope that's not becoming a common practice. Window cards do tend to be packed very poorly because of their size, and they are easily damaged when packed cheaply. Sometimes an Ebay seller surprises me how well they pack WC's, but most times they are packed as cheap as possible. (The professional poster sellers on Ebay are not a problem as far as packing goes.) The worst packed I've ever seen was the 1/2 sheet I received in a small envelope. The poster had been folded to 1/8's to get it in the envelope. A 50 year old poster totally destroyed.

I have a stack of unused window cards. No great titles - probably all in the $10-$35 range. Certainly no LAWRENCE's but a few thing that colelctots might like. Of course unless they are very thin, and many w/cs are not, the only safe way to ship a w/c is flat, because they are almost impossible to roll tight enough without using a very wide diameter tube to avoid paper crinkle. And if you are using a gorilla tube, then that's about the same weight as boards that size and suitable strength.. which means that postage on such an item seems ludicrous - esp. if it's to the other side of the world. And so the eBay shipping cost nazis come out of their cells. Now with something like LAWRENCE here, or indeed any title that someone REALLY wants to arrive in pristine shape, even say a NIGHT THEY RAIDED MINSKY'S or similar value title, and are willing to pay the extra, and tell the seller etc etc, and this turns up, then it's time to see red.

[MOPO] For Sale: Bargain priced Lawrence Roadshow WC
I have on original roadshow 'camel style' window card for LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. The poster has a single fold, and is overall in great condition. That is, it WAS in great condition, until the previous (US-based) owner decided to have it framed, and the frame shop morons spray- glued the poster to the backing board. Now every professional restorer should be able to take it off the backing board, but I don't want to bother with it right now. Special offer to Mopo members: $500 plus actual shipping costs. (Must ship flat, US shipping would be $45, less in Europe.) Images upon request. Cheers, Helmut Galerie filmposter.net Inh.

Re: [MOPO] Lawrence of Arabia Oscars WC arrives in s*** condition.
You want a worst-packing description - I'll give you a worst packing description. A middle-grade auction house with no experience in posters (yes, I know I should have been wary) had a movie poster auction a few years ago. Most of the items were uttterly unremarkable but there were a few of passing interest and I duly submitted my maximum bids and waited to see what would happen. I won three lots at precisely my maximum bid - quite the coincidence. Two items had to be sent flat and were packed quite well, however the Bullitt 1-sheet was tightly rolled into a flimsy (I could crush it with my little finger) tube about 1.5 in diameter. Bad enough you might think, but the kicker was the tube was about 6 too short so the packer got a second. equivalent tube to cover the exposed 6, squeezed the open end of the first tube into the second piece so the combined length now covered the poster, then used a stapler to hold the two pieces of tube together. Since the poster was right next to the area where the tube pieces overlapped the multiple staples went right through the tube and into the poster, and since the poster was so tightly rolled each staple made about eight holes. The poster was probably in quite good condition before being sent, but on arrival it had multiple crush marks and more perforations than a tea bag.

Re: [MOPO] Lawrence of Arabia Oscars WC arrives in s*** condition.
I will see your worst packing description, and raise you THIS: A couple months ago, I received a poster from an eBay seller in Italy (icetrap72: all I can say is beware); it was an Italian 2-fogli, so it's roughly 39x55. The seller's ad on eBay pictured the poster with a single vertical fold down the middle, and three horizontal folds, as is standard for these. The price of the poster was close to US$125, with shipping. I actually already owned this particular poster, but was hoping to upgrade to one in better condition, which this appeared to be. The seller (who sells posters on eBay regularly, though not in huge numbers) shipped it wrapped (from Italy to the US) in .. wait for it .. GIFTWRAP. No cardboard, no protection, just wrapped in a single layer of paper that was thinner than the paper the poster itself was printed on. (Of course, the flimsy giftwrap paper was torn on arrival here in California, exposing the poster itself, which was of course also torn). And, to add insult to injury, presumably to save on giftwrap, he had folded the poster an additional time or two prior to shipping it (so it arrived with THREE vertical folds instead of one)! (Or, possibly, it had always been tri-folded, but the poster he had pictured in his ad was a different specimen.actually, I suspect that's closer to the truth.) Needless to say, after getting no response to my complaints from the seller (should have checked his feedback before bidding, as it was lousy), I went through eBay's claims process, which surprisingly worked very smoothly. I shipped the poster back, and got my $$ refunded by eBay, less my costs of return postage (though, to Italy, those costs were substantial, because in order to claim a refund you have to do the return shipment in a manner that provides delivery confirmation). He's probably sold the poster four more times by now. _ Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010 12:55:32 -0400 From: chun...@umaryland.edu Subject: Re: [MOPO] Lawrence of Arabia Oscars WC arrives in s*** condition.

Re: [MOPO] Lawrence of Arabia Oscars WC arrives in s*** condition.
In addition to posters I collect plaster statues (most around 18 inches in height) of celebrities. i have around 400 including most movies stars of the 30', 40's and 50's. I once bought Abbott and Costello from a seller whose place was 30 miles from me. When the box came everything inside was rattling so I knew I did not own two perfect statues. Each was in a supermarket paper bag with no protection. They were both smashed to pieces. When I called the seller and asked why he did not protect them with bubble wrap this was his answer: They were only going 30 miles. I told him that the way the shipping companies toss the boxes they would not have lasted 30 feet. In any case, I got my money back and bought a perfect pair from another seller. These statues go well on a shelf below one's favorite posters, which is how I got started. You can find them on ebay by searching ESCO. If you would like to see them, email me.

Two items had to be sent flat and were packed quite well, however the Bullitt 1-sheet was tightly rolled into a flimsy (I could crush it with my little finger) tube about 1.5 in diameter. Bad enough you might think, but the kicker was the tube was about 6 too short so the packer got a second. equivalent tube to cover the exposed 6, squeezed the open end of the first tube into the second piece so the combined length now covered the poster, then used a stapler to hold the two pieces of tube together. Since the poster was right next to the area where the tube pieces overlapped the multiple staples went right through the tube and into the poster, and since the poster was so tightly rolled each staple made about eight holes. The poster was probably in quite good condition before being sent, but on arrival it had multiple crush marks and more perforations than a tea bag.

Re: [MOPO] Cinevent news review...
Dave nothing remarkable really went on went there.. bought lots of stuff to sell, sold a few things, had dinner with Cory Glaberson and my ex-wife (she always comes up for dinner from Cincinnati), saw lots of friends, showed my Universal Frankencard (yes I took Bride of Haggard, printed it out, adhered it to a sanded 1935 lobby card back and got lots of laughs. It's still for sale at $25,000 if anyone wants to add this beauty to their collection). But it was just a regular show with no big news. I had fun.. I just wish I could have bought more!!

The seller’s ad on eBay pictured the poster with a single vertical fold down the middle, and three horizontal folds, as is standard for these. The price of the poster was close to US$125, with shipping. I actually already owned this particular poster, but was hoping to upgrade to one in better condition, which this appeared to be. The seller (who sells posters on eBay regularly, though not in huge numbers) shipped it wrapped (from Italy to the US) in …. wait for it …. GIFTWRAP. No cardboard, no protection, just wrapped in a single layer of paper that was thinner than the paper the poster itself was printed on. (Of course, the flimsy giftwrap paper was torn on arrival here in California, exposing the poster itself, which was of course also torn). And, to add insult to injury, presumably to save on giftwrap, he had folded the poster an additional time or two prior to shipping it (so it arrived with THREE vertical folds instead of one)! (Or, possibly, it had always been tri-folded, but the poster he had pictured in his ad was a different specimen…actually, I suspect that’s closer to the truth.)

[MOPO] The death of civility
Tom, I've experienced the same. And worse, most of the time the person you hold the door open for does not even say thank you (or say anything for that matter). When I'm in the line at the store checkout, if I've got a lot of items in my cart and someone comes up behind me holding just one or two items in their hand I will wave them to go in front of me saying something like go ahead, if that's all you're getting. Now, absolutely *everyone* always takes me up on the offer to cut ahead, but only about 2 out of 10 ever say thank you (or anything). We have raised several generations who don't act civil because they were never trained as kids about the basic concept of civility or common courtesy. So when they run into it in real life, they don't even have enough social consciousness to make a simple thank you acknowledgment Not hard to understand what these generations don't have a clue as to how to be civil online. -- JR Tom A.

[MOPO] Auction irrationality
This seems to be the nature of the perverse beast that is Ebay. I've been buying a lot of old plastic model kits lately on Ebay (a new nostalgia binge for me) and I noticed something very much like what you describe: 1) There are a bunch of brick-and-mortar hobby shops that now sell online via ebay. They often sell a lot of their model kits as Buy It Now items... sometimes with reasonable BIN prices and sometimes not. 2) Many of these same model kits will be also be listed by other sellers as regular auctions at the same time, often with 99 cent starting bids. Now here's the weird part: 9 out of 10 times, if there's any bidding interest in the model kit at all, the auction will get bid up to *way* over what it can be bought for at any time as a Buy It Now (!)... it's like the bidders don't even know the Buy It Now items are out there (although of course, they turn up on the list with the regular auctions when you run a keyword search). So, what the heck? The bidders are often paying 2 or 3 times as much for an old plastic model kit at auction than they could have bought the *exact* same item on Ebay with a Buy It Now purchase! It must drive the regular sellers crazy. Plus, as you said, there's a kind of random nature to what people pay for something at auction. I have seen the same model kit sell at auction from 3 different sellers close the same day at 3 slightly different times... with the descriptions, pictures and shipping charges for all 3 being virtually identical. And yet one of the auctions goes for practically nothing, another goes for a ridiculously high price, and the third goes for about what it should have (not necessarily in that order).

Re: [MOPO] The death of civility
Actually, I've had the just the opposite experience. I've often had good experiences with other people both at the post office and when loading in at shows. In fact, I often went to New York City for shows and even there found that people were helpful when you are struggling with a cart full of posters. When Morris Everett had his show at the Hotel Pennsylvannia there were a set of double doors that always were a challenge to get through. I remember many times when total stranger - new york strangers to boot - would hold one of the doors and help me get my cart through. I go to about 45 shows a year and we go to the post office every week and never have any of these problems. People are usually polite and helpful. I can't believe I am just lucky. Maybe trends work in both directions at the same time.

Great catalogue, and the gratis copy received means they actually pay attention to who talks to who in this business. John is correct - it's a great mix of material and is full of fascinating info.
