[MOPO] For Freeman, John, Earl, Ben and others
Please don't fret about not being invited to list your wares with the thousand of repros flodding eBay. I would like to personally invite you all to list for FREE on www.MoviePosterExchange.com. You will never have to worry about your movie posters being lost in a sea of reproductions, magnets, or whatever as there is nothing else but vintage original movie posters listed for sale (and auction). Pay only a 10% commission when you sell and never worry about listing fees again. Come list with a company that cares about both it's sellers and buyers. List some lobby cards for auction this weekend and take adavantage of the people coming to see our lobby cards spectacular, or list some items for fixed price and see if you can get some reasonable offers and sales. Don't be bound by eBay - a company that apparently cares nothing for you. Come support other like-minded collectors and where people are looking every day for nothing but authentic original movie posters. www.MoviePosterExchange.com Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
EBAY USER ID: silky_buddha We got the invite and are selling original movie art Star Wars items. We do not sell cheap repro reprints. We sell only original art -- well, we do have copies, but these are copies made by the production and are vintage, production used art work. Our prices are less than what prop store sells art for -- i.e., an original pen, ink marker concept sketch of Judge Hershey (in her Judge's uniform, with Lawblaster) sold for $89. That's screen used, original concept art which, at commercial movie prop/memorabilia sites, sells for over $400. We have Giger signed art. Not up, but to be listed, original art by Chris Foss for Flash Gordon... original storyboards concept art by Alex Tavolouris, the first concept artist hired by Lucas for Star Wars... All original, not cheap repro... Of course, we had other items, like the British Quad Star Wars which --- got STOLEN -- anyone remember this story Missing Quad probably was sold by Heritage, but since we got 2 of each poster, our other Quad remains for ebay auction... Plus, a lot of high end items have sold at a BIN auction within 30 minutes of listing. Some within 5 minutes of listing. Of course, the 50K items does not apply to us because we are selling vintage items and end up paying UK listing fees anyway. There's no free lunch -- or at least, legal free lunches.

Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
I am waiting for eBay to offer to *PAY *sellers to list items, and even then I would have to think long and hard about listing there. I know some people love it, but it is not my cup of tea. They have added so many anti-seller rules that I would be petrified after every sale, both that I might be scammed out of my poster, and that the buying might leave bad feedback for me and restrict my account.

Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings
I really believe it all has to do with how much money you're pulling in for eBay. A few months ago, when my numbers went south, they started nailing me with B.S. that had never happened before. If you make them their money, they'll leave you alone and give you the perks...if you don't... then axe comes down. Bunch of mealy-mouthed scoundrels as far as I'm concerned. They don't give a good goddam if you have 12,000 positive feedbacks and rate 100%...once the sales slump off, they go for the throat...

Didn't realize you had any past experience with MoviePosterExchange, but I am glad to see your are keeping an open mind. Good luck with your continued auctions with the mealy-mouthed scoundrels. I can see why you continue to sell there, it's always nice to give more support to faceless companies that don't care about you, your products, or the hobby. -Original Message- From: Rix Posterz [mailto:rixpost...@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 09:20 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings Man, everybody wants to put a plug in for their site.

A few months ago, when my numbers went south, they started nailing me with B.S. that had never happened before. If you make them their money, they'll leave you alone and give you the perks...if you don't... then axe comes down. Bunch of mealy-mouthed scoundrels as far as I'm concerned. They don't give a good goddam if you have 12,000 positive feedbacks and rate 100%...once the sales slump off, they go for the throat...

I know some people love it, but it is not my cup of tea. They have added so many anti-seller rules that I would be petrified after every sale, both that I might be scammed out of my poster, and that the buying might leave bad feedback for me and restrict my account.

We do not sell cheap repro reprints. We sell only original art -- well, we do have copies, but these are copies made by the production and are vintage, production used art work. Our prices are less than what prop store sells art for -- i.e., an original pen, ink marker concept sketch of Judge Hershey (in her Judge's uniform, with Lawblaster) sold for $89. That's screen used, original concept art which, at commercial movie prop/memorabilia sites, sells for over $400. We have Giger signed art. Not up, but to be listed, original art by Chris Foss for Flash Gordon... original storyboards concept art by Alex Tavolouris, the first concept artist hired by Lucas for Star Wars... All original, not cheap repro... Of course, we had other items, like the British Quad Star Wars which --- got STOLEN -- anyone remember this story Missing Quad probably was sold by Heritage, but since we got 2 of each poster, our other Quad remains for ebay auction... Plus, a lot of high end items have sold at a BIN auction within 30 minutes of listing. Some within 5 minutes of listing. Of course, the 50K items does not apply to us because we are selling vintage items and end up paying UK listing fees anyway. There's no free lunch -- or at least, legal free lunches.

This has resulted in some sellers flooding the site with cheap repros and reprints. The crazy thing is that the offer has been sent by invitation only and it seems to have been done at random. Store sellers are not eligible so anyone who has a store would be seeing a big drop in sales while this promotion is on. Just curious as to whether any MoPo members received the invitation to list 50,000 items on auction.
