[MOPO] MOPO- dealing with dealers and suppliers by Old Tom

2022-07-19 Thread Tom Martin

so you are a dealer ora collector??? or both

I just told my ink supplier some of my war stories.. as I've made some 
Blunders but also some hit it out ofthepark evenifit was dumb luck
butthelessons I learned was to treat each therewith respect,,,only one 
dealer ever pushed my freak out button and many other knew him as 
Greg..he wanted buyable the posters of a title I had I guess thinking 
would. corner the market,,he would Burp on trephine talk rude 
etc...whati realized was they was just lonely lost a ton of moneyed was 
sad...his parrot even flew the coop//so I justtryed to treat him kind 
but he really pushed it



see many dealers get ego trips..one guy wanted to be therefor poster 
king and putlotsof money into great posterreprintsand a FULL color 
catalog..I only did tabloid 2 color black and red.. but we printed 
10.000 a run and had to mail them\wven with 1.00 asking we barely 
covered the postage but we got a 30% response rate I was told was 
great...grocery stores that do 3 million are happy with a 3% returns 
what impressed me mostofother dealers was kindness and care..like 
Richard danilovitch in Boston..always was kind...and Randy in Cleveland 
was always very prompting did good work..actually taught me how to pack 
roll of 50 rolled posters,,and so many more like Movie gallery in east 
meadow New York Marty lifshultz..I went to his shop one year as well as 
Randyand a few in NYC..


all were kind helpful...I also did trades with Canada...england, 
Germany.and Germany would send me 199s ofposteron credit  what trust 
eh??


I miss my friends from toehold days some passed and some just 
retired..but all have ben good memories.. like the women of mono,,like 
Nathalie, Toochis, Shelly whitworth, Sue and Andrea Kanter, and Lumi.and 
more


when we answer email or phone call its simply respect and I remember how 
Bruce, andEd Poole and others like Jim Episale and others called me just 
to say hello.
with all the technology inseams impossible to not reply without least a 
answer//but I offer free to anyone help to network them and get places 
to sell their wares as manned money forefoot orrentor gas..so I tell 
them how to lookout history on eBay toes what items are selling fororsay 
look at bruce or learn about posters..
as so many dontwant to get lowballed onthieritems.. I get it when was 
down I just wanted honesty


so heres whet I do..I say yes you have some great items as many say they 
have 100s ofthesame title -so they disrespect your passion 
andyouritems... I also say hey look here are the other dealers give them 
a callas maybe they will offer you more


as I tell my son there is always more stuff, people die, estates are all 
overandmany just want declutter..also many just want a few but as they 
are oldeirand want clear it out so the family does notgeta huge mess... 
that show I feel..andmy son is who I will leave my treasure to.


but some guys just are greedy and take advantageofthe weak its been 
since biblical days the same..
But when you help the weak,old, and ignorant its really the best way 
because the joy they get is so much more then the joy you get ripping 
off the elderly or mentally ill, depressed or those in need..


as far as if they are a alcoholic or add person or ocd.. I tried my best 
to tell them spend the money on food and home not collectibles yet I was 
a addict myself,,when would Get a call for projectors I said im like a 
homeless puppy shelter and I saw the benefit of saving themas I could 
fix the simple repairsfnd replace lamps..but as my eyes started to 
fail..I saw even for free I needed to turn them away,,people were 
saddened,,but just kept getting more and more...I think have like 40 and 
they are not worth much but the shipping is costly so I sell them as is 
even if they workbed the people get great disappointment when the item 
is not in perfect condition and works


my biggest sals came from Warner bro, universal, Disney and  music 
land.suncoast/oncue


I credit it from giving good customer service
I think around 1990 was when did some great deals..I offered a free 
repair on my clocks if they ever failed so one day woman called and said 
out clock stopped..I said no problem return it..andillfix it free..she 
did and I returned,,then thephone rang,,it was her again I said dont 
tell me my repaired one failed?? she said no my boss was so impressed 
with your serce we want to order 5000 of your clocks for the paramount 
home video release of the Addams family..59k order!!!


then I was at a trade show in Chicago the nation alpremium show

and another womaan came up to the booth and was looking my clocks...I 
start give my pitch she says you can stop I've heard all about you and 
was with HBO Warner bros..she said would liketoorder 15,000 for Robert 
Deniros BROX tale..they also ordered clapboard clocks for Guilty 
bysumspcion another Deniro film
we also did 3000 paramount movie award clocks for Planes trains and 
automobiles..

2022-07-19 Thread Tom Martin

 so Tommy got the ink sample from the INK co.

its water based white titanium and should be able tp print clapboards as 
I have boards, clock parts and Tommy could run with the biz as he's only 
35


so what miracle as the company notified me.. since my divorce in 2000 I 
did few jobs of my products button 2007 Arnold Schwarzenegger orders the 
Clapboards to give away while he was Governor of California..


it helped on payments my new house I bought 2007

Its funny lowlife throws curve balls

so today am themas company came to door said we are ready to install new 
meter. was happy as had my fridge break mac die..the waterline get broke



so after they were done last night I crawled down  into basement..they 
forgot put ceiling tiles backhand also the insulation..so this am they 
came back and buttoned it up

 so thankful


I also got new modem and a phone that for the deaf called Clear 
caption..it is free fromgovernmentand allows you to make calls VOIP>free 
off the internet
it has a screen so you see what theotheris saying,,because cants well 
also its like a hybrid..so I kinda hear kinda seeLOL:)


maybe next is small signals
also the gas guy Lit a match to make sure I had updraft in the flu
it set off my smoke alarm..so now we know both work...LOL:)

nonstop fun eh

so I gave my 2006 Toyota Matrix car to my son Tommy and somehow he lost 
the passenger hubcap...


I decided to order him a new one..wel used one\
I found a place in Cleveland online for used one//^
61.00 postpaid for OEM  wow !!!
sticker shock for me..but my OCD addd personality wanted son to have it 
in good shape.



anyways I have no clue what I am doing or where im going but I trust 
there is a purpose that God knows


the new modem is awesome and the man was from Jamaica that installed it
my old one was like from 2007!

regarding my obsolete life
I always say thank god I'm not inthefresh produce business as my items 
can't help but get better as I've been doing this movie stuff since 1977


so its very funny
my 70s posters are now considered vintage,,,and the80s stuffs perfect 
timing


the 20s 30s 4050 movie magazines appeal tomany


so its kinda funny how this all works...as  im clueless...but I feel the 
spirits and pioneers ofHollywood..approve


I think I could be Forrest Gump  part two. :)

peace and love
