Re: [MOPO] Fake "King Kong" on eBay

Hi Alan,

Yeah, those crooks are belligerent, aren't they? But as I hit "Send" on the eBay report, my imagination conjured some nasty piece of work named Chuey looking over my shoulder going "Dooglass, joo KNOW what we do to sneetches!!!"


A passing brain fart from my checkered past. I feel like an upstanding citizen who has done the Right Thing. I also feel like eBay will probably do absolutely nothing...but I will slip into the slumber of the righteous tonight.

By the way, my wife has approval of all posters that go into shared living areas. Lugosi's "The Invisible Ghost" passed muster and I'm so glad; it's my favorite poster in my collection and my favorite Lugosi image. She also loves "Virgin Sacrifice". "Such gorgeous colors", she said. I hactually ave approval to have it linen backed.

My office, on the other hand, looks like Times Square circa 1959.

Best,

Greg Douglass

Hey Greg.. this is a bit reminiscent of some thing I encountered recently…  over the many years that I’ve been collecting my wife, kind of runs, hot and cold, more cold about me buying Posters… However, as I am now nearing the end of what I want to collect she tries to be helpful… I don’t participate in social media, Facebook, etc. but she does… The other day I was telling her what things I’m looking forward to finish off the collection… I guess she was receptive cause one of the things I mentioned was I was looking for the Spanish one sheet for the red shoes so she said let me try Facebook… And I said you’re wasting your time but she did and somebody got back to her and said oh I have that so my wife, after all these years is a bit savvy she says, can you tell me what the poster measures, and what does it say on the bottom or sides of the poster and the guy said it measures 27 x 40… My wife said well you have some sort of reproduction that’s not the original Spanish poster and the guy got fairly belligerent and said, what makes you think you know that it’s not an original I assure you it is… Anyway, I encourage her not to respond further … anyway hope all the mopoers  had a healthy and happy Labor Day weekend..best to all Alan

There's a guy attempting to sell an obviously fake 1938R "one sheet" on eBay for 45K. The borders are conveniently cut off "by the former owners to fit into a frame". The dimensions positively scream "PORTAL F**king PUBLICATIONS".

I realize that no one in their right minds is going to lay down 45 large for such a wretched piece of porpoise puke but rather than waste my time contacting the seller...who is obviously delusional and probably dangerous...I contacted eBay security.

What made me so angry was the guy's belief in other people's stupidity. If you're going to cheat people, at least do it credibly. Nothing pisses me off worse than a crappy con man.

[MOPO] Your VERY LAST chance to consign to our 24th Annual Halloween Auction!

2023-09-08 Thread Bruce Hershenson 
*This is your VERY LAST chance to consign to eMoviePoster.com's 24th Annual
Halloween Auction! You MUST send your items no later than Monday the 11th.
Why not assemble what you have over the weekend and get it shipped on
Monday?Why consign to us rather than to other auctions? Because we charge
far less than ANY other major auction, at every price level (and if anyone
tries to tell you otherwise, they are not telling you the truth!).
See https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign#intro
 for absolute
proof of this!AND you should consign to us instead of ANYWHERE else because
we get higher prices overall than any other auction, when you compare
“apples to apples and oranges to oranges” (and we have no buyers premiums
either).We have 33 years of experience (and over 67,906 past buyers and
active registered users, and 3,167 previous consignors) to prove that we
treat ALL our consignors (and all our bidders) the way you want to be
treated, with TRUE customer service every step of the way.We have averaged
over 6.3 million dollars of sales the past 3 years (and every sale was a
REAL sale, to a real bidder). Why consign anywhere else when you can
consign to the best auction there is?All consignments for this special
auction must be on their way to us no later than September 11th! If you
have horror/sci-fi items to consign to our Halloween auction, NOW is the
time to do so.We want great items of any size or type, as long as they are
solidly (and realistically) worth at least $30 each.See LOTS of preview
items
here: https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign_major#2023halloween
We
have no “fine print” in our consignment terms, and we have only happy
consignors, bidders, and buyers, because we always say exactly what we will
do, & we always do exactly what we say we will!We wish EVERY other auction
house could say the same, but sadly that just isn't true. There is only one
eMoviePoster.com!*
