Re: [MOPO] Yahoo Has Broken MoPo (and all internet mailing lists...)

[lovenoir2]

gmail also seems unaffected, at least for now, as well... or at least on my end.

An interesting assortment, but your opening bid prices are too high
for much of your material. Many of these should be BIN prices.

Re: [MOPO] More Clarification

[lovenoir2]

Speaking of heavyweight items and clarification.

When is there going to be some about the Metropolis 3 sheet? That's
about as heavy hitting an item as one can get, yet clarification about
it (sold? not sold? why has it gone from the MPE site) has yet to be
made.

 Bruce, thank you clarifying.

 Yes - you would be responsible for paying to ship your items to
 MoviePosterExchange.com.  I believe this is standard in the industry.
 Do
 you reimburse people when they ship items to you?  Having never
 consigned
 anything to you I am unaware if you do this.

 Of course, using the figures you provided, even at the lowest end the
 numbers come out very favorable compared to your rates.
 For example you wrote: "So this means that when we sold a $30 poster, we
 would pay MoviePosterExchange a $3 commission, PLUS the approximately
 $11
 shipping. So we would pay $14 to sell a $30 poster. It gets even worse
 the
 lower the price goes. On a $20 poster we would pay $13, and on a $10
 poster
 we would pay $12, for a net LOSS of $2 for every $10 poster we sold!"

  The numbers you have given seem like a bargain compared to the
 consignor who sells a $30 poster on eMovieposter.com
 Where there they would pay a $12 commission and when you add in the
 approximately $11 shipping, they pay $23 to sell a $30 item on
 eMovieposter.com. I am sure it also gets worse as the price gets lower.

  The point being if you have a single $30 item to sell, there are
 probably better options than eMovieposter.com or
 MoviePosterExchange.com.

 And if you have a bunch of $30 items that you would like to dump (and
 don't mind if approximately half of them sell for $14 or less as you
 tell
 us every week), eMovieposter.com might be a good if not great option for
 you.
 MoviePosterExchange is probably not your best bet for this type of
 dumping, we understand and accept this.

 But, if you have higher quality items (either a single piece or a whole
 collection) and you have a fixed price in mind for them, there is not a
 seller that offers better terms than MoviePosterExchange.com

 Take for example an item like the Gimme Shelter one-sheet
 eMoviePoster.com is offering at a fixed price.  If it sold on
 eMovieposter
 for the $264 asking price, you would pay a 28% commission,

You know that this was sold? This would also have made news, as it
possibly would have fetched the highest price for a film poster.

[MOPO] Metropolis 3 sheet listing on MPE

[lovenoir2]

In his latest response, Dave brought up one question that I am sure
have had many who have looked at the MPE site wondering:

What happened to to the Metropolis 3 sheet poster listing and why was
it removed? (Is it no longer available?)

It isn't in the 'Sold Archives' section, so presumably, it hasnt sold
(or has it?)

And best of luck, too, once the auction portion goes live.

Re: [MOPO] Potential Conflict of Interest? Is Gavel-Snipe owned by Heritage?

I found this ownership info, not on the Gavelsnipe.com website (I
looked thru their Terms and Conditions and FAQs--and could find
nothing about who it's corporate owner is on either page), but on a
third party site, called website.informer.com.
Heritage is stated as the owner/registrant.

Re: [MOPO] Poster description

[lovenoir2]

If all someone can provide about an item they are trying to sell is (cut
verbatim):

*"Very Rare nice orignla Gorden Movie poster from the 1930s comes with a
Certificant of Authenicty to be All original"*

I would see huge red flags everywhere. There is an $11K price tag and no
other information is given about a poster incorrectly described, aside from
that one line?

In addition, who or where is this supposed COA coming from? The seller
himself? COA's are worthless, regardless of who the seller is that provides
them.

The typos alone would keep me away.

And he/she wants $350.00 to ship??

Re: [MOPO] Argentina King Kong OS questions

The word printed before ENTERPRISE FILMS is "Presenta."

So that must be the local distributor that handled the later re-release of
the film.

On the ebay ad, there arent even any dimensions given for that poster. It's
Looking more and more like someone got taken here.

What I cant figure out is why a reproduction would have the credits blacked

I just hope that someone didnt get taken for 1200.00, considering that
the ebay poster is missing the credits that the legitimate reissue

Re: [MOPO] continuation: poster values with autographs

[lovenoir2]

If the autograph cannot be authenticated (not meaning a COA that
anyone can create and print), and is a fake, it would bring the
poster's value way down. In looking at the seller's description, he
mentions nothing about where the autograph came from or who obtained
it. He only talks about who the person may have been that it was
inscribed to.

And for many poster collectors, even an authentic signature on a
poster is viewed as a kind of graffiti. So even if genuine, the
signature wouldnt necessarily boost the value, but could drop it as
well.

Ultimately, it would be of more value to a collector who likes posters
or other memorabilia that is signed.

I see, too, that Bruce just sold a backed copy of this OS in December
2011, for 368.00.

Re: [MOPO] Are "boosted" images clever marketing or outright deception?

[lovenoir2]

Rich.

If you construe my question or observations as gripes, then this is
truly fruitless. I was doing nothing of the kind, let me be clear. The
same I guess would apply to those others (on APF) that have asked or
commented on the same thing?

And one wonders why issues get blown out of proportion. Bruce asked
the question. A few have answered, myself included. I have never
griped--but made some observations. Isnt it about a healthy debate? it
is, IMO.

HA has some of the best auctions of this kind of rare material. That
is without question.

And no, I have not yet purchased from HA.

Again, if one cannot ask a question, -- or better yet, reply to the
question asked by another (meaning Bruce's earlier post), then what is
the reason for the forums in the first place?

Re: [MOPO] Are "boosted" images clever marketing or outright deception?

I agree, Steve. As i mentioned earlier, this discussion has also been
going on at APF. If someone wants to boost or enhance images in a book
or on their own site, containing posters in their collection that are
not for sale, that is all well and good.

Items for sale or auction, (and especially high end items) should be
shown as they truly are and appear (even after restoration or
backing). No extra color enhancement should be done to an item.

Ps- Others have expressed similar questions or observations, on other
poster message boards, franc. And isnt the purpose of a forum or
message board supposed to be a place to express opinions, observations
and to be able to ask questions without being jumped on? I wasnt

First of all, quit being and sounding like a bitter, angry old woman all
the time. It is rather tedious.

Second, you said photos taken can appear brown or overexposed, even tho the
real image looks nothing like this. This is True.. if the one taking the
image doesnt know basic photographic skills and cannot judge an image to be
over or under lit (and many dont). James Wong Howe is not needed for
photography 101.

If you want to take photos of that look dark or browned, or so over-exposed
as to be blown out, go right ahead. (this is the comment you made about
images being photographed, without relying on photoshopped exposure
correction, which was NOT the subject of bruce's original question anyhow.
He was asking about image color being boosted or over saturated so as to
look more appealing).  With all due respect, Francis, go back and re-read
the original post.

Third, No one said an insert photo of every ding was necessary. I was
commenting on adjusting the contrast of a light tax stamp that might not be
visible otherwise (ALSO something you made reference to).

Re: [MOPO] Are "boosted" images clever marketing or outright deception?

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. And unless a
description is written in technical, bullet point fashion, pointing out
flaws, dings, rips (as well as it's positive aspects), a photo is 100%
crucial. No one would buy an item with only a paragraph of descriptive text
included.

As far as the comments made about the limitations in photography, you not
right here, Franc. Your example of a raw photo looking washed out or
totally browned would mean the initial photograph was taken (or lit)
incorrectly. A photographer who knows his craft would never turn over an
image such as you described, saying that it can be fixed "in post." And if
they did, it would be the last thing he would shoot, if I had hired him.

If a poster has browned due to age or paper acid content, then show it--
dont artificially lighten it or the borders in photoshop. Many (including
myself), like to see the age and history of an item 70 or 80 years old. Who
wants it to look like it was printed yesterday?

And if there was, for example, a light censor stamp, that was difficult to
see, of course, that area should be a separate detail photo, tweaked with
and adjusted, to best show and see it. That, tho, is not a color boost
issue.

The question posed was regarding images that have been saturated or color
boosted; not how photoshop can best show possible imperfections or details
not seen readily.

Re: [MOPO] Are "boosted" images clever marketing or outright deception?

Hi Bruce,

Yes, I agree, while not all supersize images are the same,  HA's hi
resolution, large images do allow for the viewing of imperfections, tiny
pin holes, smudges etc, wouldn't you agree? They have that process down,
all in all.

And as far as how a poster, WC etc looks upon arrival to one's home. It
certainly had better look as close to the online image as possible. I
couldn't agree with you more on this point, either.

Re: [MOPO] Are "boosted" images clever marketing or outright deception?

Hi Bruce,

First, it's another great testimonial to the service you provide, prior to
anyone bidding or buying (supersize enlargements), although to be fair,
your buyer who wrote you either has never bought from or visited the
Heritage, Cinemasterpieces sites (and now MPE), to name but 3, that offer
the enlarged images on their sites.

That being said, I wonder how much of a response you will get, at least
publicly, with regard to the question you posed about boosted colors being
a good marketing tool or a deceptive practice.

I presented this question on APF when images of the Heritage Berwick
posters began to appear on the HA site, once they had been washed, cleaned
and linen backed. It was (and is) very apparent that HA boosted the color
on many of those posters (to the point where some had the "look" of
oversaturated reprints).

In my comments and question, I repeatedly made mention of taking into
account differences in cameras used, lighting setups (or lack thereof) etc.
Some agreed and also made their own independent comments about this very
subject. Yet there were a handful, saying that NO boosting had been done,
how dare anyone accuse HA of doing such a thing and that kind of talk. No
one was suggesting that HA had committed any crime or murdered a newborn,
for goodness' sake, but that their photo dept had simply boosted and
saturated the poster images...lol

To this day (and that post was a week and a half ago), there has been no
response from HA directly about this color boosting question.

Because you asked for thoughts on this practice, I think that all poster
images should be presented as they actually look, battle scars and all
(unless restored and described as such). To present images of posters that
practically radiate off the page is deceptive, in the sense that they are
not a true representation, especially on high end items like the Berwick
Find. Not everyone can travel to Dallas to look at posters that HA auctions
(Berwick or others for that matter), so presenting an accurate image is
vital.

The clue is that this is a rehearsed skit. Directed from start to
finish. Obvious. Look at the patrons around the restaurant. They are
all acting as if nothing is going on, let alone responding to any real
disdain or discomfort (why? because they had sat thru a few
rehearsals, prior to it being shot)...lol

You seriously thought this was a genuine, candid response from CB

Re: [MOPO] movie posters lost in fire video link

[lovenoir2]

I dont think asking the question is insensitive. When Brek first posted, he
specifically made mention that he did NOT have insurance.

It is a natural follow up question.

No one has condemned him about this, in the least. Most have expressed
support and best of luck, in their same posts.

In addition, no one was *telling* him he should have had insurance.  A
number of members asked.

Big difference.

Re: [MOPO] Oscar Sale Brings in More Than $3 Million

[lovenoir2]

It's too bad the rule about the selling of statues wasnt put into
place until 1950. What a true shame that some of the greatest awards
from films like KANE, GWTW etc as well as to those actors who were in
these films are sitting on private mantles or office shelves where no
one else or the film community can enjoy or have visual access to
them.

A great article and read.

I agree wit this sentiment:

The auction is being condemned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences, which jealously guards ownership of the golden trophies
and use of the name "Oscar."

All 15 statuettes now up for sale were awarded before 1950. After that
date, the academy began requiring winners to sign a contract stating
that neither they nor their heirs would sell the Oscar without first
offering it to the academy for $1.

"The academy, its members and the many film artists and craftspeople
who've won Academy Awards believe strongly that Oscars should be won,
not purchased," said academy spokeswoman Janet Hill in a statement.

"Unfortunately, because our winners agreement wasn't instituted until
1950, we don't have any legal means of stopping the commoditization of
these particular statuettes."

Re: [MOPO] FS: THE BAD SEED

[lovenoir2]

It this an original US release? A foreign retitled re-release?

Is it faded? vibrant? 4 folded? 4 4 4 folded? perhaps even the folded
in the rare 8 fold style?

If it IS a US re-release of the first run in the UK, does that make it original?

Good times.

Re: [MOPO] Another fleabay Moron

[lovenoir2]

Well said, Helmut, and your examples of what it has cost you to both
ship and receive items to Germany certainly shows that the high
shipping prices, discussed by others, DO NOT need to be charged to
clients.

It's simply another way for sellers to line their pockets with
additional cash, especially when no secondary, cheaper shipping
methods are offered.

40.00 to mail a single lobby card to the UK?? THAT is absurd and
beyond unwarranted.

It's no different than the seller in Canada who charges a flat 25.00
(even to the US) to mail what could potentially be a  folded, 99 cent
poster. Outrageous.

Re: [MOPO] It's not just horror movie posters that are forged!

[lovenoir2]

After reading this and a couple other articles about this, along with the
seller, Glafira Rosales, the gallery that sold these works  should be held
100% responsible as well as this Rosales woman. When reding that there was
really no solid paperwork about the provenance of many of these supposed
masterworks, it then falls onto the shoulders of the gallery, famed and
established or not, to verify said works.

Although, from this and other articles, as well, it sounds like verbal
verification, without actual paperwork, can be commonplace, when sold by
large and respected galleries. The point is, even for those high end
galleries, a verbal verification means nothing, when these kinds of
allegations surface. The gallery and this Rosales woman should be sued to
the hilt.

The other red flag, IMO-- the "mysterious, unnamed original owner" of these
works.

It sounds like the original, rich Mexican / Swiss owner was probably
cranking these out in his basement or sun room...lol

Re: [MOPO] Question for Members who sell on EBAY and others who might be interested

[lovenoir2]

While the email sounds way over the top, with the CAPS and all.. i
would guess this person is foreign, based on his sentence structure.

It certainly sounds like he got himself in, and realized he cannot
afford your items.

He has offered to reimburse your listing/relisting fees. It isnt as
tho he has vaporized and left you hanging.

Whatever he bid on and won, you will be able to sell in the future, most likely.

Why not let accept what he has offered and move forward?

Yes, he backed out of the deal. But it isnt as tho he has the items,
claims non receipt of said items AND never paid, or filed a paypal
dispute, like many try and do.

Re: [MOPO] Which is the better poster?

[lovenoir2]

Well said, Rick.

There are definitely some "issues" going on there. Whether it be about
slight fades, slight vibrancy, 4 4 4 folds, folds in quarters etc, it
exemplifies an obsession and chronic condition that is well beyond the
norm.

And 125.00 for a that Profiles in History catalog

Is that catalog rolled or folded? Vibrant or a bit faded? LOL

Re: [MOPO] FS: THE WELL half sheets (BLACK INTEREST & more........

[lovenoir2]

That isnt the case at all. There is no hostility. I presented and
asked simple facts and questions. And what spurred me to post was your
last reply about how aol wouldnt let you upload an image or some such
reason. There are workarounds, such as photobucket or flickr. You also
have the ability and knowledge to upload to ebay.. so to do the other
would be a simple task for you, as well.

There is nothing stupid in asking, either, IMO.

I posted a few simple basic questions, and comments, all of which you
have, once again, even refused to address.

Re: [MOPO] FS: THE WELL half sheets (BLACK INTEREST & more........

[lovenoir2]

I just checked out this listing-- 26 items, of which 16 are various
posters and lobby cards. What is fascinating and yet remains
unanswered, is this:

Why is it that this MOPO member, as a seller, can easily photograph
and upload 26 images of items he is selling, yet when asked to see a
picture of the '4 4 4 4 4 folded' poster that he "was burned on," he
came up with various poor excuses as to why that wasn't possible? One
would think that he had been asked to perform complex brain surgery,
since nothing has been produced or a title even stated.

He obviously can take pictures that are passable, and he knows how to
upload them (and opening a free photobucket or flickr account to
upload to is a piece of cake, as we all know).  So again, we ask, why
was NO image or even a title of that $38.00 poster ever given or
offered to MOPO? Why not open a flickr or similar account and place
the image there for fellow MOPO'ers to see and discuss? What was/is
the hangup with this item. And especially after all of the whining and
complaining he did here about it!

Because that poster remains in shadow, it most likely will end up on a
future ebay listing of his, unknown to unsuspecting, potential buyers.
At that point, though, he will find it easy to snap a quick photograph
of said, 4 4 4 4 folded poster.

Truly unbelievable (and said with no bitter aftertaste).

Re: [MOPO] (no subject) 4 4 4 4

[lovenoir2]

Again, you sidestep and skirt the question.

What is your issue with this?  And over a 38.00 item?

You asked Steve Olson to provide an image or link of his poster. He did gladly.

You are asked, now the 5th or 6th time to do the same.. And, yet, you
continually refuse and outright ignore the query. Folds that able to
be seen or not in the ebay image is not the issue at this point.

What is seemingly becoming apparent is that this poster was NOT as bad
and flawed as you made it out to be. And a photo would show this to be
the case.

This is probably why you refuse to even provide a title.

Yet more sidestepping.

You didnt need to photograph this poster. You could have done a simple
cut and paste of the poster image taken directly from the Ebay ad...
simple. So the seller could have remained anonymous but the image
offered, in the least.

You have not mentioned even the title of this alleged, 4 4 4 4 folded  poster.

Re: [MOPO] (no subject) 4 4 4 4

[lovenoir2]

Bitter? hardly..  just flummoxed at your blatant hypocrisy. Its not
becoming to you or anyone.

First, you place a post is placed with an off topic link, with nothing
more than the words, "Watch this video" written. Period. In the past,
you have also complained about off topic posts to MOPO... so what is
good for one, should be good for another.

Second.. you were the one most "vocal" when telling Steve Olson to
post a picture or link of his (what he thought was an Argentine, and
later learned to be Australian) "Postman Always Rings Twice" poster
and that it would be better for all to see. Yet, you, when asked, in
the same vein, to provide a link or image of this  4 4 4 4 x folded
poster, provided nothing, even when asked several times. All you did
was complain about the seller.

So I am not bitter... i'm simply calling someone to the carpet.

Do not comment, ask or demand of others what you refuse to provide or
do yourself.

Interesting how and why this member posts a link to this piece of crap
video (and how is this video clip in any way related to movie
posters?)

Rear Window?? ok... whatever.

If MOPO recalls, no information was ever given on the seller or
identity of the "4 4 4 4x folded" poster that this member "got burned
on," (even tho he was asked nicely several times)--- and then he
follows up with this garbage?

In the least case, this latest MOPO post should have been marked "OT."

I just looked at this item.

There must be some fanatical GB fans out there LOL.

Someone has bid up to 200.00 for something built and glued together in

Re: [MOPO] Grading

[lovenoir2]

I hope that that Rudy Franchi, who owns the site-- his name is on his
site, so no secret is being divulged here-- (and who is a MOPO member
as well) responds to some of these comments.

Some remarks suggest actions that are less than above board. To call
his service "a ruse" is rather harsh. He has been doing this work for
a long time, and long before he worked and consulted for Heritage, as
his bio page discusses.

She sounded like a very nice and talented lady.. and very selfless in
raising her grandson.

I just read the obit and she passed away back in March.

At least she is remembered well, here on MOPO.

Re: [MOPO] 4 extra folds? 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 extra undisclosed folds

[lovenoir2]

This is hysterical

And amid all this fuss... MOPO received no actual responses  as to how
this buyer "got burned." He must have serious issues as he once again
said:

"had seller been more responsive initially, and more responsible, MOPO
never would have heard about this."

Per his own cut and paste of the correspondence, the seller was
responsive and offered him A FULL REFUND!

Is this buyer playing with a full deck? Or is he just toying with
everyone at MOPO?

And because this buyer obviously refuses to post the link of this
auction, we will never know what the Sellers Return Policy is.

Tisk tisk...LMAO

I agree with this point, John.

But because this buyer chooses to shroud the auction link and/ or the
title in secrecy, no one can read or verify what the seller's Return
Policy was.

That is why I have asked now, several times for the poster auction
info. Remains to be seen.

Re: [MOPO] 4 extra folds? 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 extra undisclosed folds

[lovenoir2]

I think many will find this reply as confusing as the rest ...

How can you say you got burned in this transaction, when the seller
OFFERED YOU A REFUND, once you sent the poster back?

This response makes NO sense.

What it sounds like is that you are choosing to keep it for a period
of time, and then flipping it (wth an added markup, most likely).

You are choosing to keep it. Can you please explain how you "got
burned?" Using this logic, you are opting to burn yourself.

And again-- what is the poster? Please provide a link. Why are you so
secretive about this aspect, on a poster message board?

Fascinating is all I can say.

This buyer who complained so loudly has now gone completely silent and
turned his mute button on. Why?

And with still no links to this incorrectly described (4 4 4 folded)
poster, and no response to those that questioned, criticized and
commented on his premature outburst towards a seller who was/is
willing to work with him-- speaks volumes about this individual's own
integrity and transparency.

I see he also occasionally lists a number of posters for sale on ebay,
with every color in the rainbow used in the descriptive fonts
(psychedelic trip?). Let's just hope that each and every flaw on those
posters have been accurately disclosed. I am willing to bet that there
are small imperfections that have not been seen and therefore, not
disclosed.

And if someone found an undisclosed flaw and wanted to return a
purchased poster to him, would this seller pay for return shipping
and/or take a price reduction decided by the unhappy buyer?

[lovenoir2]

I have to agree with this response. Why would the seller reply to this type
of wishy-washy email?

And who is this buyer to say he will determine some "price adjustment" or
reduction? That certainly would not be this buyer's call to make, in the
first place. As an example - If the seller wanted 30% returned, is this
seller supposed to simply comply? I think not.

It would be the SELLER to possibly offer some reduction amount, if that was
even suggested.

With this buyer coming across as defensive and demanding, when the seller
was nothing but courteous from his first response, shows a real lack of
understanding on the buyer's part.

What is this poster? Please put up an image or a link, showing this
poster. It would certainly help in allowing others on MOPO to see the
undisclosed damage and extra folding of which you speak.

A couple weeks ago, your first post to MOPO about the "Postman Always
Rings Twice" Australia/US poster thread was to ask Steve Olson to
provide an image or at least the link to that auction.

Why have you not offered or provided the very same details you asked of Steve?

Re: [MOPO] 4 extra folds? 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 extra undisclosed folds

[lovenoir2]

You needs to take a breath, write a few less number 4's the next time
and use spell check.

Your first email to this seller mentions "extra folds" over and over.
I'm sure he "got it" the first time.

The seller explained what happened, offered to make you a refund --
yet you went off on him / her a second time with more complaining.

This is a perfect example of how a responsible seller apologies and
offers to make good yet an "off center" buyer does nothing but
continue to complain and threaten to make price reduction demands,
should he decide to keep this "flawed and  4 4 4 4 over-folded"
poster.

At this point, if he opts to keep it, he should get no partial refund,
since the seller offered to refund him, in full, if he was
dissatisfied.

Send the poster back or keep it and quit complaining.

Re: [MOPO] 9/11 Ten Years Later CBS.com

This is the Naudet Brothers documentary.. It has been available on DVD
for years and can also be found online. The opening with DeNiro at the
memorial site is new footage, however, added by CBS.

Re: [MOPO] FORGERY SCAM ALERT

[lovenoir2]

I just found this link;

http://www.albany.com/thingstodo/day-trips/old-forge/

There was (and still is) a Strand Theater that operates there:

"Old Forge is a little town with a huge appreciation for the arts.
Movies, anyone? The old-fashioned Strand Theater originally opened its
doors in 1923 with a single screen and silent movie reels. Today it
continues operating with four screens, and an antique camera and movie
projector collection that provides a rare and nostalgic glimpse into
the early days of movies and television."

At least the seller didnt just make up some theater out of thin air..
how obvious would that be.

Re: [MOPO] QUESTION FOR OUR MORE INTREPID MEMBERS

[lovenoir2]

Famed art director Lyle Wheeler, who worked on EVE ( as well as Gone
With The Wind, Dragon Seed and many others), also could have created
the caricature poster of Davis. It certainly seems plausible and could
be very likely.

Hi Lumi,

Sorry to hear that a health issue had you down for the count.
Certainly a more than valid reason not to be on the computer or

Re: [MOPO] an eBay lobby card purchase - your opinion?

[lovenoir2]

Didn't the originator of the first post indicate that if anyone wanted
the listing or ID of the lobby card seller to email him privately? Why
then would this individual, Evan, take it upon himself to post the
ebay item (and divulge the seller)?

Maybe it's just me, but it is these kind of moves on mopo and other
boards that almost appear to want to incite online bickering or verbal
attacks.

Should the seller have been in touch with Alan? Yes. Should there be
some "adjustment" to the purchase? If Alan wants to send it back, and
the seller agrees, of course, no harm, no foul. Should the verbage on
the card have been specified? Yes.

But all that being said, IMO, Evan had no right to take the initiative
and, in a sense, OUT the seller. Now that we all know who the seller
is, she has 100% feedback, and posts to mopo, as well. Maybe she had
an emergency? Or worse? The auction was completed a little over a week
ago. It isnt as tho weeks have rolled by with no resolve.

I am always curious, too, on these kinds of posts, asking for
"thoughts and opinions" on transactions that have not gone perfectly.
These often appear to be an opportunity to publicly bash others.
Unless the matter is NEVER resolved, why even ask the forum, when the
auction itself only just ended on May 22.

Just my 2¢.

Re: [MOPO] FS: selling June 2011 Profile in History Catalogue & other posters/catalogues

[lovenoir2]

I'm aware that people are sent catalogs for free, based on their past
purchases. I was posing a simple question to the originator of the
post, Michael.

Not sure why this query has you answering for him or causing you to
spit out your drink.

Take a breath and relax.  lol

Re: [MOPO] Foreign Posters in Wrong Category on EBAY

[lovenoir2]

true...

the other thing with miguel is that all of his items are BIN -- never
auction formatted...

so even if you select to filter by "auction only" the same problem
would occur. :(

have to say, it is annoying how he floods both US and the
International categories and the early decades with such a volume
material.

i wonder why he doesnt ever do auction style?

anybody know or ever ask him?

Because this seller is in Spain, a simple, quick work-around is to
check the box on the left that can sort and filter and select "North
America" only. This way, his foreign posters are weeded out of that
listing.

An interesting selection of items. What caught my eye, tho, and what I
had to ask about was the zebra carpet or bedspread that some of the

What's the story behind that? Or do I not want to know? ;)

Looks like some interesting pieces in the group, but your high, 25.00
Economy Shipping fee might shoot you in the foot. There will be some
buyers that may only want one item and will pass because of this.
Just a thought.

Good luck, in any case.

The concept or idea that all buyers check those sites is absurd. If
that were the case, no seller or dealer asking a kings ransom for an
item that was sold for less at heritage or from bruce would not sell.
And many naive buyers would be spared getting burned, had they done
their homework.

Also, the fact that an item sold on either heritage or bruce's site,
in the past for a winning X bid, does NOT mean that that same item may
get that price today. That thinking is also illogical.

Just as you wont pay what you consider outlandish prices for those
half sheets, (and based on your theory that bruce and heritage set the
price parameters) so will no one pay your 1125.00 BIN price for DORIAN
GRAY.

To quote your own line of thought and reasoning: anyone would feel
stupid paying that amount for this one sheet.

Kirby-- from the most recent set of out of touch replies posted, by

Re: [MOPO] poster packaging - 10 years long test

[lovenoir2]

To pay 600.00 and look at a packing tube, and not even check its
contents to make sure it arrived undamaged, or to make sure it was
even in there, for a decade, makes Zero sense.

This comment alone struck me:

"Over the years, I would look at the shipping container you provided
and wonder what the poster looked like,
but I never opened it, because I thought it would be better protected
in its shipping tube."

He would LOOK and WONDER what the poster looked like? Wondered?

This title is nothing special and just because this seller sites Bruce

As is known, certain dealers rely on and hope to find those, who are

Re: [MOPO] Silent Film Posters on EBAY

[lovenoir2]

Looks like some nice items.

as has been discused here before tho, just because a poster is from the
1920's (or the 1930s--as the previous thread referenced), does not mean they
are worth 350 -500+ dollars. Unknown or lesser known titles do not garner
higher prices, simply because they are posters for silent films.

Those high opening bids will hinder many from bidding. As far as the BW half
sheets with the opening bid of 99.00, those high opening bid amounts will
also cause potential buyers to move on. I recall glenn t's question, a
couple weeks ago about whether a linen backed stone litho one sheet he was
selling on ebay, and priced at an opening bid of 99.00 was reasonable. he
got more than a few lesser responses to that inquiry.

my 2¢.

Re: [MOPO] the end of the workld, and magnetic field- Posters doomed.

[lovenoir2]

I just checked and their website seems to be still up and running in a
healthy way.. able to place orders, an 800# etc.

http://www.moviegoods.com/

this is the same company that "fled" in the still of the night, that
was discussed a few days ago, correct?
and if so, does that mean these shysters are still making available
and selling their crap?

Re: [MOPO] FS: SNOW WHITE herald 1938 - $60

[lovenoir2]

This poster is a 1975 reissue.. as stated.. but why do you claim it to
be a rarer reissue? Nowhere in your description do you explain why
that is.

Your opinion simply stating it as rare doesnt make it so.

What makes this a more scarce item?

thanks.

Re: [MOPO] FS: QUESTION ABOUT BRUCE BOOKS & MY EBAY SALE LIST

[lovenoir2]

Wouldn't it make more sense for people interested in Bruce's books to
buy from him directly, rather than a third party? Discounted or not,
they still must be more than what Bruce is selling them for, correct?
Otherwise, it's a money loss situation for this seller.

Was curious. Thanks.

Re: [MOPO] Does anybody really want this Mexican shi**t

[lovenoir2]

If the lobby cards were such an "albatross" then why did you even
bother to buy a few thousand of them @ 2 bucks a piece, all those
years ago? from your current opinion, it seems like a total waste of
approx. $6K.

 what so radically changed your mind, in the mean time? i mean, i can
see if you bought a hundred or so, to see how well they moved. But a
few thousand?? So something about them must have caught your eye, to
spend that kind of money.

I'm curious-- why now, do you say these cards are nothing but sh*t?

Re: [MOPO] Noir?---314 titles, and counting...

[lovenoir2]

I certainly wasnt meaning you to list prices of your entire
inventory..simply the ones you post here from time to time. when you post a
list of a certain number of items here on MOPO and you take the time to
include an inventory number, the number of cards in a set (if indicated)
etc, it would be easy to hit the space bar and include a price, in the last
column.

to do that would be simple enough.

or do this.. leave out the inventory number, and swap it for a price column.

problem solved.
