I've known about this site for some time as well as others there is one that charges $1 it starts at retail and every time you bid, it goes down a quarter or something, but they charge you 60 cents and you have to be Johnny-on-the-spot for the final bid that brings it to $1 or something like t

but, but, but, That sounds like a fair offer for someone who is a dealer and buying to re-sell. The next one might only go for $300 or less or may go $500 or more. I am sure Bruce would take one on consignment as well and if I had 5, I would keep one, consign one, and hold Bruce to the $30

Bruce (if that's who you really are), I'm going to suggest you avoid vacations in the future. You are a workaholic and so vacations are not healthy for you. They clearly impair your critical judgment. C'mon... you couldn't possibly have been serious when you said "I think this is one of the co

But, but, but... You do realize that $150 is closer to $20 than to $486. You seem to be suggesting that this bidder paid more than 3 times what this poster was worth. Evan - Original Message - From: "Bruce Hershenson" To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 7:45

Forget the idea that this was a $20 poster! I think this is one of the coolest posters ever. If someone out there has one in nice shape they will sell for $150, I will take it. And to prove how great I think it is, I will pay $300 for three of them, if they are out there! Bruce On Fri, Aug 14,

Alan, I frankly think the whole "can't be any folded originals" is utter nonsense let loose on the world by that David Lynch poster site.  I've had at least one with rock solid credentials that was rolled (thick letter type).  The thin letter type available from David Lynch.com were rolled, and

I would be reasonably cautious about any unfolded copies. We got several of these over time from sources -- all of whom had access to the non-theatrical distributors and who played ERASERHEAD originally -- mostly at colleges' and universities' film programs -- and all were folded. It was,
