Know You Never Will
Glenn,
An Ebay buyer with a zero rating buys a poster or a lobby card from an Ebay
dealer . The transaction is paid for and the poster or lobby card is sent.
The dealer receives an e-mail back I thought I was buying a DVD.

Of course there is! There's Dolemite Part 2, THE HUMAN TORNADO:

From around 4 years ago to around 8 years ago I bought a HUGE amount of
items on eBay. If I saw a pressbook I didn't have (not that often), or any
funky poster where I thought I could re-auction it in my own auctions and
make a few pennies, I bid on it, figuring that many of those I bought from
Maybe something to do with the number of professional sellers and experienced
collectors who sell that have left has simply weighted the ratio lower to the
lowest common denominator? And that can be very low indeed.

Bruce, I think you have just been unlucky.
I'm happy with over 90% of the posters I buy on ebay.

Dear Bruce;
It's not just you, and it's not just movie posters... it's been the
same for 'monster magazines' for as long as I can remember... since the CGC,
I no longer have to be concerned about condition when upgrading, however I
can't help but recall your disliking of Professional

This is my biggest pet peeve regarding eBay.
I've seen experienced sellers who don't know how to pack a 70 year old item.
Forgetting the price they charge for shipping a simple item, you'd think they'd
want to make sure, something that's lasted this long, would arrive unscathed.
ohand I forgot to mention...I love sniping.
I wish you had it on your site. Your auctions end too early for me (I'm
usually busy wrapping up the workday around that time) so I usually forget to
monitor them at the end so I often miss out!

Yeah, it's that 10%which turn out to be highly-crafted fakes that really bother me (and other collectors).
Rumor is that there will soon be an authentication service to help nip this very growing problem in the bud.

Hmmm... one thing I've noticed about these #1 poster choices is that
almost all of them are for *very old* posters. Is that because MOPO is
filled with oldsters whose tastes were formed way back when or is it
because the old posters were, as a rule, simply much better-looking and
evocative
Thief of Bagdad was an un-named choice by me
why does Richie want these silent films instead of more common films??
simple, I saw both Siegfried and ToB on PBS in NYC as a kid when they
did Saturday silents.
I think Anna May Wong is super-boffo

It's human nature, to try to squeeze out the best possible description
on an item you are selling and unless the seller really holds himself to
a consistently high standard, that tendency can easily get out of hand.
Hey, just stop by a used car lot and talk with a salesman... But, Bruce,

The worst part of the buyer that Franc refers to is that they just don't seem
to acknowledge that THEY are the one who made the mistake. I even had one in
the past that not only didn't think he made a mistake or didn't read the text
but said that 8x10 movie still photos are the most ridiculous
Worse yet. Even though I gave someone a full refund excluding shipping, they
gave me a negative feedback because they ordered a DVD, not a picture as
they put it. FRANC

yeah I've gotten this emailed to me a few times until I stopped
selling on fleaBay
I think I got it one time from an MPB sale 2-3 years ago
so yeah.
There are so many that it is hard to choose. I made a choice with Chain
Gang, but I had a top 50 poster list posted a few years ago and it was
roughly 80% pre-1940 and I still missed 50-100 great posters from the era.
I do like a few later posters, though. On the Beach, Style B is a quite
nice
OK, my choice besides German 20s Classics and early Universal horror, which
are mostly out of reach, and to jump some decades forward, is the HORROR OF
DRACULA Quad (and 2 other Hammer horror Quads that I'm missing) and some
outstanding exploitation posters which I collect (was the underbidder
1 2Monkeys advance really is a sweet poster

that poster is a 1960s re-issue

The age of the choices may be at least partly because it wasn't just
number 1 poster you wish you could own, but the one you know you
never will.
Has to be remarkably rare/non-existent, and/or astronomically highly
priced for a poster collector to take such a negative attitude, surely?
Do other people here mostly known as 'dealers' also have a private
collection, or some posters they would never (or better 'currently') offer
for sale? (Sam, John Hazelton, Rich, Phil, Kirby, Tony, Grey Smith etc).
I can't understand how anyone who sells can't be a collector first

I decided to put items on IOffer because they had a great feature that would
just pull over and copy the items I already had in my ebay store. So I move
1200 items to IOffer with no sales or offers until 5 days ago when I sold an
autographed 8x10 Jerry Lewis Movie photo from You're Never Too
There's certainly some people that are but blind to a title/star, although some
sites lump DVDs in with all movie memorabilia and/or potential buyers don't
bother to filter beyond that.
If one can have a favourite negative on eBay, ours would be: I ORDERED A DVD

Both posters are housed in the Austrian National Museum/Bibliothek Film
Poster Collection and shown in the catalog that was published for the
1998 UFA Poster Exhibition. I wish they could produce such an
exhibition again showing posters from Faust, Dr. Mabuse, Metropolis,
Frau in Mond, Spione

It is not well printed and colours are not good. I have other original posters
