Re: [MOPO] wanted: FORBIDDEN PLANET us 1sh

[Susan Heim]

I'm with Randy.............as a seller you are entitled to ask whatever you want for your poster. The buyer has the choice to decline.  If someone didn't want to sell for $7500 they could have kept their poster. I have many clients that are looking for high end posters and don't have the time or inclination to sit on ebay or call around and do the work required to obtain those posters. They have the choice to say no if the price is too high, but if that price suits them, then why shouldn't Dave make a commission. What about the guy that bought the Frankenstein for $500 in a Pennsylvania farm auction and turned it over for $198,000. Talk about appreciation!  More power to Dave.   Sue Heim www.hollywoodposterframes.com (800) 463-2994 ----- Original Message ----- From: Randall Petersen To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 3:17 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] wanted: FORBIDDEN PLANET us 1sh What I don't understand is why Dave L is being singled out for a comment like this.  I see major dealers asking for specific pieces all the time here.  Do you folks think that they're buying them for their personal collections?  That they're not going to immediately mark them up from whatever they pay and sell them at a profit to someone else?  This seems like business as usual for most dealers so I don't how Dave is any different, only that he's doing it more publicly on ebay while others may be playing the same game with private sales.
