The situation is that Rossi offered me an expensive group of posters. We came to an agreed price & he asked me to wire him a large payment (almost $10,000) up front. I did. He told me he had received it & would ship the posters the next day. Several days went by without a tracking # or any communication. I then found out that he had continued to shop the group. He ended up getting a better price & it took me a lot of grief & over a month to get most (but not all) of my money back.
That's the story.
Best, Sam
Sam has been around for a long time and has a good rep, so I'm not saying that is the case here -- I would guess he had a very good reason for posting a public warning -- but the problem I have with this kind of general, non-specific warning is that without the details how do we know what happened and if the complaint is genuine or if there is just a grudge or a feud being carried on? Without details, it is could be just rumor and innuendo... how can you know? For a public warning to be truly effective, it should contain the details. If nothing else, it warns others exactly what to look out for. -- JR

To all movie poster dealers & collectors,,
I wanted to warn everybody in the movie poster world about a dishonest Italian dealer that I had a very bad experience with. His name is Gian Maria Rossi. I won't bore anyone with all the details but he (and his father) are liars and not to be trusted. I will be happy to give anyone the specifics but if you hear from him, run the other way as fast as you can.
I do want to thank the Italian and other dealer's who helped me deal with this mess. Some have had similarly unpleasant experiences with these people and I really appreciate their assistance. -- Regards,
Sam Sarowitz
