Hi from Joe Bonelli in New Orleans--- " ilovenola2 " on Movie Poster Bid and
" slicksteve1943 " on Ebay.
Movie Poster Bid is still relatively new and building. It is very much a quality site and is still small enough to be policed for misuse by would-be unscrupulous sellers. Richie who runs it is a nice and helpful (if quite busy) guy.
Believe me the price is right to list and the potential is great. Movie Poster Bid will never grow if those of us who buy and sell, even casually like me and presumably you, do not participate.
So come on in. You might sell some and you might not.
But you certainly won't move any posters unless you give it a try.
Enjoy.
Joe

I've got a few questions about movieposterbid.com. I hope I'm not out of line by airing anything publicly as I'm still very new to this list and only recently reentering some sort of poster community. I'm a collector from some time ago before ebay was a vapor in a pez collector's mind. Shortly after online auctions took over I took a long break. Recently I've been considering liquidating or at least reducing most of my collection and those of you that sent me responses to my consignement question don't feel ignored I simply have enough posters that I want to go slow and make sure I make the right choice. I did look into selling personally on ebay but I was concerned that the time commitment and my personal hectic schedule would be a problem because while I love the idea of throwing a few up and letting the market decide and then working things out with the seller is kind of nice, ebay seems like such a crapshoot full of scammers and lowballers that I don't feel I have the time for it.So I was sent a couple e-mails about considering MoviePosterBid.com. They were friendly and short and I've been checking into the site. The disheartening thing is I'm seeing good quality posters there and virtually no bids. Is everyone bidding at the last minute? Is this kind of variety and title quality really sitting unviewed for days? When I first heard of it it seemed like an SAT analogy Movie Collector's World is to BigReel as MoviePosterBid.com is to Ebay. But what I'm sadly observing as a veteran turned outsider is that Movie Collector's World is alive if not well and BigReel is in a sad state and that MoviePosterBid.com on the surface doesn't seem to do much business and Ebay is an online skimmers delite.Basically I'm interested in MoviePosterBid. I feel the lower pressure world of poster minded individual to poster minded individual that got me collecting in the past is what I'm looking for. But if for some reason a collector's interest auction site can't make it I'm not sure a specific interest auction site can.In it's own funny way when it comes to my collection I think I would enjoy liquidating down to 15 or so posters and then having the thrill of rebuilding again. I would think interested individuals would be more mouthy as they once were. I've seen many adds for auctions in my brief time back and very few want adds, maybe the whole dynamic really has changed. There was a time that there were a great deal of Paid for want adds in Movie Collector's World. I haven't been a subscriver to MPW for some time so perhaps things have changed again. I've got so many fond memories of doing everything in my power to seek out posters that I wanted, but now it feels as if many collectors aren't vocalizing and it seems strange. Is it really a matter of why ask for today what some unknown might auction tomorrow? Again, I'm re-new and perhaps some of you have shouted for titles until you were blue in the face and I've missed it. But I know there are a lot of subscribers and very few "I would like to buy" posts while it seems they would be more common. I also know concepts that make sense to me like MoviePosterBid.com don't seem to have a lot of movie poster bids on the surface. So what's the deal? All last minute? Not much interest? Gauging interest..Ron
