Re: [MOPO] SHOW OF HANDS -- bogus list STAR WARS Orig 1977 One Sheet Style A ONLY OS WITH HILDEBRANDT ART LOOK!

Kirby,   Well, that's the point of asking for a show of hands... to poll public opinion on this marketing technique which Rick has been using more and more often of late on this list.  I'm sorry to be so blunt, but *anyone* -- no matter how long he's been in business or how many posters he's sold -- who pushes an FA onto this list that says (in big print if you receive in HTML format):   STAR WARS Orig 1977 Style A OS HILDEBRANDT ART! LOOK   ...BUT FAILS to mention that it is the Spanish version... well, with all due respect, that person is in fact behaving like a jerk in my purely personal and as-usual-incredibly-humble opinion.   I used to buy from Rick Ryan as well, years ago, before he started pulling this stunt on a regular basis. I got tired of him wasting my time enticing me to look at posters that I wanted but which I have no interest in buying in a foreign-language version.   -- JR  ----- Original Message ----- From: Kirby McDaniel To: JR Cc: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2006 15:59 Subject: Re: [MOPO] SHOW OF HANDS -- bogus list STAR WARS Orig 1977 One Sheet Style A ONLY OS WITH HILDEBRANDT ART LOOK! Rick Ryan is not a jerk.  I've bought many things from him.  He's not trying to sucker anyone here.  I can look at his listings and see if what he's listing is Spanish language or an Australian daybill.  Maybe he could say Spanish language in a subheading, but toning down the rhetoric here would be helpful.

Let's see how many people -- when suckered into looking at a foreign-language poster because the seller deliberately avoided mentioning that part in his FA ad to this list -- do NOT say "Oh, I'm so glad I was tricked into looking at this... I think I'll bid on it right now!" but DO say "I'm going to avoid looking at this jerk's listings in the future?"   -- JR   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2006 0:19 Subject: [MOPO] FA STAR WARS Orig 1977 One Sheet Style A ONLY OS WITH HILDEBRANDT ART LOOK!
