Re: [MOPO] Movie Posters AvaialbleHi David,
The posters that I am offering and that will be on the new website are not
primarily posters from my own collection. For the past 30 years I have bought
collections and put them away. You know, "the kid that was an usher in a movie
theater through high school", "the family that owned a chain of drive-in
theaters for twenty five years", "collector friends that were retiring and
selling off their collections", etc. I have accumulated a pretty large
inventory that way and have duplicates on many titles.
To be honest, as I get older, it is a bit overwhelming and I need to thin
down the list as my insurance is off the charts. I don't keep any of that
inventory at my framing warehouse so keeping track of everything is time
consuming.
I did want to mention, though, that I'm not selling these off at bargain
basement prices. The prices will be fair but the email offer for my mint
condition "Forbidden Planet" one sheet of $1000 tops was a bit unnerving. It's
not for sale anyway, well unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse!! I
have been around this hobby for 35+ years so I've picked up a bit of
information.
Anyway, I did come in this morning to about 20 calls on my answering
machine and about 35 want lists in my inbox. I promise I will get to you one by
one. Unfortunately, I have to work also (darn those pesky frame orders!!), so
going through the poster list and writing everyone back will take me a few
days. Thank you all for your positive support.
Sue

Sue,
You've talked about selling off your poster collection in the past--when you
retire. Say it ain't so!

Hello all,
So many of you have been framing customers of mine for many years. Most
of you have always asked me if I ever open up my own inventory of original
movie posters for sale to please let you know immediately. I have currently
been working on a poster website while also updating my framing website to
include all the different sizes I now offer and other custom information. What
that has lead to is an updated inventory sheet of posters I have in stock. I
had promised so many of you over the years that I would let you know if and
when I was ever going to do this so that you might have first option on titles.
So, before I go public with the website, I wanted to let you know that if you
have a want list please send it to me.
My inventory includes all sizes of posters from the silents to about the
late 80's including many of the most sought after titles. Everything from
Chaplin to Star Wars. I have already told many of my local customers just this
past week and they have already reserved and bought quite a bit. But I have
multiples of thousands of titles.
Since I can't list all of the posters in inventory on the website, I will
initially be putting up a list of titles of across the board genres to
represent a wide range of collecting interests. I will try to update that list
each week but, to be honest, I am so busy with framing, photographing posters
and listing them is a time consuming task and I might not be able to do it
weekly. I do have all good intentions. It will probably be about 2-3 months
before the poster website will even be up. I have been photographing in the
evening after work, but it is time consuming as many of you know.
So, please send me your want list or call me directly. I would be happy
to provide you with photographs and condition reports of the posters you are
looking for. It may take me a bit to answer all the emails. Thank you, and for
those not interested, thank you for letting me take the time on the MoPo group.
It is difficult for me to remember everyone that I have talked to about this in
the past.
