Hey Everybody:

Since there's always a nice discussion going on about the bad dealers out there, I thought I'd offer a little tip...

When looking over one of Loce's auctions, there's a simple way to separate the fakes from the originals: check the price.

For instance, check out this auction:

<http://cgi.ebay.com/MUD-HONEY-MOVIE-POSTER-65-RUSS-MEYER-LINEN-RARE_W0QQitemZ320175760261QQihZ011QQcategoryZ60331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem>http://cgi.ebay.com/MUD-HONEY-MOVIE-POSTER-65-RUSS-MEYER-LINEN-RARE_W0QQitemZ320175760261QQihZ011QQcategoryZ60331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
(#320175760261)

Fair market value:  $500-1,000
Loce's price:  $3,000
Verdict:  Likely real

Then, check out this auction:

<http://cgi.ebay.com/WINGS-OF-DESIRE-ORIG-MOVIE-POSTER-WIM-WENDERS-1988_W0QQitemZ7620688289QQihZ012QQcategoryZ60333QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem>http://cgi.ebay.com/WINGS-OF-DESIRE-ORIG-MOVIE-POSTER-WIM-WENDERS-1988_W0QQitemZ7620688289QQihZ012QQcategoryZ60333QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
(#7620688289)

Fair market value:  $100-200
Loce's price:  $60
Verdict:  Likely not real

Simple. No need to check the authenticity at all. Just look at the price, not the poster...

Cheers,

Bob
