Oh PLEEEEEZE! An attorney?!!! What a putz!
So let me get this straight, if this guy were twelve he'd sick his
dad on you, but NOW
he's an adult, so rather than admitting any wrongdoing...he's gonna
sick his attorney
on you.
Run for the hills, Sue! You've illegally shined a light on
someone's questionable tactics and
I only know a few things that are afraid of the light.
But wait...what I'm not getting here, is if money's no object, why
isn't this dude on a beach somewhere
with an umbrella in a refreshing beverage rather than fretting and
whining and stressing about underselling
Sue by a dollar for an insert frame?! Apparently the old adage that
'the truth hurts' is proving once again to be true.
Sheesh, how tiny does this guy's one sheet have to be to make such
threats? Like you said,
if anything you said isn't true, come online and talk about it
openly, you know, like mature folks aim to do.
Unless he's a'scurred to face the MoPo firing squad.
Then again, if he had a brain in his head he'd realize that a highly
reputable person like Sue won't hurt him half as
much as the impending demise of Ebay.

Hi Sean,
I really appreciate the comments. I have been a member of this
group for many years. I am longtime movie poster collector who
happens to make custom frames. Most of you have known me for a long
time. You have read the articles I write for this hobby. You have
read the responses I make to questions or comments from the group.
I would hope that you see me as a fair person. First and
foremost, I am a movie poster collecting member of this group who
happens to have knowledge of preservation of paper. I have acquired
that knowledge from almost 30 years of experience and research. My
comments about that company were a combination of information that
is direct from their website, from customers that have bought
frames from them and from my own personal experiences with them.
All comments regarding my own experiences with them are truthful.
So, after my response post to you, I was contacted by someone who
represented themselves as Wholesale Poster Frames' attorney,
threatening to "sue me and put me out of business". They inquired
if I was aware who their owner was and, just to inform me, that
money was no object, that he had been told to put me out of
business at any cost. In actuality, the person who contacted me is
listed at www.bbb.org as the owner of Wholesale Poster Frames, so
perhaps he is an attorney also or he and his attorney share the
same name. Whatever the case may be, my comments were as stated in
the listing.."read before you buy". As a member of MoPo, I happen
to also be a business owner. However, as a member of the group, I
am sharing my personal experiences with this company.
My post was in response to your comments that an Archival frame
with UV filtered plexiglass was being offered and I was pointing
out that, nowhere on their website did they say they were offering
an "archival frame with UV filtered plexiglass". So, that was the
gist of my original post.
It would seem they are either members of our MoPo group or have
someone on the group they know. Why not join the group and respond
to my comments if they find them false. That would seem the fair
thing to do and they would be able to respond to all of you and
state their case regarding their frames.
As I have said many times on this group and in all the articles
I write, it doesn't matter to me where you buy your custom frames,
just always ask for genuine 1/8" thick UV filtered plexiglass and
Artcare museum backing. That will preserve your posters. As
consumers, you are free to buy wherever you want and I appreciate
competition. It makes things more interesting. Just when comparing,
make sure you are comparing apples to apples. That's it.
Happy Collecting,
Sue

Hi Sue,
I had no idea about their prior history, and thanks for the post to
set everything straight.
In general; competition is good, and I doubt you would mind the
mention of another reputable framer even if you do set the industry
standard (perhaps Glen would prefer it if we also only mention one
poster dealer from now on), but that is a far cry from the apparent
leeches this company appears to be and I apologize for mentioning
them.
The Courts have been very aggressive against cyber-squatters and I
would think you have a very clear case against this company if you
chose to go that route to protect yourself (not to mention damages
against your reputation/goodwill).
For the record, my pride and joy Dracula one-sheet sits in a Sue
Heim frame, and I wouldn’t dream of it any other way.
Sean
