TOTALLY- PLOTS , ETC, ARE A WASTE OF TIME!? If you're into the film or star or director you know the info already! And if you just like the poster you don't care!
ave ? You may do this but it is a waste of time.?? People who buy posters of value are fully aware of these facts.? People who buy inexpensive posters are buying posters for movies they have seen. ? Anything about the movies is a diversion away from the description of the poster which should be detailed and significant.? Sellers should spend the time signifying details of the description and taking better pictures.? ? I assure you that the use of?less words and better pictures and details, will give you much better sales and prices.? ? Claude ? In a message dated 1/10/2009 2:39:49 P.M.

When adjectives are on occasion inserted?in the headings,? or extra time is spent explaining why a director is significant,? what make a certain, sci-fi film unique over many of the others,? why James Whale counts,? or Edgar Ulmer,? or?why a film is crime and not noir, as a seller,? I try and excite and educate new enthusiasts to the fold with information,? along with accurate descriptions of the specific?piece offered and listed in the proper category. ? If we?sellers only?had to depend on crusty, tired, curmudgeons and harpees of the hobby who only? pay fleeced and bleached prices? why bother with Ebay.? They are all on Mopo............ ? ?
