Grey,
I bought quite a few posters for my collection earlier this year, so
I was really back and forth about bidding on the door panels or not.
Then again, I ALWAYS wanted these, so fortunately, I eventually
decided to go for them. Looking back, I would have hated myself to
see them go to someone else for $2,500!
I was indeed willing to go MUCH higher on these, still, I actually
didn't expect to win them at all.
I watched the auction in the front of the computer and I must admit,
I was simply stunned when I realized I had won them with just a
single bid...

Helmut,
Thank you for your response here.
I am assuming that your bid was the low end of what you thought you
would pay or were willing to pay, was it not?
Many if not most of our bidders know this to be true of Heritage
Auctions.

Bruce,
I hear what you're saying, BUT... In this case, I know both last
year's consignor and last year's bidder, and the deal was 100%
legit. (I wouldn't have revealed the information
if hadn't been completely sure about the background story.)
Plus, individual door panels show up occasionally, but they are
usually in rather bad shape (take a look at your own sales
records), and it's almost impossible to find a complete set,
especially in such great condition. (Knowing where they come from,
I also know that they were in excellent shape before backing.)
It's just something I never thought I'd own. (And while I would
have paid more, it wasn't even near 7G.)

What do you think it means when an item "sells" for $7,100 in one
auction and then the exact same item sells to you for $2,600 at the
same auction company the following year? Did the buyer of the item
re-sell it immediately at a massive loss? Why would anyone do that?
Did he never pay for it, so it reverted to the auction house? Was
there an original consignor who got paid for the $7,100 "sale", or
did that "sale" get cancelled?
Whatever the answers, I guess that person's massive loss is your
great gain, so congratulations!

I consider myself extremely lucky after this auction: Fortunately,
there was hardly any interest in PLANET OF THE APES this time, so I
could fill the last two MAJOR gaps in
my personal POTA collection:
I could add the complete set of advance subway posters (I was the
only bidding at $2,000). There are a few of these sets around, so
I somewhat expected to win this.
Also, they had the complete set of POTA door panels, all in great
condition. I believe that this is the same set that sold at
Heritage for about $7,100 last year.
In the meantime they were linenbacked but nevertheless, there was
hardly any interest, so I got them for $2,600 hammer price (about
$3,100 all in).
Now these are probably not the prettiest posters you can find, but
for me it closes the last major gap in my Apes collection, and the
price was FAR from my maximum, so I'm one happy camper right now!
You will see these (along with the other POTA posters I own) in the
GALLERY section of my website sometime in the near future!

you've bid on the wrong items! Seriously, there is a definite shift
in collection taste. I noticed that the Ossessione fotobusta set
did not sell for a $300 opening bid. Just two years ago they were
making 3 or 4 times that price easily.
I am the happy winner of a Thief Of Bagdad onesheet in very fine
condition for $365 including BPM. A year or two ago I bid $1200 for
a similar( or the same )one at Bruce's without a chance of winning it.
On the other hand the halfsheet (indeed best poster for this title)
for The Killer Shrews already notched up $400 before I could even
click the bid button and this poster was not in the best condition
by all means.
One thing's for sure, by the time I wanna sell my posters off,
they're probably not in fashion.
