so here it comes.. I get an email from a local auction house that
they have more than 1000 posters that they'll be selling this
weekend. they found my site & wondered if I wanted to come take a look.
so I go down there & they bring me and & they have stacks of 40x60s
on these tables broken down to groups of 40 or 50 each and some piles
of reproductions too
so I go through them and from the start it's pretty clear it's crap.
I mean, I don't think I saw a $30 poster. The best stuff was third
rate horror from the 70s. I did however notice that there was tape
over the ratings boxes, which of course meant these posters had come
down from Canada
so I'm finished looking and I go into the office & sit down, talk to
the guy for a while. I tel;l him it's mostly drek and clearly had
been creamed at some point in it's past.
he says "well I don't think so. or at least not where the posters
were as the place was pretty small and I don't thin they had room to
do that with these posters (we all know of course, that if we had to
cream a collection in a 5x5 area, we could)"
so he continues
"yeah.. these guys did a 'midnight move'. They pulled out all their
reproduction equipment in the middle of the night & left this stuff behind"
and I perk up and I say "reproduction equipment?? You mean MOVIEGOODS!!!"
and he says "yeah, I think that was the name of the place....."
-------------
too funny!!! MovieGoods did a midnight move & screwed the landlord
(who is now selling this stuff)
too too funny..
ps.. I don't expect to be bidding.. anyone who may want to, email me
