So to get the timeline correct:
1. Rudy suckers you into sending posters to Heritage 2. Heritage gets the posters, send you an inventory list and you think stuff is missing 3. Heritage sells posters that aren't on the inventory list, sends you a check for $11K for at least one of them, and then doesn't sell other items that are on the list. 4. You are so mad about the missing items you decide to pack up another box of posters to send to Heritage without telling them and without making an inventory 5. Several months later you are mad because they didn't tell you about the package you never told them was coming. 6. You argue about #2 and #5 for a while 7. Heritage says they sent you back everything they have. 8. You say they didn't. -----Original Message----- From: Geraldine Kudaka [mailto:gkud...@rocketmail.com] Sent: Monday, June 4, 2012 09:15 AM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] Rudy Franchi Rudy, this list is not just for dealers. There are a lot of people who lurk here who are interested in movie posters. They are not professional dealers in the business. Some may be non-poster business people interested in selling off collections acquired from either a lifetime of working in the industry, or inherited them from dad, who passed on. This is also a public list which non-subscribers go to for archived information on how to sell their posters.. As a noted movie poster expert, these uninformed sellers need to know that you will encourage them to send their collections "post vite" to Heritage. You will not tell them that they need to protect themselves by doing a photographic inventory and log of their posters before sending to Heritage. You will not warn them that Heritage's inventory process is suspect and their software probably some home-user Access-like database program. (Here, I'm referring to security differences between programs like Quicken and true business accounting software which do not allow you to change entries without leaving a trail.) You will not tell them that heritage will not return posters they do not sell. You will simply funnel them to Heritage -- for your commission. For this reason - among others - an esteemed seller on this list posted a wish that you were dead... Need I remind you I defended you? This was before I sat down and went though our Heritage file and discovered what was really going on. This was before I went online and found that Heritage has been accused by others for stealing items submitted for consignment. Last -- if you think you have spent "a huge amount of time" on this issue, get real. Suggesting we comply with Heritage's offer of selling without commission fees is certainly not an email that takes a lot of time to write. After Grey threatened us with legal action, we have spent far more money on attorney's fees than you have... That's a hard financial cost on top of the value of posters sent to Heritage. While I appreciate your suggestion we go bankrupt "sueing everybody involved", I will decline your advice. In the start, I said this list is not just for dealers. My emails are for the lurking public, now and in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------ From: rudy franchi <r...@nostalgia.com> To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, June 1, 2012 10:41 AM Subject: [MOPO] Reply To Geraldine It seems that I can't post to MOPO without Geraldine popping out like a cuckoo bird on a spring. This has gone beyond rational discussion. I've spent a huge amount of time on this problem and Grey has spent the equivalent of days in hour after hour of trying to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Perhaps Geraldine should just sue everyone involved. After she loses, she can appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court where it will go down in judicial history as "When I've Got A Hammer vs. Everything's A Nail." Meanwhile, I will continue to occasionally post here and just put up with the tirades. On some of the stock market discussion boards I visit, one can put a particularly annoying person on "ignore" so that their posts won't show up in your message box. Would that we could do that here.
