Well said, Kirby, well said.
And repros FLOODING the market??
Not quite.....
It's more like untrue marketing hype, methinks.

I don’t think so. Sure, there have been some fakes and some
chicanery.
But the vast majority of movie posters out there are authentic.
I wish bidll good luck, certainly.
But the idea that most collectors are going to encounter fakes
wholesale is just not true.
Think about the millions of movie posters that exist. And then
think about
what percentage of these you believe to be fake. In my experience
it isn’t even one tenth of one percent if that!

Dave,
How did these various newspapers and media outlets get wind of
bidll in the first place, in order to do these stories?
Did you (or an associate) contact them is some capacity to let
them know?

With reproductions and counterfeits flooding the market and major
retailers also using the sites as another outlet for their
products, Mr Rew said finding original collectible bargains was
becoming more difficult.
“It’s become less about finding that special piece for your
collection and more about shopping for everything else. As a
collector I don’t want to wade through all the everyday retail
items, the reproductions, the reprints and the knock-offs just to
find that special piece I need for to my collection.”
Bidll will cater solely for passionate collectors with reprints,
reproductions, fakes and counterfeits banned.
