Hi filip, You are SO CORRECT. The problem of course is very few professional dealers sell new release posters for GOOD REASON. Demand for new titles peak at release and few still buy them after three months.
For every 2003 "Lost in Translation" DS one-sheet that remains desirable - (I sold a DS banner for more than $1K through eMoviePoster a few years ago) - there are thousands "It - Chapter Two" one-sheets people no longer want. Hence the reason for my humiliating "begging at MoPo." (Still no solution.) Your You Tube video idea is good, but when I pass along detailed instructions about packing, many sellers get offended. I posted this image before, but it still lingers in my mind - remember this? I got it from an amateur seller who shipped it in a triangle tube. Ridiculous! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/6809/5ZHgUc.jpg [https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/6809/5ZHgUc.jpg] ________________________________ From: MoPo List <mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU> on behalf of filip de volder <runbuffy...@hotmail.com> Sent: Thursday, December 5, 2019 5:28 AM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU <MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU> Subject: Re: WTB - (VERY BAD LUCK!) - Once Upon A Time in Hollywood - DS OS with R Rating. (NM to M) Hi David , if this happens all the time then you should keep away from amateur sellers , even if their prices are very interesting , if you know upfront that you’ll probably have a problem it doesn’t seem worth the trouble . maybe do a small video on how rolled posters are to be packed , put it on YouTube and when you buy a poster from someone who may seem an amateur send him the YouTube link . ( it’s actually the same work doing a good or a bad packing job ) i have sold + 700 rolled concert posters over the last months , the shipping/packing costs are 30% higher then sending a rolled poster for those having nightmares every time they get a rolled poster order in i would recommend to STOP BUYING rolled posters . if an extended vacation comes to say 2000$ ( ok , for some this is a cheap weekend trip), that makes 2000 rolled posters bought and recieved in damaged condition , a donkey doesn’t hit the same rock twice so … filip Sent from Mail<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.microsoft.com%2Ffwlink%2F%3FLinkId%3D550986&data=02%7C01%7C%7C5f750058e336486f478208d779870907%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637111493187822441&sdata=ACwXVk5ewKvHdDC2dxhYLj4mO6vWFsIcZSgo5oTt8HQ%3D&reserved=0> for Windows 10 ________________________________ From: MoPo List <mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU> on behalf of Helmut Hamm <texasmu...@web.de> Sent: Thursday, December 5, 2019 11:40:25 AM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU <MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU> Subject: Re: [MOPO] WTB - (VERY BAD LUCK!) - Once Upon A Time in Hollywood - DS OS with R Rating. (NM to M) David, for me, rolled posters are a recurring nightmare. If I would get a dollar for every rolled poster I bought that was damaged in transit, I could go on an extended vacation. Among the WORST are those amateur sellers who insist to ship a folded poster in a tube only because it has been laying flat for a while. Once a poster has been folded, the damage is done and there is NO additional harm from folding it again. As a seller, shipping rolled posters safely takes a lot of time and more expensive packing materials. Compared to folded posters, the shipping costs are ridiculous. Depending on location, shipping a rolled poster costs be between four and eight times the money of sending out the same poster folded. Plus, I had DHL Germany/ USPS totally crash to rolled poster packages this year. Both were extremely well packed, double-boxed, and they looked like they had been thrown under a truck. I'm still waiting for the insurance to cough up and at this point, I very much doubt it will ever happen. If only I could get away with it, I would have no problem to fold every single rolled poster I have in stock. I know I can't do that, but still… Alas, time to start packing another rolled poster order that just came in… :-( Cheers, Helmut Am 05.12.2019 um 04:03 schrieb David Kusumoto <davidmkusum...@hotmail.com<mailto:davidmkusum...@hotmail.com>>: Help! VERY BAD LUCK buying many DS copies with the "true" final USA R-rating printed in the lower left corner. Only one so far (since July) - has passed condition tests for gift quality. All were listed "new" by sellers and looked great in photos - but arrived with horizontal rippling - or - creasing / bends at the top or bottom edges. Others were replete with dimples down the center from top to bottom - or - "scuff-type" wear along the vertical edges - way beyond the "few minor dings" that are OK and common w/even "pristine" posters. Any thoughts? I think the rippling is caused by tight hand-rolling - to fit into 2 inch (or smaller!) diameter sleeves and tubes - (see reference photos below - the posters always look good at first but more probing reveals what I'm talking about). I never get this from pro dealers using three-inch diameter tubes - but it's coming up a lot with amateur sellers. Someone please set me straight. I think these new-release posters are machine rolled into tubes for theaters - but after re-sellers take them out to take photos - they don't know how to re-roll large format paper - by hand - and in a straight line - causing them to make too many hand-adjustments to get them to fit back into these narrow tubes. When I bring it up, they say, "it was mint when shipped." They're not aware of what happens when they use narrow sleeves or tubes. Other posters have shown up w/small, but hard crease edge wear along the vertical sides (vs. normal dings). Of course I get that perfection is impossible - I just don't want to be embarrassed gifting LESS than "near mint" / near pristine posters for RECENT titles. If you have ideas or can help - please message me with price and condition. Thank you! (See photos below.)
