Adding my two pennies a bit late in the game, as usual.
At the end of the day Bruce does indeed have the best and most cost-realistic vintage poster auctions out there. The lack of buyer's premiums makes for a more what-you-see-is-what-you-get marketplace. (Plus I don't have so much pesky math to deal with.."Let's see; $553 minus 30% is...OK, carry the one...".) His auction price results history is a handy way for me to get a realistic idea of what my posters are actually worth. The prices of some of the same stuff on eBay are absurd; what informed collector is going to pay $4K+ for a $2,000 one sheet from "Them"? How about $3,000 for a $250 one sheet from "Monster of Piedras Blancas"?
His 20% cut for what most of my collection is worth is fair. By the time eBay gets done with all their various F.U. fees their slice of the pie ends up being closer to 25% total. Ouch. (I'm downsizing my collection right now and I've been too lazy to send Mr. Hershenson and his excellent staff a large shipment of stuff. When I get down to the cream of the crop I'll have to rethink that idea.

Wow, what a nice letter from this consigner. And, from my point of view, his sentiments ring true with me as well. Jim Gresham

An email we at eMoviePoster.com received from one of our 69,000+ customers (who is also one of our 3,265+ consignors) that sums up EXACTLY what makes us SO very different from EVERY other auction on the face of the Earth:
"I am 75 years old. After buying from you for 25 years, I consigned my entire collection to you and you auctioned it.
In all these years I have never seen anyone run a tighter ship. You must work harder than anybody I've ever known.
I can't put into words how much I've enjoyed your auctions over the years. Thanks to your great staff, who are so professional. You must be very proud of them."
If the auctions YOU have been dealing with don't cause you to feel this way EVERY time you get your purchases (or the results of your consignments), then isn't it time you discover "the eMoviePoster.com difference"?
