I already did this three years ago, or just removed these low valued
items. It isn't worth the time to sell stuff below $100 for me, because
my business costs only keep increasing and I'm needing to make more and
more money to cover the bills and my own paycheck.
fact: it costs at least $25 to cover the expense & time of selling
anything, and then there is merchandise costs, so where is the profit
margin?
also, I honestly have no idea why people send low value posters to any
auction, beyond their own ability to sell them or having any interest to
do the shipping part.
Campbell's soup isn't even $1 anymore and unlike poster dealers, the
supermarket sells through daily. I'll let Wal Mart & Wal Mart type
auctions sell $1 posters.
Even the non-Heritage auctions that sell posters for $1 aren't selling
$1 posters. They're selling $50 posters for $1 (and being proud of it,
for some odd reason, as their daily promotions exclaim) or if it's on
linen, they're selling a $100 poster for that dollar, because as stated
in their promo, they won't take posters under $50 value and when they
do, they bundle them up in lots of 50-100 posters or more (netting the
consignors pennies per poster)
selling low value posters for any business is in reality, a dead end,
and the only people who can afford to do that are those that sell from
their garage after they get home from their regular job, and just doing
it for extra cash.
Auctions only take low value stuff in in order to get the higher value
material anyway.

Mmmh... If that's the road to success, I should probably copy it and
stop selling movie posters for €20 or €30 or €40 and introduce a
minimum price of €50 for everything I have.
