Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[JR]

Ron,

I really don't know what you're talking about here? I didn't say anything
negative about Heritage... in fact I think I said that Grey does a fantastic
job of organizing, staging and publicizing them. All I did was just expanded
on your tutorial with some additional explanations about the same auction --
after all, it was you who suggested that some members of MOPO might have
trouble figuring out how to register and bid with Heritage. I thought this was
an admirable thing to do... and so I decided bring up and clarify some other
things about Heritage that might also cause these same MOPO members some
confusion, such as the buyer's premium (but I botched that... it's so
confusing...) and explaining how the internet auctions don't really "end" --
they continue on the live floor the next day.

I was just trying explain some of the things that you didn't put in your
helpful tutorial. It was you who called this subject thread a "tutorial",
wasn't it?

So, now I'm confused. Why do you seem upset with me for adding some additional
explanations to your tutorial? I even quoted directly from Heritage's web site
to make sure I had the details right. I mean, it seems to me that if some
members of MOPO were having trouble figuring out something as simple as how to
register with Heritage and bid on the items then, surely, those same poor
bewildered souls  would need further tutoring on more difficult concepts like
buyer's premiums and how winning online doesn't necessarily really mean you've
won.

You asked me " Are you seriously going to sit there and accuse the rest of the
people in the hobby of being so feeble minded that they can't take the buyers
premium into account?"

No, I would never suggest that.  But it seems to me that you seriously
suggested that some MOPO members are so feeble minded that they needed a
tutorial in order to figure out how to register with Heritage.  Buyer's
premiums are more complex than filling out a form on the Heritage website (at
least to someone as feeble-minded as myself). And that idea of winning online,
but not really winning... now, there's a real brain twister for you...

I trust that when Bruce holds his next registered-bidders only auction that we
can count on another helpful tutorial from you on how to register and bid on
those?

charge buyers premiums, (And the 15% Heritage charges is rather cheap compared

necessary part of doing business where the auction house is able to cover the
overhead of conducting the live auctions.  If you don't like it, that's okay.
You don't have to bid with them. Nothing is being hidden, nothing is being
charged that isn't clearly spelled out in the terms and conditions of the
sale. And  (dare I say it???) there's nothing wrong with that!!!  And by the
way, JR- it is 15% not the 20% you calculated by the example you gave in your
post. I think most of the people out there can calculate 15% - well, all but
one I know of.  At any rate, just adjust you bid accordingly and take into
account the buyer's premium.

Are you seriously implying that? Are you seriously going to sit there and
accuse the rest of the people in the hobby of being so feeble minded that they
can't take the buyers premium into account?  An ebay bid of $230 is the same
thing as a Heritage bid of $200. It's still $230.  You really need to get over
it.

Re: [MOPO] Ever hated the movie and the posters but loved the music?

[Steven Yafet]

Hey Andrea,

I can't speak for Sue, but I wasn't mocking Bond, just don't like the 
movies.  Personal taste.  As far as secret agents go, I prefer Patrick 
McGoohan in his series, Secret Agent (or Danger Man) and the first 
Mission Impossible television cast.


It'd be so boring if we all liked the same things ;)

  MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDUSubject: [MOPO] 
  RecommendedMarc Savlov's review of WHY WE FIGHT in the 
  Austin Chronicle:
  
   “The chief business of the American people is business” is 
  President Calvin Coolidge’s oft-quoted line from his 1925 speech before the 
  American Society of Newspaper Editors. Less known is his caveat directly 
  following: “Of course, the accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the 
  chief end of existence … there are many other things we want very much more. 
  We want peace and honor, and that charity which is so strong an element of all 
  civilization. The chief ideal of the American people is idealism.” Coolidge’s 
  out-of-context quote has been ground into the gristmill of cliché by decades 
  of over- and outright misuse, more often than not by those in business 
  seeking, as businessmen from William Randolph Hearst to Sam Walton have been 
  wont to do, to further not the American ideal but their own financial ends. 
  Why We Fight, Jarecki’s canny and somewhat overwhelming documentary, adds yet 
  another warning to Coolidge's by arguing – persuasively – that the chief 
  business of American business is nothing less than persistent and perpetual 
  warfare (rechristened when deemed necessary with less bellicose sobriquets – 
  i.e., “police actions”) and the funding and arming of myriad “friendly foreign 
  states,” several of which have turned out in recent years to be not as 
  friendly, or useful, as once presumed. After watching Jarecki’s film, it’s 
  embarrassingly, shamefully difficult to argue the point. Why We Fight opens 
  with a remarkably prescient and, apparently, wholly ignored warning to the 
  American people from outgoing president Dwight D. Eisenhower to guard against 
  the collusion of big business and our national tendency toward pugilism. 
  Citing as evidence the growing list of post-World War II conflicts the U.S. 
  has either initiated or allowed itself to become involved in (and thereby 
  fueling the economy by creating jobs at defense contractors and military 
  support companies such as Lockheed Martin and Halliburton), Jarecki paints a 
  grim picture of war profiteering run amok. First in the name of reining in the 
  Soviet Union and then, after the USSR’s collapse in 1991, with the hazily 
  defined goal of protecting our national interests from terrorism or the 
  promotion of Western-style democracies abroad, Eisenhower’s sage admonition 
  goes increasingly unrealized, while Coolidge appears to have entirely 
  misjudged the American psyche. For all its earnest zeal at pointing out what 
  should be, on the face of it, plainly obvious, Why We Fight is saved from 
  pedantry (or propagandism, depending on your state color), by the presence of 
  Wilton Sekzer, a retired NYPD officer who lost his only son on 9/11. 
  Grief-stricken and fully believing the current administration’s insistence on 
  a link between Iraq and 9/11, Sekzer manages to have his son’s name painted on 
  one of the none-too-smart bombs slated to be dropped on Baghdad (we see the 
  actual ordnance, at once both thrilling and horrific). Later, in the absence 
  of any WMD, Sekzer, the human face of the ghastly flip side of the military 
  industrial complex, is bewildered and angry – again. “I’m old school,” he 
  says. “If you can’t trust the President, then who can you trust?” I don’t know 
  about you Mr. Sekzer, but I like Ike.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[lobby card invasion]

I had a similar situation with Heritage.  Won three items and the shipping 
cost quoted was way too high, I thought.  I complained about it and asked 
for an explanation.  It turns out that Heritage neglected to combine the 
shipping cost of the various items.  While everything was sorted out at the 
end, I find it surprising that a company of Heritage's size, prestige, and 
experience, still has problems calculating shipping costs.

My guess is this piece if anti-Heritage propaganda has some basis in 
truth,
like lots of effective propaganda does--it's just been stripped of facts 
and

details that would expose it for what it is.

Here's my hypothesis: the $400+ figure comes from an ebay invoice for
multiple items that included multiple individual shipping charges--once 
for
each item. I had a similar huge # just this week on multiple items. But 
you

don't have to pay that amount! The $400+ total, I'll just bet, was before
adjustments were made for combined shipping, since (almost) no seller 
would

charge you eight times for shipping eight items in one package. How could
they be such low price items?  It must bot have been one of their
signature/catalogue auctions.  Didn't Heritage used to ren weekly auctions
on ebay before they  set up their own weekly auctions on their site? $9
minimum is what they charge for lots on their site--not on current ebay
auctions.

Just one educated, or semi-educated, guess...

But Rich--you get to read Bruce's email club messages before the rest of 
us?

Wow! That must be exciting!

Bruce will be running an email from a customer who saw a bunch of

he bought a certain number of them - about 15 items.. that totalled $85

well in addition to the bids, Heritage states that the minimum buyers
premium was $9 per item, which was more than any of the item's hammer
prices were.  Then in addition there were shipping fees & because the
guy was in Texas, he also had to pay sales taxes.. the result?

his total bill for $85 in auction items was OVER $400.

how's that folks!

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Sean Linkenback]

The quick and easy way for slow people to figure out the 15% premium.
When you are thinking/making your bid, move the decimal point over one place
to the left of your bid price.  
Then take half of that resulting number and add it together to the first
one.

We'll use the $200 bid for our example.
Step one: Move decimal over...let's see $200 becomes $20
Step two: Take half of that numberhmm..1/2 of $20...must be $10
Step three: Add them together...ummm...$20 plus $10waituh...$30?

See, you've just successfully figured out 15% in your head.


-Original Message-
From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JR
Yes...quite right... $230... not $240... I don't do accurate percentage
calculations rapidly in my head on the fly -- particularly odd numbers like
15% -- which is why I always chuckle when people say "it's no big to deal to
automatically figure in the buyer's premium during the heat of last-minute
bidding to make sure you don't go over budget". For them, maybe, but not for
people like me.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Kainbach]

I completely agree. Shipping charges are very reasonable. Grey and his team 
are typically excellent with every single process from any possible situation a 
bidder can every imagine. Unfortunately, I am not able to be there life this 
time around because of some unforseen event but maybe still make it. I will need 
to be bidding on the telephone because I really want some items. It will be a 
real challenge for some of the items but we will see and find out. It is always 
so much fun to be at life auctions, especially with Grey's auction because there 
are such amazing lots being auctioned. It is also great to be in a room filled 
with fellow movie poster addict and collecting maniacs like myself. Nobody 
should ever question the integrity of Grey and his team. 
Good Hunting Everyone!!!

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Freedom Lover]

At the magic poster auctions, first you have to get clearance to bid...this 
is above and beyond registering.


Their cut averages 20%.  I think Heritage's 15% is fair... I really do.

Shipping?  Well, it seems to me an obvious courtesy  to extend to combine 
orders on multiple posters to lower the shipping charges.  Does Heritage 
offer this?  I have no idea.

Um, Gee... Ron... since we're being so helpful to confused and uncertain
member of MOPO who might not understand how to register and bid on 
Heritage's
auctions, perhaps someone should also explain to them that Heritage 
charges
something called a " 15% buyer's premium" -- which means that if they bid 
and
win an item for $200, that it will actually cost them $240 -- plus 
Heritage's
traditionally very high shipping costs? I mean, just make sure they're 
not

confused?

Oh, yes, perhaps it would also help clarify thing to explain to them that 
this
auction is not like other online auctions, because after the online 
bidding
"ends" the bidding continues for another day live on the floor at the 
Dallas

auction house. As explained in Heritage's own words:

"The floor auction is being held in Dallas, TX on March 17-18, 2006. 
Online
bidding ends at 10:00PM CT the night before the floor session for this 
lot.
Your secret maximum online bid will compete for you during the floor 
auction,
and it is possible that you may be outbid on the floor after internet 
bidding

closes."

I think if someone explained all of this to them, it would clear up any
confusion they might have.

Re: [MOPO] Ever hated the movie and the posters but loved the music?

[Freedom Lover]

Nathalie and Susan, ENOUGH!  ;)  I love James 
Bond and never miss a Bond-a-thon.  As you know from style-b, that's when 
I'm MIA from the lists.  Love the gadgets, the cars (man, those cars rock!) 
and usually love Bond.  The women don't do much for me, but the scores are 
pretty great.
 
Really, ladies.  Never mock Bond, James Bond, to me 
again!!!

  Hello Nathalie and all,
     Funny but when you first asked the question, James Bond 
  movies were the first thing that jumped into my head. However, I do like the 
  original Connery Bond's. Goldfinger and Thunderball are nice posters. 
  Unfortunately, Dr. No is an awful poster. The red four panel poster from From 
  Russia with Love is o.k. Actually the foreign movie posters on the early Bond 
  films are really nice and I don’t normally collect foreign posters. Fantasia 
  was an interesting choice also. I didn't like it the first time I saw it, but 
  as I have gotten older and appreciate classical music much more, I do like 
  Fantasia. However, the poster still leaves a bit to be desired. (By the way it 
  is now hailing outside my office window here in beautiful southern 
  California)! The spaghetti westerns are a good example. The music is generally 
  great, but it really takes me awhile to get into the film.
      This is a fun question and one we might follow it up 
  with is a great movie that has a crappy poster. To Kill a Mockingbird is one 
  that I wish they had spent a bit more time thinking about the poster. It's 
  such a beautiful film and such a lousy poster. 
   
  Anyway, good topic Nathalietake care everyone.

Sorry, I opened up this topic but didn't tell you my thoughts 
on it.I don't like James Bond movies or the poster art.  And - 
yes - I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but their mix of 
adventure (sexual and otherwise), intrigue and gadgets really doesn't

again!  The From Russia With Love theme is one of the best, most 
memorable movie theme songs.   And the same with 
Goldfinger.It's interesting that Steve chose Fantasia as one of his

measure up to its soundtrack?What does everyone else feel about 
this?Nathalie

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Richard Halegua Comic Art]

Okay, I got an email from Grey Smith who assures me it couldn't have 
gone down the way I described, I've read Sean's email describing the 
fees so I have come up with a formula that seems to work.


here we go

first we have "Stupid bidder A"

"Stupid bidder A" sees Heritage auctions on eBay and sees that a 
number of items are still at $1 staring price. So he decides he 
wouldn't mind bidding on a lot of them. However, "Stupid bidder A" 
fails to read the auction to the end & does not read the section on 
fees & charges. Hence why we call him "Stupid bidder A"


He successfully bids on & wins 30 items totalling $85 in sales. These 
poster must have been a pretty good bargain!


"Oh joy" says "Stupid bidder A".
"I just won a crap load of stuff for nothing.. I'm going to have so much fun"
:-)

but then he gets the bill, which he does not expect because as 
"Stupid bidder A" he didn't read the fees part, so he didn't know he 
was going to have to pay $9 per auction, or maybe he did read the 
fees section, but because he is "Stupid bidder A" he didn't realize 
it was $9 per item & thought it would be $9 total for all the items.


se we have $85 + $9 x30= $270 = $355

already we're getting pretty close.

Add 8% sales tax $28.40 = $383.40

shipping maybe $20 . that makes it over $400.. but I tell ya, 
regardless of the total bill in that case he still must have gotten a 
pretty friggin good deal.


Keep in mind folks, as Grey pointed out to me, I did not hear this 
story directly from the "alleged"  bidder and as such, until I do or 
until more info comes from the main sources, then it would be just hearsay.

I would certainly like to hear more details of what exactly this guy bought.
Heritage's buyer's premium is laid out in their auctions both on their site
and ebay's.
If he bought 15 items, that is a premium of $135, added to his $85 bid price
you get a total of $220.  8% sales tax ($17.60)now brings it just under
$250.

So this person had to pay $150 shipping for 15 items?
Looking at Heritage's shipping table the MOST expensive shipping is for full
comic boxes at $12 per first item and $5.00 per additional (and these are
boxes that weigh 40lbs each, so the price is pretty reasonable).

The most shipping I can see is $5 x 14 items + $12 = $84 or about half of
what this guy says he was charged.  (Unless he bought an item that had to be
shipped by freight and was charged exact shipping).

Even still looking over the upcoming poster auction, I would probably
consider it a bargain to get the 15 cheapest items for $220 before shipping.
That works out to under $15 a poster, if you can find even 10 posters that
don't realistically have a market value of $100+ in this auction I'd like to
hear what they are.

wait folks how about this

Heritage's auctions on ebay.

Bruce will be running an email from a customer who saw a bunch of
items that were still under $10 on ebay

he bought a certain number of them - about 15 items.. that totalled $85

well in addition to the bids, Heritage states that the minimum buyers
premium was $9 per item, which was more than any of the item's hammer
prices were.  Then in addition there were shipping fees & because the
guy was in Texas, he also had to pay sales taxes.. the result?

his total bill for $85 in auction items was OVER $400.

how's that folks!

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Tom Johnson]

My guess is this piece if anti-Heritage propaganda has some basis in truth,
like lots of effective propaganda does--it's just been stripped of facts and
details that would expose it for what it is.

Here's my hypothesis: the $400+ figure comes from an ebay invoice for
multiple items that included multiple individual shipping charges--once for
each item. I had a similar huge # just this week on multiple items. But you
don't have to pay that amount! The $400+ total, I'll just bet, was before
adjustments were made for combined shipping, since (almost) no seller would
charge you eight times for shipping eight items in one package. How could
they be such low price items?  It must bot have been one of their
signature/catalogue auctions.  Didn't Heritage used to ren weekly auctions
on ebay before they  set up their own weekly auctions on their site? $9
minimum is what they charge for lots on their site--not on current ebay
auctions. 

Just one educated, or semi-educated, guess...

But Rich--you get to read Bruce's email club messages before the rest of us?
Wow! That must be exciting!

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Henry Mazel]

Agreed that Heritage shipping charges are pretty much in line with shipping costs in general, and Grey does a pretty fair job of 'making good' if the auctioneer doesn't 'see' the Internet bid and a floor bid of equal value trumps it -- that's happened to me.

But following and bidding live on Ebay will cost you another 5%, so the premium is 20%, not 15% -- this is Ebay's cut, and has nothing to do with Heritage.

[Ron Moore]

Hey Roland- 
Hey Rich-

That's a lot of disinformation.  You guys need to back those kind of statements 
up with some actual facts for a change. Present your evidence, not your opinion.

I know (For a Fact) that Heritage does take items that are expected to sell for 
less than $300 - because I've consigned items that were expected to sell for 
less than that 
at their signature auctions.  They would probably like everything to sell for 
more than that, but they are very realistic in their expectations.  Hey Roland, 
check the estimates.  Some of them actually say $200.  So why would they list 
that if they expected it to do more? 

You guys are amazing

Ron

Re: [MOPO] Ever hated the movie and the posters but loved the music?

[JR]

Sue,
 
I agree that most of the FANTASIA posters 
(particularly the early ones) concentrated their imagery on emphasizing the 
idea of selling this ground-breaking film to the public as familiar 
Walt Disney *cartoon* -- which doesn't really work. It took me forever to 
find a poster for it that did justice to both the symphonic music and the 
animation, but I finally did and now I have a favorite poster to go with one of 
my all-time favorite films:

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Ron Moore]

Um, Gee... JR... since MoPo is supposed to be informative and helpful to other 
members, I thought I might be able to help a few of them out who want to bid 
with Heritage and who want to get registered.  That was the entire intent of my 
post.  I was waiting for your response.  It seems that everytime somone  says 
anything positive about Heritage you are the first one to jump in and have 
something negative to say.  That bitterness about Heritage is going to eat you 
up. I was thinking about adding a line to my post after my first paragraph with 
something like... (Okay, JR, you can quit reading now because you'll just be 
upset that someone is trying to assist other members who want to participate in 
the sale).

You apparently have a massive problem with buyers premiums at auction houses. I 
have to say that at auction houses (not online sites alone) they all charge 
buyers premiums, (And the 15% Heritage charges is rather cheap compared to 
other auction houses where it is frequently 17.5% up to 22%). It is a necessary 
part of doing business where the auction house is able to cover the overhead of 
conducting the live auctions.  If you don't like it, that's okay. You don't 
have to bid with them. Nothing is being hidden, nothing is being charged that 
isn't clearly spelled out in the terms and conditions of the sale. And  (dare I 
say it???) there's nothing wrong with that!!!  And by the way, JR- it is 15% 
not the 20% you calculated by the example you gave in your post. I think most 
of the people out there can calculate 15% - well, all but one I know of.  At 
any rate, just adjust you bid accordingly and take into account the buyer's 
premium. 

Does that make online sites that don't charge a buyers premium any better? Are 
you seriously implying that? Are you seriously going to sit there and accuse 
the rest of the people in the hobby of being so feeble minded that they can't 
take the buyers premium into account?  An ebay bid of $230 is the same thing as 
a Heritage bid of $200. It's still $230.  You really need to get over it.  

As for the rest of your post, thanks for adding to the tutorial about how 
online bidding ends and then the floor bidding commences the following day with 
the live event.  That was, I'm sure, very helpful to the other MoPo members who 
haven't participated before.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[JR]

Kirby,

Yes...quite right... $230... not $240... I don't do accurate percentage
calculations rapidly in my head on the fly -- particularly odd numbers like
15% -- which is why I always chuckle when people say "it's no big to deal to
automatically figure in the buyer's premium during the heat of last-minute
bidding to make sure you don't go over budget". For them, maybe, but not for
people like me.

I've never had Heritage ship me anything, but it seems that after every one of
these "signature" auctions there are always a couple of messages sent to MOPO
saying "I just got my invoice from Heritage and they want $_ for shipping
and handling and that seems awfully high to me... is this normal?" So I kind
of assumed that what Heritage traditionally charges for "shipping and
handling" is a surprise to those confused, uncertain MOPO members that Ron was
trying to assist.

There's no question that Heritage runs some fine auctions and that Grey Smith
does a fantastic job of organizing, staging and, yes, publicizing them. But,
like Ron, I just didn't want anyone to be confused... :)

I totally agree with Sean.  I bought some very expensive posters at 
the last auction and I bid on both via telephone to avoid being beaten 
as stated.  In addition the shipping charges were very fair and I have no 
complaints whatsoever.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Sean Linkenback]

I would certainly like to hear more details of what exactly this guy bought.
Heritage's buyer's premium is laid out in their auctions both on their site
and ebay's.  
If he bought 15 items, that is a premium of $135, added to his $85 bid price
you get a total of $220.  8% sales tax ($17.60)now brings it just under
$250.  

So this person had to pay $150 shipping for 15 items?
Looking at Heritage's shipping table the MOST expensive shipping is for full
comic boxes at $12 per first item and $5.00 per additional (and these are
boxes that weigh 40lbs each, so the price is pretty reasonable).

The most shipping I can see is $5 x 14 items + $12 = $84 or about half of
what this guy says he was charged.  (Unless he bought an item that had to be
shipped by freight and was charged exact shipping).

Even still looking over the upcoming poster auction, I would probably
consider it a bargain to get the 15 cheapest items for $220 before shipping.
That works out to under $15 a poster, if you can find even 10 posters that
don't realistically have a market value of $100+ in this auction I'd like to
hear what they are.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Sean Linkenback]

JR, 
Your math is a little fuzzy, 15% of $200 is of course $30, so the total
price would be $230 not $240 if you make a $200 bid.  
Heritage also makes you well aware of the total price you will be paying, by
not only showing the bid/next bid with buyer's premium, but when you enter a
bid amount it shows what the total that your bid will be with buyer's
premium.

Their shipping charges are also quite reasonable - especially when compared
to other large auction houses.  I'm not sure where you get "traditionally
very high shipping costs" from - perhaps you are just making it up?
One of my recent invoices was for over $1000 and the shipping was still
under $20.  I'm not sure what you pay to ship a $1000 item, but if you are
doing it for well under that price (with insurance) I'd sure like to know
about it.
Here is a link to Heritage's shipping fees, so you can know EXACTLY what you
will pay beforehand:
http://movieposters.heritageauctions.com/common/contactus.php?ref=&txtTopicI
D=21#answer

Worried about your online bid being beat?  Well you can either do as Ron
suggested and click on the make a phone bid link, or follow the auctions on
eBay live.  Certainly two easy ways to take care of the problem.

Re: [MOPO] Ever hated the movie and the posters but loved the music?

[Susan Heim]

Hello Nathalie and all,
   Funny but when you first asked the question, James Bond movies 
were the first thing that jumped into my head. However, I do like the original 
Connery Bond's. Goldfinger and Thunderball are nice posters. Unfortunately, Dr. 
No is an awful poster. The red four panel poster from From Russia with Love is 
o.k. Actually the foreign movie posters on the early Bond films are really nice 
and I don’t normally collect foreign posters. Fantasia was an interesting choice 
also. I didn't like it the first time I saw it, but as I have gotten older and 
appreciate classical music much more, I do like Fantasia. However, the poster 
still leaves a bit to be desired. (By the way it is now hailing outside my 
office window here in beautiful southern California)! The spaghetti 
westerns are a good example. The music is generally great, but it really takes 
me awhile to get into the film.
    This is a fun question and one we might follow it up 
with is a great movie that has a crappy poster. To Kill a Mockingbird is one 
that I wish they had spent a bit more time thinking about the poster. It's such 
a beautiful film and such a lousy poster. 
 
Anyway, good topic Nathalietake care everyone.
 
Sue

  Sorry, I opened up this topic but didn't tell you my thoughts

  yes - I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but their mix of 
  adventure (sexual and otherwise), intrigue and gadgets really doesn't 
  appeal to me.  The poster art, in my view, is just more of the 
  same.  Perhaps, in general, men like these movies more than 
  women?  I don't know.But the music is something else again!  
  The From Russia With Love theme is one of the best, most memorable movie 
  theme songs.   And the same with Goldfinger.It's 
  interesting that Steve chose Fantasia as one of his picks.  I don't 
  hate this movie but how could it even begin to measure up to its

  this?Nathalie

Re: [MOPO] QUESTION: ANYBODY USED BEST OFFER LISTINGS ON EBAY?

[JR]

I could be wrong, but I think the worries over "Best Offer" 
corrupting auctions values are more theory than practice. As sellers 
who have tried it have reported, what you usually get are people sending you 
absurd low-ball offers, thinking that for some reason that you will take $75 
bucks for the item you have up for auction that is easily worth $200 or 
$300. I think that's the kind of "best offer" one is likely to get for most 
things and -- for a few highly desirable items -- you might get this 
scenario:
 
Let's say the highly desirable item usually goes for around $5,000 and 
the seller is starting it at $4,000 but it could go for $6,000 or 
more if the right eager bidders get involved in a bidding war. In the past, 
sneaky eager bidder #1 might email the seller and say, "Hey, I'll pay you $4,600 
for it right now and you can just end the auction early." In this way, sneaky 
bidder #1 hopes to cut out his competition for the item. Heck, he might even 
offer $5,300 if he thinks the seller knows what the item is worth. The point is, 
he is trying to short-circuit the competitive bidding for the item at 
auction.
 
Now, this already happens anyway -- with sneaky bidder #1 simply sending 
the seller a private email with his offer. So, now, if sneaky bidder 
#1 simply uses the "Best Offer" option instead to try to get the seller to 
end the auction early it's just a different way of doing what he would have done 
anyway (and, of course, this way eBay gets its cut of the sale).
 
A seller who accepts a best offer on a highly desirable offer is being 
foolish, because he almost certainly will get a higher price if the auction 
continues to its normal end. Why? Because sneaky bidder #1 isn't going to make a 
Best Offer that is *more* than he would be willing to bid at the end, probably 
less. So it would be to the seller's advantage to take a pass on the Best Offer 
for a really desirable item and see what happens during the last-minute 
bidding.
 
Now, some sellers might not be so well-informed about value or 
auction-savvy and accept the Best Offer, but then they also would have 
accepted the email offer from sneaky bidder #1 if there were no such thing as 
"Best Offer". 
 
Really, the term comes from the classified ads, where you usually on see it 
in conjunction with used car ads where the seller will say "$750 cash or best 
offer". It is understood in that market place that "best offer" means an amount 
BELOW the asking price, not higher. So, when people see "Best Offer" on an eBay 
item, most all of them are going to be inclined to submit a low-ball offer which 
the seller will ignore.
 
If you really want and item and are worried that the seller doesn't 
know the real value of an item and might be inclined to take a low bid for it 
(increasingly unlike these days on eBay) then make a "Best Offer" yourself... 
even if the seller didn't place the "Best Offer" option in the auction 
description, there's always the old send-'em-an-email ploy. If you don't, sneaky 
bidder #1 probably will. This is the way of the world.

furious one time when she went out into the lobby when we went to see "The Spy

Subject: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction



Hello All!

   I was speaking with a fellow member of MoPo the other day and  
although he
was aware of the upcoming auction at Heritage, he was not aware of  
the process
he needed to go through to bid with them.  He thought it might be a  
lot of
trouble, but I assured him that it was actually quite easy. It  
occured to me
that there might be some other members who would like to bid as  
well but were
unfamiliar or possibly even a little intimidated about  the process  
of getting

registered.


So, for those who would like a brief tutorial- here it is.

If one goes to their home page http:// 
movieposters.heritageauctions.com you
will see their "Vintage Movie Posters" banner at the top of the  
page.  just
above the image of the King Kong one sheet is a "Join Now" icon.  
Click on that

and follow the instructions to get resigistered for the sale.


Once you've registered you can see all of the items in the auction by
finding the image of the catalog for their upcoming sale (2006  
March Rare
Movie Poster Auction #633).  Under the dates of the sale (March  
17-18) it says
"browse"- click on that and it will let you see all of the genres/  
catagories
in the sale.  Click on "All Items" to see everything or go to your  
favorite

type of poster.


Once you see a lot you're interested in, click on it and not only  
will you
get a great and very thorough description of the item, but you'll  
also get a
fantastic, unenhanced, hi-res digital shot of the item.  At the  
beginning of
the lot description you will see where you can place your bid. As  
soon as you
enter your bid, just follow the directions to verify your bid and  
you're done!


Pretty easy!  However, if any of this didn't make sense, just  
contact me
here in Colorado and I'll try to help out.  OR, just go right to  
the source.
Grey's a great guy, easy to talk to and I know he'll get you  
registered

instantly.  You can reach him at [EMAIL PROTECTED]


They've also added a great feature to their bidding "Banner" where  
you can
click to sign up for phone bidding!  That should be particularly  
useful as
I've had many people ask me over the years how they can go about  
getting to
bid by phone.  Heritage has now made that option super-easy and I  
have to say
that it's also a great way to bid.  When I can't attend an auction  
in person,

this has always been my preferred method of bidding.


You should check out the sale.  There are (as usual) some  
fantastic items.

Re: [MOPO] Ever hated the movie and the posters but loved the music?

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Many Italian horror films are not everybody's cup of tea (or offal) but 
many feature incredibly beautiful and haunting scores, quite at odds 
with the films themselves.

Re: [MOPO] Ever hated the movie and the posters but loved the music?

[Steven Yafet]

Sorry, I opened up this topic but didn't tell you my thoughts on it.

I don't like James Bond movies or the poster art.  And - yes - I 
realize I'm probably in the minority here, but their mix of adventure 
(sexual and otherwise), intrigue and gadgets really doesn't appeal to 
me.  The poster art, in my view, is just more of the same.  Perhaps, in 
general, men like these movies more than women?  I don't know.


But the music is something else again!  The From Russia With Love theme 
is one of the best, most memorable movie theme songs.   And the same 
with Goldfinger.


It's interesting that Steve chose Fantasia as one of his picks.  I 
don't hate this movie but how could it even begin to measure up to its 
soundtrack?


What does everyone else feel about this?

Nathalie

Re: [MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[JR]

Um, Gee... Ron... since we're being so helpful to confused and uncertain
member of MOPO who might not understand how to register and bid on Heritage's
auctions, perhaps someone should also explain to them that Heritage charges
something called a " 15% buyer's premium" -- which means that if they bid and
win an item for $200, that it will actually cost them $240 -- plus Heritage's
traditionally very high shipping costs? I mean, just make sure they're not
confused?

Oh, yes, perhaps it would also help clarify thing to explain to them that this
auction is not like other online auctions, because after the online bidding
"ends" the bidding continues for another day live on the floor at the Dallas
auction house. As explained in Heritage's own words:

"The floor auction is being held in Dallas, TX on March 17-18, 2006. Online
bidding ends at 10:00PM CT the night before the floor session for this lot.
Your secret maximum online bid will compete for you during the floor auction,
and it is possible that you may be outbid on the floor after internet bidding
closes."

I think if someone explained all of this to them, it would clear up any
confusion they might have.

We on the other hand have no plans for introducing such a scheme!

I have no idea why you include Movieposterbid.com in your post.
we have no such function and have no plans to implement any such function.
Ebay does, Movieposterbid.com does not.

I would appreciate it if when you mention Movieposterbid.com that you

[MOPO] Heritage tutorial for Auction

[Ron Moore]

Hello All!

   I was speaking with a fellow member of MoPo the other day and although he 
was aware of the upcoming auction at Heritage, he was not aware of the process 
he needed to go through to bid with them.  He thought it might be a lot of 
trouble, but I assured him that it was actually quite easy. It occured to me 
that there might be some other members who would like to bid as well but were 
unfamiliar or possibly even a little intimidated about  the process of getting 
registered.

So, for those who would like a brief tutorial- here it is. 

If one goes to their home page http://movieposters.heritageauctions.com you 
will see their "Vintage Movie Posters" banner at the top of the page.  just 
above the image of the King Kong one sheet is a "Join Now" icon. Click on that 
and follow the instructions to get resigistered for the sale.

Once you've registered you can see all of the items in the auction by finding 
the image of the catalog for their upcoming sale (2006 March Rare Movie Poster 
Auction #633).  Under the dates of the sale (March 17-18) it says "browse"- 
click on that and it will let you see all of the genres/ catagories in the 
sale.  Click on "All Items" to see everything or go to your favorite type of 
poster.

Once you see a lot you're interested in, click on it and not only will you get 
a great and very thorough description of the item, but you'll also get a 
fantastic, unenhanced, hi-res digital shot of the item.  At the beginning of 
the lot description you will see where you can place your bid. As soon as you 
enter your bid, just follow the directions to verify your bid and you're done!

Pretty easy!  However, if any of this didn't make sense, just contact me here 
in Colorado and I'll try to help out.  OR, just go right to the source.  Grey's 
a great guy, easy to talk to and I know he'll get you registered instantly.  
You can reach him at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

They've also added a great feature to their bidding "Banner" where you can 
click to sign up for phone bidding!  That should be particularly useful as I've 
had many people ask me over the years how they can go about getting to bid by 
phone.  Heritage has now made that option super-easy and I have to say that 
it's also a great way to bid.  When I can't attend an auction in person, this 
has always been my preferred method of bidding.

You should check out the sale.  There are (as usual) some fantastic items.

[MOPO] QUESTION: ANYBODY USED BEST OFFER LISTINGS ON EBAY?

[S Bashi]

 
It is not very often I find myself in agreement with what Claude Litton 
says, but on this occasion he is 100% on target !
 
The sole purpose of the auction process is to establish a market value 
for an item in an open and fair way.
 
This process has been tried, tested and honed for centuries and in view of 
the majority of the professionals in the auction industry this process works 
very well.
 
Anything that corrupts that process, ( and "Best Offer" is a serious 
corruption of that process) is fraught with scope for dishonesty and trickery, 
many of which were highlighted in Claude's email and his 
candid observations.
 
Of Course I think it is a wonderful idea to be adopted by eBay and 
MoviePosterBid.com and may they introduce many more ideas like that. We on the 
other hand have no plans for introducing such a scheme!

  Subject: Re: [MOPO] Fw: [MOPO] QUESTION: 
  ANYBODY USED BEST OFFER LISTINGS ON EBAY?
  
  I disagree with all of the remarks by sellers but you are sellers.  
  I am a collector and frankly I resent this stupid scenario by ebay in which a 
  person looks for a "best offer".  Ebay was originally and essentially an 
  auction venue in which the high bid wins.  However, in its most greedy 
  fashion it has invented this "best offer" tripe as a solution for obtaining 
  fees from sellers while attempting to stop sellers from ending 
  auctions in midstream.  Many times in the past sellers stopped auctions 
  for thinly disguised reasons because they received an email which made them an 
  offer to stop the auction and accept their bid privately.  These 
  infuriated ebay and they have tried to capitalize on this premise.  That 
  was because they did not reap a percentage of the sales price from the 
  seller.
   
  However, it is not being used as an auction but as a tool by sellers to 
  elicit the highest bid possible from collectors while at the same time 
  retaining possession of the poster they allegedly are offering at a 
  "reasonable" price.  Most posters that have been offered, have been 
  offered at ridiculous prices with the seller literally saying you can "buy it 
  now" at that price if you are a fool but you also can make me an offer which 
  if also very high will allow me to take your money.  However, I really 
  will not part with it unless the price is sky high.  It allows sellers to 
  siphon the highest possible bid from a collector dumb enough to offer 
  it.  I will never give a seller on ebay my highest offer for a 
  poster.  He knows what I am willing to pay for it without having to sell 
  it to me.  At a poster show it is different because you can haggle in 
  person and everything you do in a face to face situation is a far cry from a 
  faceless ebay "best offer" situation.   If he wants to sell it then 
  I say, list it at an opening price you will accept and see if it sells. At 
  least I know that my best bid, if highest, will get the poster. 
   
  As for best offers, I avoid them like the plague.
   
  While we are at itI also will not chase reserves.

Re: [MOPO] Fw: [MOPO] QUESTION: ANYBODY USED BEST OFFER LISTINGS ON EBAY?

[Steven Yafet]

Good points, Claude.

Best offer listings also sound like what happened during the (in)famous 
Latrobe, PA event.  I seem to recall that it didn't matter if a highest 
offer and the closest one to it were miles apart, the highest offer was 
still going to be the one accepted.  Not like a real auction at all.

[MOPO] WTB Bird Man of Alcatraz OS - wrong names

[Doug Taylor]

I’m looking for the original US issue Bird
Man of Alcatraz OS…the version printed BEFORE Telly Savalas name was
corrected.  The poster I seek will have his name listed as “Tony Savalas”
or will have a sticker over the incorrect name.

 

Please send condition, price and pictures.

 

Thank you

 

DBT
