Re: [MOPO] Would you buy.....? Wy I asked...

[Bruce Hershenson]

I think this has more to do with the size of the hobby than anything else.
If there were more than a few thousand active collectors, there would surely
be buyers for posters like these.

Right now, there is an imbalance in the hobby, with more items for sale than
there are buyers. This creates lots of buying opportunities, except among
those dealers who choose to "wait things out" and not lower their prices
(which is absolutely their right to do!). I am 100% certain that a few years
from now collectors will look back at this time as a golden buying
opportunity (even if some prices fall even further).

Re: [MOPO] Would you buy.....? Wy I asked...

[Helmut Hamm]

I'm with Sean on this one, if I see poster that's linenbacked, I immediately 
assume that it had some kind of problem. 

Unless a poster is already sold and the client requires it, these days I only 
have posters linenbacked that have a serious condition issue, that severely 
lower the display value. (Like stains in a white background of an otherwise 
nice condition poster.)

With all the over-restoration, it's already obvious that many people 
(collectors and decorators alike) are already willing to pay a serious bonus 
for unbacked items in great condition. I know that I do.

Re: [MOPO] Would you buy.....? Wy I asked...

[Sean Linkenback]

Bruce, 
would you say the number of weekly auctions at this point in time has something 
to do with there being more items for sale than buyers? 
And do you see a few thousand more collectors coming into the hobby the next 
few years and that is why it is a golden buying opportunity? Or can you explain 
a little further?

I was curious because I have two linen backed one sheets I'm selling on eBay 
right now. Both are listed at 99.99. With a couple more to follow next week. 

I can't believe they wouldn't sell at this price no matter what the graphics. 

I decided I wasn't going to bombard MOPO with another ho-hum listing only to

If anyone is interested. I am also offering free shipping on one of the

Re: [MOPO] Would you buy.....? Wy I asked...

[Shelly Whitworth-King]

 

I'm still content to buy linen or paper backed pieces - but it very much 
depends on the title.  It certainly helps to know the condition pre-backing and 
if details of the backer are available, even better.

I wish every backer would mark their work somehow (with a seal, emblem or 
something). 
Not only so i would know who to stay away from when I see horrible work, but it 
is tremendous word of mouth for the more talented restorers, as when you see a 
great looking piece you want to use that person.

Re: [MOPO] Would you buy.....? Wy I asked...

[Glenn Taranto]

I've been advocating this for a while now. 

I've brought it up here once upon a time but it seemed to me it was shot down 
for a variety of reasons... Since the Universal fiasco perhaps it's an idea 
whose time has finally come.

There's one particular restorer I'd never use again. And I wouldn't buy 
anything I knew they handled whether it was superb work or not.

Re: [MOPO] Would you buy.....? Wy I asked...

[Bruce Hershenson]

Absolutely! There are over 400,000 eBay auctions for posters alone, and
another half million or more of all other types of movie memorabilia.

If all of those would just "go away" there would be *WAY *more buyers for
auctions like mine and Rich's, and lots more buyers for dealers like you and
Kirby, but of course that is unlikely to happen, until the eBay implosion is
complete, and that might be a year or too off.

I don't know about new buyers coming in, but I do know that the current
over-supply will surely get absorbed (except on the bottom end stuff, which
will NEVER get absorbed) and then the prices will steadily rise and that is
when people will look back at today's prices as a golden buying opportunity.

But oddly enough, Bruce, neither appeals to my taste...  Even for 99.99!

Re: [MOPO] Would you buy.....? Wy I asked...

[Sean Linkenback]

Really?  400,000 "auctions"?
Or 235,000+ repros, plus another 150,000+ "fishing expeditions" where the 
prices are usually Mrs. Miniver high above FMV buy-it-nows, with "only" around 
10,000 actual auctions posted - and again a great majority of those are at 
starting prices which could be considered FMV or higher.

I would suggest that you run as many auctions on a weekly basis as there are 
actual auctions on eBay combined.

  Absolutely! There are over 400,000 eBay auctions for posters alone, and 
another half million or more of all other types of movie memorabilia.

  If all of those would just "go away" there would be WAY more buyers for 
auctions like mine and Rich's, and lots more buyers for dealers like you and 
Kirby, but of course that is unlikely to happen, until the eBay implosion is 
complete, and that might be a year or too off.

  I don't know about new buyers coming in, but I do know that the current 
over-supply will surely get absorbed (except on the bottom end stuff, which 
will NEVER get absorbed) and then the prices will steadily rise and that is 
when people will look back at today's prices as a golden buying opportunity.

I think this has more to do with the size of the hobby than anything else. 
If there were more than a few thousand active collectors, there would surely be 
buyers for posters like these.

Right now, there is an imbalance in the hobby, with more items for sale 
than there are buyers. This creates lots of buying opportunities, except among 
those dealers who choose to "wait things out" and not lower their prices (which 
is absolutely their right to do!). I am 100% certain that a few years from now 
collectors will look back at this time as a golden buying opportunity (even if 
some prices fall even further).

  I was curious because I have two linen backed one sheets I'm 
selling on eBay right now. Both are listed at 99.99. With a couple more to 
follow next week.

  I can't believe they wouldn't sell at this price no matter what 
the graphics.

  I decided I wasn't going to bombard MOPO with another ho-hum 
listing only to annoy people.

  If anyone is interested. I am also offering free shipping on one 
of the posters. If you took more than one the shipping would still be free!

If prices are SO cheap in my auctions, how come you only buy the very best
items? Why not take some easy money and buy some of those "great deals" and
re-sell them for lots more?

If the items can't be re-sold for more than what I get for them, maybe those
are the REAL current values for those items, and maybe some of those other
prices are simply highly inflated "Mrs Miniver" type prices.

ok, so the copy should be "we have as many auctions as all those other guys 
combined, and still get REAL current values for everything"
how's that? :-)

that way we won't discuss the difference between a good deal for a collector 
and a good deal for a retailer.
besides, everyone knows I'm pretty much a wholesaler anyways. :-)

is when people will look back at today's prices as a golden buying opportunity.

I think this has more to do with the size of the hobby than 
anything else. If there were more than a few thousand active collectors, there 
would surely be buyers for posters like these.

Right now, there is an imbalance in the hobby, with more items for 
sale than there are buyers. This creates lots of buying opportunities, except 
among those dealers who choose to "wait things out" and not lower their prices 
(which is absolutely their right to do!). I am 100% certain that a few years 
from now collectors will look back at this time as a golden buying opportunity 
(even if some prices fall even further).

Maybe I am selling the wrong items. If I could just get some Finnish
posters, you'd be there like a bear. Of course, everyone knows those are the
true world's rarest movie posters, so I won't be getting any of them anytime
soon!

Re: [MOPO] FS: SNOW WHITE herald 1938 - $60

[lovenoir2]

This poster is a 1975 reissue.. as stated.. but why do you claim it to
be a rarer reissue? Nowhere in your description do you explain why
that is.

Your opinion simply stating it as rare doesnt make it so.

What makes this a more scarce item?

thanks.

If the Freaks poster was a reproduction or a Haggard forgery I'd

Now if Poster-ratzi was selling Mexican 1sheets..

well then I'd take the original Freaks poster

Re: [MOPO] Would you buy.....? Wy I asked...

[Michele Davies]

To circle back to the LB part of the discussion, I suppose I am one of the
few that likes to linenback posters to facilitate framing and storage - and
it's certainly no issue to buy a poster already LB, though I prefer to know
who did the work and the pre-LB condition.  For me, it's all about the title
and particular artwork. If it's a piece I'm looking for, I'll take it
backed, not backed, any way I can get it!

 Or 235,000+ repros, plus another 150,000+ "fishing expeditions" where
 the prices are usually Mrs. Miniver high above FMV buy-it-nows, with "only"
 around 10,000 actual auctions posted - and again a great majority of those
 are at starting prices which could be considered FMV or higher.

 I would suggest that you run as many auctions on a weekly basis as there
 are actual auctions on eBay combined.

 Absolutely! There are over 400,000 eBay auctions for posters alone, and
 another half million or more of all other types of movie memorabilia.

 If all of those would just "go away" there would be *WAY *more buyers
 for auctions like mine and Rich's, and lots more buyers for dealers like 
 you
 and Kirby, but of course that is unlikely to happen, until the eBay
 implosion is complete, and that might be a year or too off.

 I don't know about new buyers coming in, but I do know that the current
 over-supply will surely get absorbed (except on the bottom end stuff, which
 will NEVER get absorbed) and then the prices will steadily rise and that is
 when people will look back at today's prices as a golden buying 
 opportunity.
