Re: [MOPO] EXACTLY what makes us SO very different from EVERY other auction on Earth!

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"?

One Flew Over

[MOPO] FA: 1,612 one-sheets, lobby cards, stills, signed items & much more close in HOURS!

2024-05-07 Thread Bruce Hershenson 
*I just saw how extremely low the prices are on many of my company's
(eMoviePoster.com's) 1,612 flat items of all kinds (including 56
"oversized" ones, and 154 "signed" ones) that will begin closing in just a
few hours TODAY beginning at 7 PM CST TUESDAY
at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF OUR
VERY BEST "REGULAR" SETS OF AUCTIONS EVER (no brag, just fact), AND YOU
REALLY DON'T WANT TO MISS IT, BECAUSE IT IS FILLED WITH VERY DESIRABLE
ITEMS AND EXTREME RARITIES!Note that some people feel these last minute
reminder emails are "too long", or have "too much information", and if YOU
feel this way, then please stop reading this now, and simply go to the
above link right now and look over these 1,612 items that will begin
closing later TODAY! Thanks and best of luck on whatever you are bidding
on!HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T MIND READING MORE, PLEASE DO READ ON, because
there is much useful and helpful information below!If you are fairly new to
this hobby, you may be very surprised to learn that the price levels of
vintage movie paper (and related items) is FAR lower than that of ANY other
collectible these days! One quick look at the current bid prices on the
1,612 auctions closing in hours
at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html
 proves that beyond a shadow
of a doubt!DO YOU LIKE TO GET REALLY GREAT "DEALS"? Then you will surely
want to closely look over these 1,612 flat items of all kinds (including 56
"oversized" ones, and 154 "signed" ones), because currently, with 12 hours
left (as of this writing) until these start to close, there are TWO HUNDRED
THIRTEEN of these at just FIVE DOLLARS each or under, FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY
FOUR at just TEN DOLLARS each or under, and a whopping SEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY
ONE at just TWENTY DOLLARS each or under (and that is FORTY FIVE PERCENT of
the auctions)! And you know just as well as I do that a $20 bill buys a
fraction of what it did five or ten years ago, but many of these items are
currently at prices similar to what they were ten or twenty YEARS ago!And
remember: WE are the only major auction with NONE of those awful 20% OR 25%
"buyers premiums" (and one auction's "minimum buyers premium" is a truly
INSANE $29, meaning they will never sell any item for under $30 AND that
their poor consignors RECEIVE pennies from a $30 sale).It is not just the
lowest priced ones ending in HOURS that represent exceptional values, as
there are items at every price level that are far under where the same (or
similar) items have sold for before, and these make great unique gifts (for
yourself or others) that don't have to cost you an arm and a leg, so please
start checking them out now!And when I say "unique" I am not exaggerating
by very much! A LOT of these items ARE super rare. AND NOW YOU CAN TELL
WHICH ARE THE MOST RARE ITEMS VERY QUICKLY! How? We have now COMPLETELY
implemented our title designations of "ultra rare" and "rare" In all three
sets of auctions!If we have never auctioned the item before (or only once
before) we ALWAYS put "ultra rare" in the auction title, and we never put
it in the title if we auctioned it two or more times. Similarly, in all
three sets of auctions, if we have only auctioned the item exactly two or
three times before we ALWAYS put "rare" in the auction title, and we never
put it in the title if we auctioned it four or more times.AND WE NOW HAVE
SEARCH FILTERS THAT (with one click) LET YOU VIEW SOLELY THE "ULTRA RARE"
ITEMS (or solely the "ultra rare" AND "rare" items) EACH IN A SINGLE
GALLERY! AND THERE ARE DIRECT LINKS TO BOTH GALLERIES AT THE TOP OF OUR
SEARCH FILTER LIST (located at the top left of each gallery, right below
where it says "Posters by Type").Of course if you are a collector who
doesn't much care about rarity you never have to use the above filters, but
if you DO care, this is a really wonderful addition! Something important to
note is that this ONLY tells you how many times WE auctioned the item, NOT
how many exist. And of course this means that the very first time we
auction ANYTHING (even a brand new 2024 poster!) it will initially be
listed as "ultra rare". This is just a limitation of the system, and you
just have to accept it. And we ARE human, and CAN make a mistake, and if we
do, just email us and we will fix it ASAP!Because our "every four week
auctions" combine all different types of items into one auction, there are
a number of groups of items very worthy of special mention:SPECIAL AND
UNUSUAL! This time only, we have FIFTY SIX cool and unusual "very
oversized" and "oversized" items at the very start of the auctions! All
these need to be sent in large (or very large) flat packages, and they
include a LOT of ultra-scarce items, including 5 HALF-SHEETS, 5 JUMBO
WINDOW CARDS, and 2 2 INSERTS are paperbacked or gelbacked (or unbacked,
but fragile) and need to be shipped in large flat packages!See them by
