I also understand that these U.K. changes are based on similar changes expected 
to come into place throughout the European Union in July 2021, where a 
consignment value under 150 EUR will apply:

So it seems this will become an issue when selling to all European customers, 
not just to U.K.

I’m hoping someone will write an informed article on how this will affect the 
collectors market so it all becomes clear!

Re: [MOPO] Changes to UK customs regulations

[John Reid]

Hi Caitlin
I sell a lot of items under £135 to customers in the U.K so the new system will 
not work for me. I’m afraid that I will have no choice but to stop sales to the 
UK from my website. Customers from the UK will still be able to purchase 
posters from my eBay store but the new rules mean that they will definitely 
have to pay VAT through eBay which they won’t like. As for items over £135, 
customers often ask that sellers declare a low value and that won’t be an 
option under the new rules.
Regards
John

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Changes to UK customs regulations

Hi John,

I agree this is all extremely annoying, but a couple of things to note from 
reading the complex guidance on this...

As far as I understand it, this new rule only applies to consignments with a 
total value under £135, so if you are shipping consignments to the U.K. with a 
value OVER £135 - existing U.K. import rules apply and you can opt for import 
vat to be charged to the importer (your customer) and I don’t think you would 
need to register for U.K. vat.

VAT on consignments UNDER £135 is now classed as ‘Supply VAT’ rather than 
import VAT and the supplier will now be responsible for accounting for that at 
the point of sale and would need to register for U.K. vat.

So, I am no expert, but it seems a way around having to register for U.K. vat 
is not to sell anything under £135 to U.K. customers unless they buy more than 
one item so that the total consignment values over £135? The downside is you 
may lose U.K. customers who don’t want to pay the U.K. import Vat.

The other point to note is that if you are selling to a U.K. customer through 
an online marketplace, the online marketplace is responsible for collecting the 
vat, not you. So again that would be another potential way around it - 
directing U.K. customers to purchase through an online marketplace rather than 
direct on your website.

See full details here
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/changes-to-vat-treatment-of-overseas-goods-sold-to-customers-from-1-january-2021/changes-to-vat-treatment-of-overseas-goods-sold-to-customers-from-1-january-2021

“Direct sellers - businesses making sales direct to GB customers rather than 
via an OMP: Businesses making sales of goods not exceeding £135 in value (per 
consignment) to customers in the UK, where the goods are outside the UK at the 
point of sale, will become liable to register and account for VAT on those 
sales.”

I also understand that these U.K. changes are based on similar changes expected 
to come into place throughout the European Union in July 2021, where a 
consignment value under 150 EUR will apply:

https://www.globalvatcompliance.com/eu-new-vat-rules-applying-to-b2c-e-commerce-trades-in-the-european-union-as-of-1-july-2021/?cn-reloaded=1

So it seems this will become an issue when selling to all European customers, 
not just to U.K.

collectors market so it all becomes clear!

Re: [MOPO] Paypal's refund policy

[John Reid]

Hi Helmut
I think this illustrates my concern. Paypal fees are a lot more than 0.40 cents 
for refunds but many sellers are simply not aware of this.

Here is an example

A buyer purchases an item for $300.00 and pays by Paypal - their fee is approx. 
12.00
Buyer changes their mind and requests refund. Seller refunds the $300.00

Paypal still charges the seller 12.00 despite the fact that the transaction has 
been cancelled and the money refunded. This all started in Oct last year.

Rich,

the ridiculous Paypal fees are not limited to ebay. When somebody sends me 
money and I refund the full amount, Paypal still charges me some kind of 
'transaction fee'. It's 'only' 40 cents or something, but for an enterprise 
like Paypal it should add up to a nice extra profit.

It seems to me that 'ebay managed payments' is exactly what I expected it to 
be. I'm so glad I closed my ebay shop instead of prolonging my subscription for 
another year. I could use the extra income of course, but with all the hassle 
involved, it's just not worth it.

Re: [MOPO] Paypal's refund policy

[John Reid]

Well, actually the problem is exactly the same for pros and casual sellers 
although it is certainly worse on eBay. If someone purchases something but 
changes their mind and wants a refund, the seller refunds the money. However, 
Paypal keeps the original fee that the seller was charged. 

There is no getting around that irrespective of how many transactions you make 
(and I have made many, many thousands through Paypal through my website and 
eBay). This policy is something that was introduced a year ago and it is one 
reason why some of the larger companies no longer accept Paypal. I agree that 
there are a lot of good things about Paypal but this policy is not one of them. 
In fact, many sellers have no idea that the policy exists.

Re: [MOPO] Paypal's refund policy

[John Reid]

I was also forced to sign up for Managed payments and they have just kicked
in for my two ebay stores. I didn't know about the FVF on Sales Tax but I
guess they will be doing that with all taxes inc GST.

Sue is 100% correct!!  Ebay has never done this till recently.

 

They are now also forcing sellers to be part of this "Managed Payments" scam
where they now control all of your money so they can hold onto it for days
and get the interest.

 

Instead of sellers having instant access to their money from PayPal, that is
no more.  Ebay will hold onto it and give it back to you in dribs and drabs.
I'm suppose to get paid daily but sometimes it takes 5 or 6 days to get
paid.

 

Ebay says "Managed Payments" is so much easier and less expensive for
sellers but as it turns out, especially now that they're including the Final
Value Fee on the State Sales Tax, it's more expensive.

 

Since I was forced to go on "Managed Payments" early last month, I believe
that is when they started taking the Final Value Fee on the sales tax for
me.

Hi to everyone and hope you are all well in these difficult times

 

I am just curious as to what some of the dealers in this group think of
Paypal's refund policy eg:

 

If you need to refund a customer because they changed their mind, made a
mistake, thought they were purchasing a video, over paid on postage, etc
etc, Paypal refuses to refund the fee on the portion of the refund. 

 

I think it is very poor service to keep the fees even when the full amount
has been refunded through no fault of the seller. What do you all think?

I am just curious as to what some of the dealers in this group think of 
Paypal’s refund policy eg:

 

If you need to refund a customer because they changed their mind, made a 
mistake, thought they were purchasing a video, over paid on postage, etc etc, 
Paypal refuses to refund the fee on the portion of the refund. 

 

I think it is very poor service to keep the fees even when the full amount has 
been refunded through no fault of the seller. What do you all think?

 

 

Regards

 

John

Re: [MOPO] I just said good-bye to my ebay store

[John Reid]

I have been on ebay since 1998 and have had two stores for many years. The bulk 
of my business is through my website but I have always felt that it is good to 
have ebay as a backup. There have been many changes to ebay over the years and 
they have often made life very difficult for sellers. One of the most 
incomprehensible changes happened when they decided to take a commission out of 
postage charges. Many sellers couldn’t believe that they could do this but they 
have continued with it for a long time and I still think it is morally 
reprehensible. In recent times, Paypal have made an equally unfair decision to 
keep fees when a seller has to refund a customer. So, if a seller has to send a 
refund to a customer because he thought he was buying a DVD instead of poster, 
Paypal do not refund their fees.

 

The latest “innovation” is ebay plus where sellers get higher visibility by 
providing Free Shipping, Express post and one day handling. Of course, many 
sellers have just increased their prices to absorb the free shipping. I don’t 
like the global shipping system and won’t buy anything that uses it. It means 
higher postage costs and longer delivery times and takes control from the 
seller so it doesn’t suit me at all.

 

Shipping from Australia to the US has been greatly affected by Covid and there 
have been significant delays. I have found that buyers have been very 
understanding but one particular buyer lodged a case with ebay against me over 
a delay and I was pleasantly surprised that ebay were very understanding and 
sided in my favour. 

 

My sales on ebay have exceeded 7 figures over the years so despite all of the 
rule changes and glitches, I will continue to use them and try and adapt as 
best I can.

 

Regards

 

John

Subject: [MOPO] I just said good-bye to my ebay store

 

ebay has once again been pestering me lately, telling me I need to ‚adjust‘ my 
store listings to once again ‚comply‘ with their ‚new rules‘.

 

Today, I received another message from them, informing me some adjustments will 
soon become ‚mandatoy‘ and others will be ‚optional‘. 

 

Their decision to introduce mandatory ‚automatic renewal‘ some time ago already 
pushed me to the edge and I thought about canceling my store subscription back 
then. 

 

Now they are at it AGAIN. Whatever their new rules might be, I don‘t even want 
to know. My yearly subscription would‘ve ended in three days anyway, and after 
that I would‘ve been stuck with them for another year.

 

Not anymore. I just canceled my subscription, so on July 1, my ebay store will 
be history.

 

I was still making a little bit of money, but not nearly enough to take up with 
yet ANOTHER set of new rules and regulations. On top of their ridiculous fees, 
that is.

 

Also, in recent months, my quota of non-paying buyers has increased 
dramatically. That sellers are not allowed to leave appropriate feedback for 
deadbeat bidders is yet another thing that has bothered my since the day they 
introduced that policy.

 

I‘m buying and selling on ebay since 1999, so I have watched pretty much all of 
their so-called ‚improvements‘ over more than two decades by now. So far, I 
could still convince myself to stick with them, but not anymore. Enough is 
enough.

 

Helmut

Subject: [MOPO] It's Our SILVER Anniversary! 25 Years of MoPo!

 

Who would have thought MoPo would still be around 25 years after that first
listserv message was sent on February 24, 1995…be here we are

 

MoPo really started in 1994 when a small group of movie memorabilia
collectors found each other on Usenet (you youngsters may have to Google
that) and began CC’ing each other on e-mails discussing the hobby. It was a
primitive mailing list, but it worked. Then in early 1995 as our
distribution list grew, American University student Adam Ehrlich discovered
his school allowed students to set-up a listserv discussion group—for
free–and MoPo was officially launched. It’s interesting that once a list
begins, as long as it stays active and has a listowner (that would be ME!)
AU just lets it chug along even after a student graduates. Even more amazing
is that AU still maintains their listserv system at all. But a big thank you
is in order to American U for giving MoPo a home for all these years.

 

As is my annual tradition, I salute the original 11 who were here 25 years
ago today: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh
Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name
Static555), Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (sadly we lost Cindy in 2008, but her
husband Jay is still a MoPo member), myself, and of course, (former) AU
student Adam Ehrlich. I’m happy to report that in addition to Jay, Michael,
Rob and Evan are still with us 25 years later! 

 

It seems unreal that 25 years have passed since MoPo began…time does really
fly if you’ll pardon the cliché. I was an avid collector back at the
beginning, but as the years have passed (along with my hair line), I find
myself content with my collection as it is and have begun thinking about
what I’m going to do with all these beautiful images that are now living in
storage boxes. But every day I do enjoy looking at my favorites that have
been carefully framed and hang on the walls and they will probably be the
last to go should I ever decide to liquidate. (I have a feeling I’ll be
liquidated before those cherished gems are!) 

 

My thanks to all MoPo’ers, past and present, for a wonderful 25 years. Happy
Silver Anniversary MoPo!

 

Scott

MoPo List Owner

Re: [MOPO] Heritage auctions - why am I so confused on the bidding process?

[John Reid]

Not just you, Glenn. I find it confusing too. I think the auction I was bidding 
on has ended and I won one poster. The auction page says the poster has sold 
which presumably means the auction has ended but there is also a notice saying:

 

You are the current high bidder on this lot with a secret maximum bid of ….

Notice: You are the current high bidder on this lot, but the next highest bid 
is within one increment. That means that any additional bids on this lot will 
outbid you. To increase your chances of winning, enter your highest maximum 
bid.  

 

Not sure if the notice is a mistake or whether someone can still in fact outbid 
me..

 

Regards

 

John

What is the difference between the live bidding and the extended bidding. I was

Obviously my brain is not working. ' Cause I'm really confused on the bidding

Re: [MOPO] Heritage

[John Reid]

Yes, Tom this is the problem with the paperless society. You can lose 
everything if you are hacked. Cyber attacks have hit many major institutions 
and it seems to be getting worse. 
Three days offline is a huge problem for a company like Heritage and I wish 
them well and hope they will be able to get it sorted soon.

Re: [MOPO] Marilyn Monroe Autographed Photo

[John Reid]

Hi Channing 

If this came up for sale I think the buyer would want some good provenance to 
help authenticate it, bearing in mind the amounts that Marilyn Monroe 
autographs sell for. The signature does indeed look different from others 
although that does not necessarily mean it is not genuine. There is always a 
possibility that it could be secretarial. I think a potential buyer would want 
a lot more information about where and when it was obtained before purchasing. 
It would be hard to get it properly authenticated as it appears without any 
provenance.

 

Regards

Subject: [MOPO] Marilyn Monroe Autographed Photo

 

Hi Everyone — I have this vintage Marilyn Monroe photo that is autographed. The 
autograph looks different from the later 1950s ones 

 

I’ve seen but my gut instinct tells me this is an original autograph of the 
era. 

 

Does anyone care to offer an opinion? Take a look:

Many thanks for any input you can provide to help me with this.

 

Thanks, Channing

Re: [MOPO] The world's foremost movie poster collector, Richard Carson Allen, passed away on September 19th

[John Reid]

Hi to you all

I also have great memories of the hobby from years ago well before the
internet. 

 

On my regular trips to Los Angeles I would visit all of the many poster
related shops regularly and also attend the Ray Courts Shows as often as I
could. At the height of those shows they would have five rooms with many
dealers selling a huge range of posters. 

 

I  spent quite a bit of time in London during those years and I would often
spend a day traversing London's poster shops and galleries. Ed Mason had a
section in an Antique Gallery in The Kings Road in Chelsea and I learnt a
lot from him about British and European posters. He organized the
Westminster Movie Memorabilia Conventions that were held regularly in
London. I remember going to one back in the 90s and catching up with all of
the dealers there including Adrian Cowdry, John Kisch, Greg Edwards, Tim
Maddison and many more.

 

I used to visit Cinemonde in San Francisco and some of the other smaller
outlets where you could pick up some real bargains.

 

In the 80s and 90s in Australia, there were a few dealers who had retail
outlets and it was always fascinating to see what they had on display. Stars
Rock and Movie Posters in Sydney and Moviola in Melbourne were the two
biggest at the time. Keith Hutchinson from Stars used to send out a regular
magazine to clients and it is interesting to have a look through those
magazines now to compare prices. Harry Zac was another dealer in Melbourne
who seemed to have access to all of the great titles but he ultimately fell
on hard times and I haven't heard of him for years.

 

I used to advertise in Movie Collectors World, like many other dealers,
until ebay came along and changed everything. When I started on ebay back in
the 90s I used to run regular auctions and everything seemed to sell even
without pictures in the listings.

 

Things have changed a lot since then. There is so much more access to
memorabilia and it is obviously much easier for collectors to connect. One
thing that has really impacted the hobby is the volume of material that is
surfacing. Long time collectors parting with massive collections and new
collections turning up on a daily basis. I get a least one email a week from
people wanting to sell collections.

 

In recent times, I have taken quite a few trips to LA for the Hollywood Show
and it is great to be able to browse through the posters and lobby cards in
person albeit there are very few dealers at the show these days.

 

Although there has been a lot of change in the hobby it continues to be a
wonderful business to be a part of.

 

Regards

 

John

Hey Tom,

   We've been around this hobby for a long time.  All the names you brought
up have such great long time memories for me.  Long before MoPo and the
internet, all who you mention and the likes of Todd Feiertag, Ron Borst,
Eric Caiden, Eben Rogers, Crowell and Lorraine Beech, Doug Hart with Backlot
posters,  Rudy and Barbara, Jose Carpio with Cinemonde,  and so many others
that have woven the fabric of this hobby.  I dearly miss the ones that have
left us.  I miss going to the shows and catching up with everyone.  The
internet has changed all that.  I still have the fondest memories of waiting
outside Larry Edmunds Bookstore in Hollywood early on a Saturday morning in
1973 waiting for them to open the doors and to get in with my list.  I would
sit for hours on the floor going through boxes.  Did the same thing at
Morrie's shop on Hollywood Blvd.  Boy, those days were fun..anyway,
it's always so sad to hear of someone passing but, for me, it cuts a bit
deeper when it's someone that I've shared this hobby with.  

 

Best to all,

Sue Heim

Re: [MOPO] Moviemem site

[John Reid]

Hi Tom

I have been in Los Angeles for the last week and just arrived home. The 
certificate for the website was supposed to auto renew but it didn’t happen 
this time for some reason. We fixed it up as soon as we received your message 
but I couldn’t reach MoPo until I arrived back.

 

I guess the good thing is that it has shown that many people are looking at the 
site! I had quite a lot of messages from people about it so thanks to everyone 
who emailed me.

 

The annoying thing about these “certificates” is that there were actually no 
errors on the site. It was just a case of the yearly subscription not being 
renewed.

 

PS. The business name is actually Moviemem Original Movie Posters not Movie 
Memories.

 

Regards

 

John

Re: [MOPO] listing on ebay

[John Reid]

Just a heads up to those who are still using Turbo Lister. Every listing
that you make through TL includes a Turbo Lister logo and link which is
embedded in the program. These links now violate ebay policy even though
they supposedly link to an ebay page.

 

If you have used Turbo lister to create your listings on ebay, you will
eventually need to revise every listing to remove the TL link and logo.
Apparently they are going to start enforcing policy violations in regards to
links in the near future.

 

Turbo Lister is also not mobile responsive so that will create more problems
for anyone still using it.

 

Regards

 

John

Re: [MOPO] ebay and the so called announced end of turbo lister

[John Reid]

If you use Turbo Lister, there is an embedded logo and link that sellers will 
have to remove from all of their listings. Even though it is supposedly an ebay 
link it violates their new policy. Auctiva is OK but their tools for removing 
things like the Turbo Lister links, etc are not as effective as they could be.

 

Another thing for ebay sellers to cause some headaches is that all listings 
will soon need to be mobile responsive with appropriate viewport meta tags. 

 

Best thing is to keep the listings as simple and basic as possible – no fancy 
designs, no links of any kind, no contact details, etc etc

hi,  for those selling on ebay and using turbo lister things are let's say , 
not too clear  as for the future of the program , was announced to be cancelled 
june 2017 (never received any ebay message though) , is still active but new 
users can not (or are not supposed ) to be able to  get it and use it on ebay  
...

 

anyone  here uses an alternative for turbo lister she/he can recommend ?  and 
with alternative i do not mean  ebays hub seller 

i thought that  perhaps i should start thinking about an alternative for turbo 
lister as at some point they'll knock that rabbit in the neck

Re: [MOPO] Ebay Store query

[John Reid]

Hi Glenn

I have had 2 ebay stores since their inception. There have been many policy 
changes over the years that are a pain to deal with but I have sold a heck of a 
lot of posters so I guess it is well worthwhile. 

 

I also sell from my own website and that is a lot easier, more efficient and 
more productive. However, the ebay stores are a good alternative to have based 
on the “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” theory.

 

One thing that is time consuming with stores is that you constantly need to be 
relisting items, usually every 30 days. You can use the Good Til Canceled 
option but if you do that your listings get buried. 

 

The latest annoying change is that sellers have been advised that they must 
remove active content to make their listings mobile responsive. They do very 
little to help sellers with this and apparently they will soon be removing 
their major listing tool Turbo Lister. 

 

You need to keep tweaking keywords, etc to maintain high visibility for your 
listings. Stores don’t work for everyone but I am happy overall with the 
results over the years.

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

[John Reid]

I had a few hundred posters backed many years ago but rarely get anything
backed these days. I have found that posters that I had backed by some
restorers have deteriorated over the years, developing foxing and other
issues. Some of these posters now need to be rebacked.

I wrote two detailed articles about some of the pitfalls of linen backing
that might be of interest

Another year is in the books and today MoPo celebrates 22 years of survival.
The first automated MoPo message was sent via American University's listserv
on February 24, 1995.

 

There were 11 members at the beginning. so as I do on every anniversary,
here are the original MoPo pioneers:  Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob
Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff
Static (using his AOL name Static555), Adam Ehrlich, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes
(we lost Cindy in 2008, but her husband Jay is still a member), and myself.
In addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still MoPo members. 

 

We may be old school (some Millennials don't even know what a 'listserv'
is), we don't have the numbers we used to, and some of us have gone gray (or
have little hair left to turn gray--no names).but MoPo endures. Thanks for
hanging around and keeping MoPo alive. 22 years is a very long time in
Internet years!

[MOPO] FS: Movie posters from a Major Collection

[John Reid]

Hi to you all

Just letting you know that I have purchased a major collection of Australian
and International movie posters covering the 20s - 50s. Many of the
Australian posters have not been seen before and it has been a great
pleasure sorting through them all. I think it is fair to say that the price
paid for the posters would have to be the highest ever paid in Australia for
a single collection.

 

I am gradually listing them on a daily basis on my website www.moviemem.com
starting with the daybills. When they are all listed, I will move on to the
one sheets and international posters.

 

Many posters have sold in the last week or so and I am putting images of
sold items on my Facebook page when time permits.

https://www.facebook.com/moviememmovieposters/

 

I have had a lot of emails from collectors asking me what is coming in the
collection but all I can say is check the site on a regular basis as I won't
reveal them until they are actually listed. There will be plenty of the
classics, including Marilyn Monroe, Bogart, Errol Flynn, Serial posters, etc
coming soon!

 

I hope you enjoy the images.

Regards

John

Subject: Re: [MOPO] New California Autograph Sales Law

Hi Everyone ---

As many of you know, I mostly sell lobby cards and posters on Ebay and
occasionally sell original stills.  Very occasionally, some of the stills
are autographed. California has just passed an extremely onerous law
(AB-1570) that requires sellers of autographed items to provide a
ridiculously detailed Certificate of Authenticity. Here's a description of
the new law.
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520
160AB1570 The law is ambiguously worded, so it's somewhat unclear whether
this new obligation resides solely in connection with sales to California
buyers or if it applies to all sales that originate in California,
regardless of the state or country in which the buyer resides.  For now, I'm
thinking that on the rare occasion that I do have an autographed photo or
lobby card for sale, I will prohibit sales to residents of California, but
frankly, I'm not sure if that is enough to avoid having to issue COAs. 

What are the rest of the dealers doing in connection with this? I am curious
to hear your response.

Many thanks David for this insight into Adrian's thoughts.

Subject: [MOPO] Adrian Cowdry, 1964-2016

 

Adrian Cowdry, 1964-2016

 

* I'm writing this to amplify the dimensions of a charismatic man we have
all lost.  I never met Adrian in person.  But over two decades, we engaged
in zillions of conversations that went well beyond his known affection for
movie posters, World War II history, conservative U.K. politics, Harley
Davidson motorcycles - and of course, all things James Bond.

 

* Adrian was only 52 when he took his own life - and it appears that he
engineered his death to coincide with his birthday, which was two days ago,
on August 29.  He was a passionate thinker, going against the grain on many
issues, peppering his commentaries with hilariously worded language.
Standing at 6-5 - he was literally and figuratively a larger-than-life man.

 

* We shared dark ideologies about the meaning of life, politics and
families.  (He leaves behind a wife and three grown children.)  While I do
not know how Adrian chose to end his life - nor the specific catalysts that
spurred him - our many exchanges included emails (which I've spent hours
re-reading today) - which suggest how death - whether by natural causes or
otherwise - was regarded as a matter-of-fact subject for both of us - albeit
for different reasons.

 

* (NOTE:  the following is my opinion, not necessarily factual).  In my
view, Adrian's feelings about suicide had hardened during the past 10 years.
It is also my view that he was NOT mentally ill, which is a reflexive
diagnosis given by others who react to this type of horror.  I believe
Adrian's views solidified as the result of at least three gigantic events:
1) getting cancer in 2008 and joining the list of millions of "survivors"
who go into remission - but are forever haunted by its possible return; 2)
the suicide of his terminally ill father in December 2013; and, 3) the death
of his mother just 36 hours later, by, in Adrian words, "a broken heart."
His parents had been married for 50 years.  

 

* For all his joviality and cutting wit - Adrian was a serious and practical
man - who strived for perfection in everything he did.  Today, as I reflect
on his great but short life, I am struck by the following passages,
excerpted over several emails we exchanged in 2013 and 2014.  These are
Adrian's own words:

 

* "There is an argument for euthanasia and assisted suicide. You would not
allow a dog to suffer in this way. The arguments about playing god are
strong - but not as strong as (making sure that) your loved ones do not
suffer..."

 

* "Like you, I do not have any religious bent, I do not condemn anyone their
faith - but I cannot believe in an all seeing creator. I do believe, however
- that our bodies are not the be all and end all...I firmly believe that
souls live on.  Whether they remain to help loved ones - or to just keep an
eye (on us) - I am not sure.  But I often feel the presence of folk from my
past who were close to me.  And I often dream that I am conversing and
perhaps even receiving messages from them, (such as), "tell so and so not to
worry about us, because all is well..."  This could be my subconscious
speaking - for which I have no explanation - so I go with the flow and
accept them for what they are - that they are dreams with possible
messages."

 

* "And like you I (sometimes) feel the presence of someone (who has passed).
My great uncle was a master baker who taught me a lot about cooking.  He was
from Yorkshire and he taught me how to make Yorkshire puds by (a strict)
rule of thumb.  And every time I make them, I remember how he used to say to
me, "you're doing good, lad."  And as you say, I do remember facial
expressions and idiosyncrasies.  I'd like to think (there is more to life)
than just conception (and) death.  I do feel that the soul lives on."

 

* "I often feel that folk gain comfort knowing their loved ones are (always)
around.  Love is such a strong emotion that keeps those who have passed - in
one's mind.  And in many ways - this keeps them (forever) alive. ...(But)
you would not allow a dog to suffer.  No human should go through this.  Your
dad will be at peace when he passes and you will remember the better times
before this last phase of his life."

 

* BTW, in the last excerpt - Adrian is referring to struggles I had with my
Dad, who passed away last year from Alzheimer's.  It is obvious, when I read
Adrian's own hand - that he was a deep thinker, a philosopher, a man in
touch with his accomplishments - as well as a man with a tactile sense of
humanity, of suffering, of his own mortality, trying to gain full control
and measure of his own destiny - instead of being dragged behind it.  

 

* Like everyone else, I grieve for him and will miss him tremendously.  But
I'm comforted that

the reality about HA is, regardless of their buyer's premiums and regardless
of complaints that some people in some quarters have in unendurable
quantity, they bring tons of great items to market that might otherwise not
be seen in any auction due to their ability to find long hidden items

can't handle the emails?
don't read them

learn math & bid less to assess the proper bid to achieve the maximum bid
you want to associate with your win
or just don't bid.

don't forget, you may be selling your stuff someday and hands-down, Heritage
gets the highest prices overall. This benefits consignors and that could be
you!
Would you prefer seeing your valuables sold for $1, $2, $5, $10?

HA is great. I get lots of great posters for my collection from them all
year long, which I think.. is supposed to be the result of collecting, isn't
it?

Re: [MOPO] Excalibur Auctions Movie Memorabilia Auction May 28

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

There is no doubt that the Excalibur photos could certainly be a lot better. 

 

However, there are times when the professionally taken photos in various major 
auctions makes the posters look much better than they actually are. Some 
photographers use a vacuum press which completely eliminates the foldlines and 
creases. Whilst they are striving to provide top quality photos, I sometimes 
wonder if it would be better to show the poster as it actually is.

Thank you John for the video.  There is a station here in my area that plays

very tiny.  Around 5', if that.  My step-Mom's company is one of the largest

of that.  I did two television movies with her, along with Fred Astaire,
Helen Hayes, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr...and others.  She was so much fun.  Just a
hoot.  It was sort of surreal to me at the time because I was very young and
had grown up watching her on The Patty Duke Show in the 60's.  She could
switch from being a kook to being totally serious at the drop of a
pinshe was a very good actress...and just a great person...

[MOPO] FS: Largest Collection of Long Daybill Movie Posters

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Happy New Year to all 

 

I have been gradually loading what I think will be the largest collection of
long daybill movie posters ever to be seen in one place. I know that might
sound like a big statement but I don't know of anywhere else that has this
many rare pre war daybills. Long daybills were printed up until 1941 and
often featured spectacular and unique art. Many of them are incredibly rare
and some may well be the only known posters. I have listed a couple of
hundred over the last week or so. Some have sold very quickly and there are
more to come over the next week or so. 

 

They are well worth a look ..

Re: [MOPO] Dating a US 3 sheet

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Well, I guess my dating days are long gone and I only use that word when trying 
to come up with a release date for a poster now!

Up until now, no one has been able to accurately date the US international 
posters for Never So Few.

Bruce has come up with the answer to this  and many thanks to him for getting 
back to me. 

Comparing that number to our massive database of litho numbers, we can say 
with a very high certainty that the int'l release is from exactly 1964 (which 
makes perfect sense, because that is when McQueen became a superstar, after The 
Great Escape).

That indicates that those litho numbers are important in determining release 
dates of US posters that do not have the dates

Re: [MOPO] Missing posters

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Phillip

I thought there might be at least some films where a US poster has never been 
seen and that MoPo members would know about those. It is certainly the case 
with Australian posters. An example is with Dracula 1931. To the best of my 
knowledge no Australian poster has ever been seen. Maybe US posters have 
surfaced for every film.

John

John,

 

Not to put too fine a point on it, but your query implied two different 
questions, at least to me. 

 

Regarding “…I wouldn’t be surprised if something had surfaced on just about 
every film post 1930’s…”; that is no doubt true. However, in some cases what 
has surfaced might be some lobby cards or a pressbook, but maybe not an insert, 
one sheet or anything larger.

 

However, regarding: “…(I) wonder if there are any American posters that. have 
not been seen – not just for very obscure films but for reasonably well known 
movies.”; I think that is true also.

 

We know that various early Universal horror images (especially 3 or 6 sheets) 
are unknown except for the BW images in pressbooks. 

 

As rare as some of them are, it appears that just about every one sheet has 
surfaced for 3 Stooges shorts and many Chaplain and Keaton short as well, yet 
there seem to be numerous Hal Roach/Laurel and Hardy shorts for which I have 
never seen any one-sheets. Also, except for pressbooks or lobby cards, some of 
the Universal Buck Jones films like Rocky Rhodes and his serials there are 
almost non-existent or only exist as re-release paper.  I am sure there are 
also other or better examples than those that come to mind at first thought.

There has been some discussion on VMPF on films where no Australian posters

posters that have not been seen – not just for very obscure films but for 
reasonably well known movies. There seems to be so much US material out there 
that I wouldn’t be surprised if something had surfaced on just about every film

Saw this news story recently about auction of some of Attenborough's

At some point during release, Pathe pressed for a shorter cut and a change of

Don't recall seeing this daybill before, presumably very rare?

 

And is that it for the daybill, just with that title?

There is no definitve list but, as an example, I am pretty much aware of US
posters that have turned up for Hitchcock films. I'm sure that genre
specific collectors have a very good idea of what has or has not turned up
in their field of interest. That's why I thought people on MoPo might have

Perhaps they need to lift their game. If ebay can require all sellers to 
specify postage costs up front then why shouldn’t it happen at major auctions? 

 

On another note, at least Heritage actually has a shipping department. Some 
auction houses don’t ship items at all. They want international bidders but 
they ask the buyer to arrange postage through a third party.

The uncertainty about international postage costs at Heritage has put me off 
bidding from time to time. You have to factor in the cost of postage to 
determine whether it is worth bidding, particularly on lower value items. If 
you don’t know how much postage will be prior to bidding it makes it very 
difficult. On higher value items it is not so important. My last two purchases 
have been for very large posters and postage charges for those were reasonable.

 

I sell a heck of a lot of posters on ebay and they do things very differently 
there. Buyers on ebay expect full tracking and insurance plus gorilla proof 
packaging but they also expect very low postage charges. If you charge what is 
perceived as being too much for postage you get trashed in the ratings. I often 
lose money on postage and I’m sure other sellers are in the same position. 

 

Postage costs will continue to rise and I certainly understand that Heritage 
cannot be expected to lose money on postage and packaging but I would like to 
know how much postage will be before I bid.

To be fair, and correct me if I am wrong, but no other movie poster auction 
house (except one) can tell you what the item will cost before sending should 
you win the auction.

 

Perhaps they need to lift their game. If ebay can require all sellers to 
specify postage costs up front then why shouldn’t it happen at major auctions? 

 

On another note, at least Heritage actually has a shipping department. Some 
auction houses don’t ship items at all. They want international bidders but 
they ask the buyer to arrange postage through a third party.

The uncertainty about international postage costs at Heritage has put me off 
bidding from time to time. You have to factor in the cost of postage to 
determine whether it is worth bidding, particularly on lower value items. If 
you don’t know how much postage will be prior to bidding it makes it very 
difficult. On higher value items it is not so important. My last two purchases 
have been for very large posters and postage charges for those were reasonable.

 

I sell a heck of a lot of posters on ebay and they do things very differently 
there. Buyers on ebay expect full tracking and insurance plus gorilla proof 
packaging but they also expect very low postage charges. If you charge what is 
perceived as being too much for postage you get trashed in the ratings. I often 
lose money on postage and I’m sure other sellers are in the same position. 

 

Postage costs will continue to rise and I certainly understand that Heritage 
cannot be expected to lose money on postage and packaging but I would like to 
know how much postage will be before I bid.

our faves and biases about who's great, who's good and who we should avoid

known scammers who have been dragged into courts or in the news media - have
allies on these boards.  Just keep in mind that the lion's share of
contributors are merchants peddling their goods - and to be fair, most have
a lot of expertise, e.g., the recent discussion of The Third Man was
especially enlightening.  

But the downside of merchant dominance on public forums like MoPo is I can
only count on one hand the number of pure consumers and non-full-time
sellers who choose to contribute to MoPo REGULARLY.  It's too brutal for
them because they fear being attacked by paper cuts of sarcasm.  The vast
majority of MoPo's small membership are customer lurkers who are being
offended every week - whose identities I learn about via private messaging
as a consumer advocate.  Even the marketing of goods, which is a primary
service provided on these boards - is fraught with controversy.  If some
forum members believe it's done too frequently - or - in the eyes of some,
too flamboyantly - (as some felt Bruce H. did before he left MoPo) - this is
frowned upon, esp. benchmark-based advertising which compares merchants with
other merchants.  What's common everywhere in advertising is taboo here -
yet the disapproval, in my view, is expressed most loudly - and almost
entirely by competing merchants, not consumers. -d.

Since March 2012, I have bought a total of 182 items from HA, ranging in
price from $16 to $621. They have obviously posted many packages to me in
that time, and mostly without any complaint on my part about shipping costs.
Recently, however, I have had cause to question the cost. The last shipment
I received was initially invoiced to me at $147.06, which I queried. I was
informed that HA had charged me at Fedex retail rate and not their
discounted rate, so the invoice was reduced

Scott:
Let me add my congratulations to those you've already received.
I 'll bet that most of us who are still on the list are glad that MoPo still
exists and that contacts with other obsessive collectors can still be easily
made. It's true that some of the discussions and topics being discussed are
a bit thinner than they have been in the past...after all, we have lost some
significant voices, and there other voices who post much less frequently  (
I miss hearing from Steve Olson, Michael Tupy, Dario Casadei, and that
lawyer named Claude who was so smart and tart). I myself post less
frequently, partly because I am getting old and really have to bring my
collecting days to a close. At present, I am more interested in selling my
posters and have begun the process of thinning out and breaking up my
collections.
Yet, you still have a very interesting bunch of people who remain on the
list. So much so that I never ignore the posts of the current members. I
read them all, and am especially interested when someone sends along
information, or links, on various subjects of general interest...new
catalogues, auctions that go beyond the sphere of the online world, articles
and illustrations about posters in new books or websites, museum
exhibitions, and so forth. And I love it when John Reid posts one of his
galleries of posters in his possession...a 'themed presentation' that is
almost always really interesting. ( It's time for another one, John!)
My point is that even after 20 years and a new configuration of 'active
posters and lurkers, there is still much to be interested by on MoPo, and
I am so glad that it is still around and so glad to have the opportunity to
reach out to other members if and when I might need them.
so...THANKS FOR STICKING IT OUT!!

Well we made it to 20 after all!

 

Today marks MoPo's 20th Anniversary. For the last couple of years, our
anniversary has been preceded by a discussion about how little we actually
discuss posters on this forum. This year it was John Reid's February 12th
post, How MoPo has Changed, pointing out the lack of discussion or comment
on movie posters. In 2014, in time for our 19th birthday, Helmut posted an
analysis of MoPo posts (84% were either auction or for sale posts) and
former member Bruce H. mentioned how 2 other poster forums are pretty dead.
I find it just an interesting coincidence that this seems to happen just
about every February 24th! But no matter.MoPo is still chugging along.

 

We've survived longer than I ever dreamed (much longer than the majority of
Hollywood marriages). On February 24, 1995 the first official MoPo post was
distributed via American University's listserv. There were 11 members at the
start, and as is my annual custom, I recognize these MoPo pioneers:  Mahtab
Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan
Zweifel, George Nichol, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (we lost Cindy in 2008, but
her husband Jay is still a member), Jeff Static (AOL'er Static555), Adam
Ehrlich and myself. In addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still
members.

 

Last year I wondered whether MoPo would make it to 20, or if it even should.
Well, here we are and I guess we'll soldier on.at least until American
University decides to shut down their listserv! I do hate to see longtime
members leave, (Poster seller Bruce Hershenson and the prolific Tom Martin
are 2 examples of people who exited this past year), but that's the way of
Internet forums. 

 

Thanks to all of you for keeping this relic of the 20th century alive for
yet another year!

all of these forums ebb  flow
in movie posters it's expected because the hobby is so small and none of the 
groups ever had more than a few hundred members

contrast this with the CGC comics forums which has 50,000 members but the hobby 
numbers hundreds of thousands or maybe a couple million

the same people can only say the same things so many times

all of these forums ebb  flow
in movie posters it's expected because the hobby is so small and none of the 
groups ever had more than a few hundred members

contrast this with the CGC comics forums which has 50,000 members but the hobby 
numbers hundreds of thousands or maybe a couple million

the same people can only say the same things so many times

Not only is the clock counting down but so is the Australian dollar! With just 
hours to go before the auction ends today is a good day to make a killing when 
you bid on a vintage movie poster on BIDLL.

Here's a few random examples: 

1.Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) - Very Rare, On Linen, Very Good - 
Fine

Average price sold in the last 4 years was USD$2425

Re: [MOPO] Australian dollar tumbles even more overnight

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Yes, the low Australian dollar makes prices very attractive, particularly for 
those in the US. I just had a look through the auctions and there seems to be a 
lot of interest and bidding! There are some truly rare posters in the auction. 
Material on Blackmail is incredibly scarce and the long daybill might not be 
offered again. It will be interesting to see the final results but I’m sure it 
will be a success for you.

Re: [MOPO] All 335 poster are available for preview

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Congratulations to David on putting this great auction together. It can only be

I have no doubts at all that it will be a success.

Subject: [MOPO] All 335 poster are available for preview

 

All checked, and cross checked (I hope!), I've now finished loading the last 
few stragglers and even in those last few there were some very nice ones I must 
say - there is 335 original movie posters for you to enjoy. As a result I have 
watched a hell of a lot of movie trailers (because a lot of the listings have 
the original movie trailer for you to watch) and I can safely say my movie list 
has expanded, not just the international stuff but there is a lot of Australian 
movies that really deserves a look.

I also want to say a big thanks to all the consignors (I won't mention them all 
by name), they're all Australian based and have really supported this event, 
more so for what it is about: Australian produced movie posters AND movie 
posters for Australian made movies.

I do have to give a special thanks to John Reid and Phil Edwards, both of whom 
have really offered a lot of advice, suggestions and of course ultimately their 
support, without it this may have never happened.

Of course, whatever happens now is out of my hands, but getting this many 
pieces together, some exceedingly rare, has made this event a success no matter 
what the numbers come out like at the end. So, if you are not bidding but know 
someone who might like to, send them along; but if you are bidding, good luck 
and Bid Well...

BIDLL!

[MOPO] One of the great collectors

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Apart from being an accomplished Comedian and Game Show host, Bob Monkhouse
was also a passionate collector of movie memorabilia. He amassed a truly
gigantic collection of posters, scripts, films and other memorabilia. His
passion for collecting verged on the obsessive. When he passed away, it was
discovered that he had many films in his collection that had previously been
thought lost including episodes of TV series that had been wiped by the BBC
after screening. His collection proved to be of immense value, not only in
monetary terms but also as an historical record of British TV and cinema.

Re: [MOPO] One of the great collectors

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

That’s a great ad Richard – coming back from the dead! There was definitely a 
love/hate relationship with British audiences but he was certainly very 
talented.

 

I have met quite a few collectors who have been equally if not more obsessive 
but it was good that he managed to save some of those lost BBC productions.

Yep, it’s good.

 

Very interesting bloke, though I spent a lot of my earlier life unaware of 
that, and along with a lot of people disliking him intensely.

 

Sad really, that he spent a lot of his career as a particularly oily gameshow 
host, and only started getting his reputation back later in life.

 

I think he actually went way over the verge with obsessive, if any of us think 
we’ve got it bad….

 

Nice bit of work he did after he died:

Hi John,

 

I think your website looks fantastic. Really easy to navigate, clean and
concise. Lots of attractive buttons on the homepage to entice the buyer to
search further. Informative  colourful with a great range of items, which I
think all make your website 'sharable' on social media :-)

 

A huge well done :-) Will be following suit very soon with my own site as
it's been nearly four years now and I've managed on my own for this long
(but I need some 'proper' help now).

Re: [MOPO] What makes London After Midnight so valuable?

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

All very good points Adrian

I just keep getting back to the fact that virtually no living soul has actually 
seen this film. The stills might show iconic images and it might have been 
fairly ground breaking at the time but I wonder if it would be a disappointment 
if it turned up today. 

I think Tom was right on the mark when he talked about hype.

I don’t want to denigrate the poster in any way but I just find it interesting 
the way values are put on movie posters. It goes to show what a subjective 
thing it all is.  Let’s say a one sheet for Hitchcock’s Blackmail turned up. To 
me, that would leave London After Midnight for dead but I doubt it would go for 
anything close to the 400k plus.

I suppose there might be other rare “one of a kind” posters for truly great 
films of the era that wouldn’t go close to the price achieved by London After 
Midnight. 

It all seems to be part of the Horror/Universal Horror phenomenon that has 
separated that genre from all others in our hobby.

Regards

John

Subject: Re: [MOPO] What makes London After Midnight so valuable?

 

The fact that hardly anything survives on this film - so yes the rarity makes 
it valuable.

The film is unseen and is an icon of the silent horror films - having read the 
recent recreation in book form it's a bit cheesy - not quite up to Dracula 
but it certainly trawls along with those silent Horror's of the time - perhaps 
not as good as Nosferatu but certainly it has iconic images of Lon Chaney. 

The poster surely drops into the same vein as the Universal Monsters that reach 
very high prices - how many of those posters are available? How man London 
After Midnight?

As we all know Horror and Sci Fi are the big parts of this hobby that grab the 
attention of collectors - Metropolis, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula, and 
even the more common titles Forbidden Planet, Day the Earth Stood Still - all 
are innovative films and stand tall in cinema history.

Perhaps that is the main reason London After Midnight is worth so much - I 
should add that the price paid for this poster is what the buyer wanted to pay 
and it is that valuable to him and possibly the underbidder - an item like this 
will garner such attention but it comes down to what the buyer wants to pay - 
if it were a King Kong three sheet or Outlaw six sheet that there are enough in 
circulation to have a going rate. London After Midnight is one poster that will 
reach it's own level of value. So is it such an innovative film to garner this 
much value? Probably. I would say that is the main reason this poster is this 
valuable = or the buyer decided he would pay this much for the poster because 
it is an innovative film and it is extremely rare.

It is an interesting question that you raise John - because I would ask why 
certain posters have become so valuable - not quite in the same vein but why is 
Attack of the 50ft Woman got such a price tag? And why has Breakfast at 
Tiffany's got such a price tag?


50ft Woman has a great cheesy image but the film is not innovative, it has to 
be one of the worst movies of the sci fi era yet the poster has a high price 
tag compared to say Invaders from Mars or The Astounding She Monster. And 
Brealfast at Tiffany's we all know is the ladies favorite and presents Audrey 
Hepburn in the little black number by Dior yet it is relatively common - I have 
had this discussion with good friends within the business and hobby and we are 
of the opinion that some posters reach prices that they shouldn't - yes those 
of us lucky enough to be selling such posters are happy but the question I ask 
is why are such posters tagged with a high price? No one can say these two 
films are innovative - a 50ft Woman wandering about the country and a film 
about a sophisticated call girl (if it were the book of Tiffany's with Miss 
Golightly the fragile creature who has a wing or two down then I can understand 
but the film is not that great - in my opinion).

I would be  interested in your opinions as to what makes London After Midnight 
such a valuable poster.

 

Obviously, it’s rarity is a factor and the artwork is impressive but there are 
plenty of other rare posters from that era for truly great films that wouldn’t 
go for even a fraction of the price that was achieved on the weekend.

Re: [MOPO] Talk About Timing...

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

There is a distinction between repros/fakes and original posters that are 
misrepresented. Reissues are often sold as original on ebay and this is 
particularly prevalent with Australian posters which are not dated. Many 
sellers on ebay use the excuse that they are only casual sellers and not 
experts but the end result is that buyers get ripped off. Mistakes do happen 
from time to time but I have often found that when I contact the seller to let 
them know that the poster they are selling is a reissue, they do nothing to 
correct the listing. 

 

This is a big problem on ebay and I don’t think ebay has a clue as to how to 
address it.

Just wondering who among the Mopo membership has had any sort of relationship

McDowall in a pub in Kew, London (he drank pints of Bloody Marys). Liam Neeson 
lived round the corner from me for many years and my wife and his sister were 
very close friends - she cuddled him as a baby. Who did (do) you know?

* For the scant few who regard Bruce with antipathy, please delete this
message.

* For the rest, Bruce posted an update in his e-mail club today about the
recovery of 5 of 10 linen-backed posters stolen earlier this year from a
collector in Los Angeles.  Unfortunately, the pricier ones are still at
large, but the good news is this is yet another illustration of how - over
the years - the hobby's membership has worked together to identify and
eradicate the Ebola-like carriers/scammers - large and small - out.  -d.


UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters (mostly valuable linen-backed
one-sheets) Report
 In club message 709
https://www.emovieposter.com/club/returnmessage.php?id=776 , we reported
on a stolen group of valuable framed movie posters in Los Angeles. This
week, we received a message from the collector who reports:

I thought I would update you as there has been an important development.
Six posters from the stolen group did emerge last week when they were
offered to a local gallery owner. She recognized them immediately and
alerted me, at which time I notified the LAPD. The detective had no interest
in trying to get to the bottom of it, so thankfully the gallery owner worked
it out where the posters were returned to me, and I did pay a reward to the
person who brought them to her, as they were clearly not involved in their
theft.

The posters recovered are: Our Blushing Brides, City Streets, Dance Team,
Big Executive, Derelict. All one sheets, and I am very happy to have them
back in the collection. 

The missing one sheets remain:
Devil Is Driving one-sheet
Riding For Justice one-sheet
Notorious French 23x33
Shall We Dance one-sheet
Pioneer Scout one-sheet

So, sadly the pricier posters are still out there somewhere, but it is quite
possible the thieves will try to sell those as well very soon. Thanks for
spreading the word!

Here is our original report:

We recently received this very sad news from a long time major collector who
lives in the Los Angeles area:

I had a whole bunch of framed posters (almost all one-sheets, and all
linenbacked and framed) stolen when I moved into a new house. I'll list them
here just in case someone offers them to you, or anyone in your e-mail club.

Title and size:
Devil Is Driving one-sheet
Big Executive one-sheet
Derelict one-sheet
Riding For Justice one-sheet
Notorious French 23x33
Shall We Dance one-sheet
Our Blushing Brides one-sheet
Dance Team one-sheet
Pioneer Scout one-sheet
City Streets one-sheet

REPLY FROM BRUCE: That is really sad about the robbery. It is awful there
are such low people in the world. I will definitely keep on the lookout for
these posters. Now that the list of them has run here in the e-mail club,
many thousands of collectors are aware of what the titles are, and that make
it much harder for the crooks to sell them. 
URGENT: If anyone reading this has even the slightest clue as to who stole
these (or if anyone offers you valuable framed linenbacked posters), please
report it, and you may be in line for a substantial reward.

Hi to you all

Can anybody shed some light on when a full set of 8 USA lobby cards 
were released for the theatrical release of McQueen's 'An Enemy Of The 
People' ? Some research says cards were released at the time of test 
screening but only with text reviews on them and no images. Other 
research articles say cards were released as normal with images but in 
very short supply because of the very limited screening by Warner bros 
due to the inability to market the film. I understand a USA one sheet 
was released with images of McQueen from his past movies but was this 
at the time of the film's production 1978 or at a re-release - after 
his death and the same for the lobby cards? Also what is the original 
classification between the 1978 and post 1980 release? To anybody that 
may have original 1978 lobbies, I have been told a hit squad is on its 
way to secure them from a certain mopoer...

Ben and I have been chatting about this subject the past few days.
IMDB says the film was not released domestically in 1978 but that it was
released internationally

however, a scan of Heritage archives shows 2 one sheets, both of which have
a G rating on them and a 1978 date.
Also some lobby cards are known to exist with the
1978 printing, but they are not traditional lc's and are the 11x14 litho
styles commonly used for international distribution

It is possible the one sheets are 1982 posters with an original production
date on them, however it is also possible that the posters were printed for
an original release and never distriobuted.

I suspect Freeman Fisher may be able to shed some light on the issue, if he
sees this email

Re: [MOPO] The real cost of selling via eBay

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Doesn’t surprise me at all and the costs are actually more for me as I have to 
absorb GST on each transaction and postage costs.

 

I do think that a lot of people who sell low value items either lose money or 
barely break even by selling on ebay. Unfortunately, they just don’t realise it 
because the costs are spread over a lot of areas.

I don't sell via eBay, I read a lot of comments about ALL the fees eBay 
charges, and it seems the list gets longer by the day as they dip deeper into 
your pocket! All this must have a knock on effect on the prices you charge and 
so I wondered if you knew how much you really make when you sell an item on 
eBay (once ALL the fees are deducted)?

Well here's a fantastic little website calculator (nothing to do with me) that 
does the calculations for you: https://salecalc.com/

For instance: just Joe-Average eBay seller who who bought a poster for $5 and 
is now reselling it for $15 plus (say) $10 postage will pay over 15% in fees.

OVER FIFTEEN PERCENT!!!

Check it out - do the figures will surprise you?

Re: [MOPO] MoviePosterBid Auctions being rescheduled and other notices about the future of auctions

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Tom
Postage is one of the biggest problems for dealers these days - particularly
in sending packages from Australia to the US. There is no getting around the
increases in costs and that is ultimately reducing the cost of lower end
stock even further.

Here is an example. I recently sold a lot of items on ebay for 2.99 each.
Commission on the sale was 0.30 which sounds OK.
However, there was also a commission on the postage of 1.20 for domestic
postage and 1.70 for international postage

My postage charges barely cover the actual cost. If you inflate the postage
price to cover the commission buyers will be turned off. Many dealers forget
about factoring in the commission on postage when setting prices on ebay. It
is pretty obvious that it is a complete waste of time in selling anything
for a low price on ebay. 

It sounds like sacrilege to a collector, but it is getting to the stage
where it will be better for a dealer to throw low value stock in the garbage
rather than try and move it.

Regards
John

nice part is the funds can make some dreams happen like a well earned

Subject: [MOPO] MoviePosterBid Auctions being rescheduled and other notices
about the future of auctions

Hi Folks.

I've been getting some queries about what's going on at MoviePosterBid.com
as my schedules have been rather erratic for the past few months

I had announced an autographs auction that was going to begin today, but I
won't be making it.

I've been working on a number of projects for the past several months all
related to my other collectibles stuff and it's been reducing the schedule
of available time to do movie poster auctions

Why is this happening?

Well it's like this, since I took over  started doing a regular auction on
MoviePosterBid.com in 2006, for the past 8 years I have done almost nothing
else other than my auctions.
For 7 years, this was a weekly process that I had assistants for, but my
Secretary of many years Anna moved on last May and I'd been handling it
mostly by myself until my friend Brian had started helping me a few months
back.

Doing these auctions is a real job.. Creating, photographing, listing,
shipping (and all the other attendant work for an auction) is 160 hours
work. For most people 160 hours is full time job and they would be correct,
it is indeed a full time job. In retrospect, it's hard to understand how I
did this for 7 years on a weekly rotation and while I have been doing a
monthly or even bi-weekly series for a while, the combination of all the
other work and the auctions means something has got to give.

For instance, for all of that 7 years, my warehouse, which is full of other
material aside from movie posters has pretty much laid untouched, which
means that nearly $1,000,000 of merchandise has been effectively not for
sale. Comic books, original comic art, pulp magazines, movie  other
magazines, miscellaneous items of all kinds and who-knows-what have sat,
mostly untouched except for when boxes needed to be moved so that I could
get at the movie posters behind them. It's something I can't ignore anymore.

I must process and list all that stuff. Turn it into cash and trade. 
Get it out of my overstuffed and disorganized 2200 sqft of racked and
shelved warehouse.
As a result, I have been far more busy working in the back of the building
than in the front and no question, movie poster auctions have taken a back
seat.
For the near term this is not going to change. I have to get this work done
and it is going to take the rest of this year at least. My ambitions make me
think I can do all this work and fast, but as I near 60, I'm finally coming
to the conclusion that I can't work like I did when I was 35.

What that means is that I will not be able to adhere to a regular bi-weekly
auction schedule, though it does not mean I will not be doing auctions. It
just means that sometimes an auction will be happening and sometimes not. I
had an auction of autographed items announced that would start today, but is
being delayed not just because of the work I have in back, but also because
I'm leaving Thursday for L.A. to be at the Ray Courts Celebrities Show
return in Burbank http://courtscelebritiesshow.com/ Ray did his shows for
many years, sold out  is now coming back.. and I'm going!

None the less, I can't get the auction listed in time and rather than keep
saying an auction is coming now I'm going to reschedule it for after my
return from LA. I will enlarge this auction and the autographed items will
just be a part of the sale along with folded posters and lobby cards. This
begins October 5th and will not be rescheduled, so you can mark your
calendars

Moving forward, I have been asking new consignors to wait for me as I clean
up all the work I have and get back to a proper point to handle their
material. Thankfully, they have all stated that they would wait for me and I
have some nice collections lined up, so when I get back to a real schedule,
you folks will be very happy.

meanwhile, if you are looking for collectibles to buy, I am currently
processing text lists for comic books, pulps, Big Little Books, art,
magazines and other collectibles as well as a very large list of movie
posters Some material has been listed in the MoviePosterBid.com Supermarket
for ready sale

Why would a seller set up their auction to private (all bidders shown as
'private' including their eBay rating)?
What is the benefit to this?
As a potential bidder it makes me think the seller could be doing some shill
bidding. 
Because of this I am very skeptical in getting in a bidding war with a
private ebay auction.

[MOPO] Sending posters to Argentina

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

I know some dealers exclude shipping to countries in South America and I'm
starting to think that maybe I should also do that.

 

I sent a package to Argentina at the end of August last year. I assumed that
the customer received it because I didn't hear anything to the contrary.
However, this morning the package arrived back to me almost ONE YEAR after I
sent it. Everything was intact without any damage and the tracking details
show it as being delivered back to me. Apparently it was unclaimed in
Argentina.

 

Who knows what has happened to it in the last year but I wonder if anyone
else has had similar experiences in sending mail to Argentina.

Re: [MOPO] ot: predict the final auction price of the Action Comics #1 on ebay

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

It was interesting to see the comments about the grading in the auction
listing. Apparently the two best examples of this comic were graded 9.0 but
the owner of the one that just sold says that his comic is far superior in
condition to the one that previously sold for 2.1mill. Does that indicate
that the grading system and slabbing might not be as reliable as it should
be?

 

This particular copy is the nicest that has ever been graded, with an
ASTONISHING grade of CGC 9.0 ! To date, no copies have been graded higher
and only one other copy has received the same grade. It is fair to say
though that this copy blows the other 9.0 out of the water. Compared to the
other 9.0 that sold for $2.1million several years ago it has significant
superior eye appeal, extremely vibrant colors and PERFECT WHITE PAGES.

something that should be taken into consideration about the Action #1 is
that it is one of the most important first editions of the 20th century
there is no comparable movie poster as it is the film(s) that are the
cultural phenom (such as King Kong) as opposed to the poster.

on the amount of copies.. there have always been estimates of approx 200
copies extant, but of those 200, only 3 are known to be of this quality.
The Mile High copy has not been graded, but is a bit nicer than even the two
copies that have sold in 9.0 and it is suspected that copy could sell  in
excess of $5mil

Pretty unbelievable, especially considering the amount of copies out there!!
Of course, this example was supposedly the highest grade.

I'm sure this price will now also raise the value of all the lower grade
examples.

I sometimes think it would have been a much smarter move collecting and
investing in comic books over the last 51+ years than movie posters.
Rare comics are much easier to find than rare movie posters and they're a
lot easier to sell.
The problem is, I never liked them nearly as much.

But there's a huge difference in the amount of collectors of comic books
compared to movie posters.

[MOPO] Saul Bass design

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

I noticed that Bruce has a note on the descriptions of the Double McGuffin 
suitcase style one sheets that says:

“…. an advanced collector has told us that this poster is a Saul Bass design 
but Bass opposed his name being credited on the poster because the producers 
altered aspects of its design without his approval!”

http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/7734188.html 

 

The design on the Australian daybill is slightly different and I wonder if that 
might have been from the original concept.

http://www.johnreid.helpinghost.com/DOUBLEMCGUFFIN.jpg 

 

Are there any Saul Bass experts out there who might have more definitive 
information about this?

Subject: [MOPO] Greatest poster price variation ever?

 

We have all seen posters that sell for little and then later sell for lots, 
(and vice versa, ouch!), and some of those involve staggering amounts of money 
made (or lost).

Here is one that is not insanely high in the amount of dollars, but what a 
price variation!

From $5.60, to $44.00, to $11.11, to $395.00, to $58.00, to $131.00, to $98.00!

See them all here:

Re: [MOPO] Free Shipping?

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Alan
Free shipping is a big issue on ebay. Buyers obviously want value but they
can't have it both ways. If you have a lot of low priced items you simply
can't offer free shipping on everything you sell, particularly if you are
selling internationally. That is a recipe for losing money. The alternative
is to raise the prices of everything you have to cover the free shipping and
that only puts buyers off.

John

Howdy all. 

Am considering Free Shipping and Insurance for all sales on my upcoming
website. US and Intl. I will also be selling objects. Art. Toys in boxes.
Props. Wardrobe. So not all flats and tubes. Much of the business is also
foreign. 

Any of you ecommerce mavins who use or have tried the free option care to
log in on your thoughts about it?  Or buyers who have ideas on the matter.
Love to hear what you have to say. 

Thanks in advance for your time.

Re: [MOPO] Free Shipping?

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

As far as Alan is concerned, he said that he was considering offering free 
shipping on all sales on his website. Does that include international 
transactions? The fact is that it costs a lot to ship something internationally 
with even basic tracking. There is no getting around that. The only way you 
could offer free domestic and international shipping on everything is if you 
have only high value items for sale.

I have many items on my website and on ebay at under 5.00. It would be 
absolutely ridiculous for me to offer free shipping on those items.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Free Shipping?

I think using eBay as the benchmark for doing business is not good analogy. 
When you choose to do business inside someone else's business then of course 
they will charge you for that privilege and yes that is going to have to be 
passed on; it is no different to shopping mall owners charging the shop owners 
rent, and taking a percentage of your take and another fee for promotional 
activity and so on - they bring the customers to you, they want you to pay for 
that and frankly that seems fair to me.

Let me ask this (general) question: How much money do you (the eBay
seller) spend on advertising and other promotional activity?  I'd venture to 
suggest almost all who exclusively run their business on eBay spend NOTHING on 
advertising and marketing. If you built your own online shop (not a home made 
one) and then spent roughly each month what you used to give up in fees to eBay 
on a proper advertising and marketing campaign there is a high probability you 
would generate sales and get to keep that customer as a permanent client to do 
future marketing to (for free).

Of course there is no free ride, yes someone has to pay - but the consumer 
doesn't really care if it's you who pays, he just knows if feels he has saved a 
dollar or two on the way to spending a dollar or two with you then it's a good 
shopping experience and he is happy.

The quote you use and variations of it: Sales is vanity, profit is sanity, 
cash is reality” comes from 1989, before the internet changed the way business 
is done. Indeed profit is the key but ask yourself: was the bricks and mortar 
shop keeper from the 80s who had to do his own marketing, his own advertising, 
pay his rent, his staff, his utilities, packaging, deposit the takings at the 
bank, pay clearance fees etc more or less profitable than the eBay seller of 
today who has little or no overheads in comparison but may have to take less 
margin in order to compete with every other seller?

Remember being a poster seller on eBay is like being a fast food outlet on a 
50m street of 100 fast food outlets - all with the same store front, remind me 
what your point of difference is again?

So, for Alan he may not have the advertising might of eBay, but by offering 
freight free (on say minimum order size) perhaps free insurance or whatever 
that might give him the edge he needs, I certainly don't think it deceives the 
customer at all, it gives the customer what they need - a positive shopping 
experience.

 so when You sell your poster... If you want 10 and it costs 30% with

 are a a give away the poster... you needto pay your costs to put tape

 to make the sale either higher so the shipping can be part of the sale 
 as a cost,,, and if is a 300 poster you can figure you giving away 10% 
 or 30.00 in profit and netting 270 - cost of poster say 100 so you 
 have a net profit of 70.00 on a 300 gross sale after costs.. now 
 consider this a grocerystore make 3% after costs but they do 20 
 million gross a month whats 3% of 20 million More then I can think of 
 at moment but heft profit margin... Volume  is vanity , Profit is 
 sanity

I agree with you that free shipping on a minimum order size makes sense but 
offering free shipping on every item just doesn’t work.

Alan, depend on the shipping plugin you use you can likely set it to offer free 
freight on minimum order (value) purchase.

Hi Kirby

I also have posters that were linen backed 20 years ago and they are fine.
All have been stored in the same place as the ones that have foxing. That's
why I am convinced that the backer did not mix the paste properly.

John,

 

Thanks for this contribution.  I do want anyone reading this to know,
however, that I have linen-backed posters that

I have had for 15 years easily that do not exhibit these problems.

 

It's also good to remember that all collectors do not have the mandate of an
archivist - as a museum might, for example.

 

That said, vigilant concern for one's posters is a good idea.  Many more
posters, I think, are ruined by leaky plumbing, plexi not

filtered for UV etc, general carelessness than are damaged by well-trained,
seasoned restorers.

 

Kirby
