Subject: [MOPO] Our 17th Birthday!
 

I can’t let the day pass without mentioning another MoPo milestone…. Birthday 
Number 17!
 
On February 24, 1995 the first MoPo post was distributed via American 
University’s listserv. For a few weeks prior to that date, the original MoPo 
members simply cc’d their e-mail messages to the other 11 people in the group. 
In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to recognize those 11:
 
Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan 
Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, myself (your 
humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555—who for the first time I can finally 
identify as Jeff Static. For years I was unsure of Static555’s real name, but 
by digging through the early MoPo archives I finally stumbled upon his true 
identity. Michael, Rob and Evan are still members.
 
Thanks to you all for keeping MoPo alive these 17 years even in the face of a 
lot of competition from those more graphically-enhanced discussion boards. Also 
a big thanks to American University for the use of their ever-reliable listserv 
system, a dinosaur that they continue to support. And thanks to the original 11 
who got MoPo off to a fine start way back in 1995.

Hello.  I've been a MOPO lurker for a couple of years, this is my first time 
posting.  Would someone be able to provide a referral for a reputable movie 
poster appraiser in the Los Angeles area?  Is there anyone doing this type of 
work outside of the dealer arena?  This would be for a large private collection 
of Hollywood titles from the 1960's through the 1990's. Any information would 
be much appreciated.

Gotta question for them's what have poster websites: 

Do you get a high percentage of folks that are either going to buy, trade, or 
whatever, only to disappear once terms are reached?

Seems like my percentage is about 1 in 4 that actually come to fruition, but I 
wonder if that's a function of the fact that my website 
(petersmovieposters.com, thanks for asking) does not have a checkout feature 
and a does have a high number of "trade only" posters, which means I have to 
interact with folks directly rather than letting the machine-a-tron deal with 
it?

Is this the same for others?  Or am I just the lucky one?  Thanks for your 
opinions.

described as a window card, yet dimensions indicate a 1/2 sheet - but, overly 
wide border left and right, credits not against the artwork but laid on black 
border, Universal Pictures logo missing, no NSS number or any distributor 
details - what is this? Just a novelty reprint sold as original or some strange 
overseas edition - but then a 1/2 sheet abroad? I'd have thought it unlikely. 
Any illumination would be welcome.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Potential Conflict of Interest? Is Gavel-Snipe owned by 
Heritage?
 

When Peter and I (who by the way are the sole owners of 
MoviePosterExchange.com) were first talking about adding a sniping capability 
to our website we investigated and contacted several companies to see if we 
could find a good fit. One of the first things we found out was that most 
companies had no interest in adding any affiliates (certainly not JustSnipe 
that David mentioned), and those that would still charged members for their 
services (either by way of monthly/yearly fees or by purchasing snipe bids in 
bundles).  We were determined to keep costs as low as possible for our 
customers and were not satisfied with these answers.

Then we talked with GavelSnipe.

The GavelSnipe story as we understand it is that they were a company offering 
eBay snipes and struggling to stay afloat finding affiliates to work with when 
Heritage stepped in with some needed capital and partnered with them to offer 
exclusive sniping capabilities for Heritage’s auctions (and this happened 6 
years ago, certainly a very old story for newshound David Kusomoto to finally 
dig up).

To me this makes Heritage more transparent rather than less.

Would you rather Heritage offer sniping capability in-house? Would it make you 
feel better entering your snipes directly on Heritage’s website? Or perhaps 
they should have partnered with one of the dozens of companies that has gone 
out of business in the past few years? How would it look to their 700,000+ 
members to tell them they are changing sniping company affiliates again? Of 
course it is better for them to partner with a company and have stability in 
this area.

The issue of Heritage peering into your high-bids and shilling you up to me is 
a non-issue. Nearly all of Heritage’s most expensive items are offered in their 
signature auctions – which you CAN’T snipe. So it’s not even applicable to a 
majority of their revenue.

Yes, Heritage auctions thousands of items a week through their different 
divisions. But is the risk/reward worth it to break the law this way?  Let’s 
say you have placed a $250 snipe on an item that would have naturally ended at 
$200 without shilling. Heritage’s buyer’s premium  on this extra $50 bid is 
less than $10. The risk? Potential treble damages on a multi-million dollar 
class-action suit and the loss of license. Is that worth it for a company that 
does almost a billion dollars a year? My guess is no. But you would have to 
draw your own conclusions.

Remember Heritage is a licensed auctioneer. They are subject to review and 
regulations. The main reason we have not started auctions on our site yet is 
that we had to finish the certification required for our state. I believe we 
are the only company that deals exclusively in Movie Posters that will be a 
licensed auction firm. To us this is an important distinction. We will be 
subject to the laws and penalties of the state of North Carolina (which have 
some of the strictest regulatory laws in the country when it comes to auction 
houses) and wish to be as transparent as possible in our dealings.  I don’t 
believe any other weekly poster seller (besides Heritage) can say the same.

So for us, partnering with GavelSnipe made good sense. We are branding 
ourselves with the company that provides sniping service to the two largest 
movie poster portals in the world (eBay and Heritage) We have paid GavelSnipe 
to integrate our software with their site and pay them a monthly fee so that we 
can keep the service free for our customers.

Bruce you are correct when you suggest that we would like to shield our 
customer accounts from Heritage, or any other dealers for that matter. You know 
this from when you offered to list items on MoviePosterExchange but requested 
you be allowed to ship directly to the customers. We certainly appreciated the 
offer of support, but ultimately we chose our customers privacy and security 
over being able to have your items listed with us, and if we suspect that 
Gavelsnipe has violated the trust we have placed in them (which we have no 
reason to believe will happen) we will pursue the matter to the fullest extent 
of the law.

As for the answer to Dave’s final question: “Who signs Gavelsnipe’s paychecks?” 
I know that the answer to that lately has been that I have.

I couldn't agree more Bruce.  A movie is so much more compelling with a great 
villan...
 
Ricardo Montalban in Star Trek II
Henry Fonda in "Once Upon A Time In The West"
Heath Ledger in Dark Knight
Klaus Kinski in The Great Silence
 
...if the villan isn't strictly a one dimensional character but has some 
redeeming qualities - inelligence, humor, etc - it generally makes for a good

I re-watched Die Hard the other day (for the first time since 1988) and I was 
reminded of just how excellent a movie it was. It has a great script and great 
performances by Bruce Willis and Bonnie Bedelia, but what really makes it 
"work" so well is the remarkable performance by Alan Rickman as the villain 
(and amazingly he had never been in a movie before!).

The producers of the James Bond and Mission Impossible type movies should 
ALWAYS hire a really first-rate actor (Ben Kingsley, Geoffrey Rush, F. Murray 
Abraham, Bob Hoskins, etc) to play the villain, because it adds SO MUCH to the 
movie (and of course it also makes sense to find the most beautiful women in 
the world, whether or not they can act at all)!

Re: [MOPO] Missing posters

[allen day]

Howdy y'all,

Over the years, I have had several transactions with Heritage / Grey (buying 
and consigning), and should the opportunity present, I will continue to do 
business in the future. I would also recommend Heritage / Grey to anyone 
without reservation.

I have not had any business with Geraldine Kudaka.

Since Helmut Hamm publicly stated a request to MOPO, rather than a private 
request, I submit to all members of MOPO that one should not be diminished for 
stating a topic that may be relevant to the poster community.


Granted ... airing out what some may describe as dirty laundry ... there may be 
a more appropriate method / venue to resolving issues.

BTW .. should a member disagree ... simply activate your delete key.

Geraldine,

since you're already employing an attorney, why don't you let him handle the 
conversation regarding this matter?

As far as I'm concerned, this is between you and Heritage (or between your 
attorney and Heritage at this point) and I do not need any more of this on 
Mopo.

Geraldine

reading your posts as a outsider makes me wonder about some of the things
you mention in your emails.
Are you trying to get a resolution, or are you just trying to disparage
Rudy Franchi and Heritage?
Also, do you or do you not think that your own actions are a partial
contributor to your angst??

Don't get me wrong.. I'm not attempting to disparage or attack you. I
understand you have a dispute, it was not to date settled in your favor
and that makes you angry.

But some thing that you wrote puzzles me. Your own lack of an inventory
specifically.

2 weeks ago, I consigned a large collection of my own to Profiles in
History for their July auction. I have a book collection or hardcover
Photoplay editions in dust jackets dating from 1913 to the 1940s with
additional items up to the 1990s.

I have known Joe Maddalena for a reasonably long time and we have done
deals on both a personal level and via his auction house. However,
regardless of my relationship with Joe, when I consigned this collection
to them of 800 books and related items, there is no way I would have let
these items leave my possession without an inventory.

For 2 weeks prior to them leaving my warehouse, I photographed each and
every item in this collection. Yes it was done in part so I could have
file images of these items for my image archive, but it was also done so
that in case of any disputes, I could prove to Profiles what I gave them.
This is not for the protection of myself and for the protection of
Profiles. How could I dispute any issues without having such an inventory
in my hands??

Did I do this time consuming job for my own pleasure??
No Ma'am
I had plenty of other work to do, and such a task only added to my weekly
work schedule right at a time when I was actually busier than I had been
in months, and anyone who knows me knows that my work schedule is always
completely full and that I haven't been having lots of playtime in my
wonderful city of Las Vegas. It actually left me with just one day to get
ready for Cinevent, and that one day wasn't nearly enough.

Joe may be my good friend and I trust him 100%, but I do not leave it up
to other people to protect my own interests, as much as I would like to
when I don't have any time. If I leave it up to someone else to protect
my interests, I really don't feel I can blame the other party no matter
how many assurances I have that I can. Furthermore, if such a situation
were to land me in a lawsuit attempting to claim some sort of duress,
what portion of such duress is my own fault for not protecting
myself??

I do remember the days when a handshake deal was a bond, but I have also
felt the betrayal of a handshake deal not being honored, making me wish I
had done what was necessary to protect myself before any issues arose.
Not completing such an action is no one's fault but my own.

So the question becomes, "IF" your claims are true, what
responsibility do you think you have in not having done what was
necessary to protect yourself? Do you think this was a failure on your
behalf, or do you think that you have any responsibility at all?

If you were to sue Heritage, what proof would you use to prove your case?
Admittedly, you made no inventory, Charlie is 82 and you are also at an
age where things become less clear to the mind - through no fault of your
own.. It just happens as people get older. It will happen to me as well
probably.

I have thought at times that something is missing and believed I had
given it to someone, only to later find said item in my inventory,
generally somewhere that it doesn't belong, at which point I was forced
to apologize to that person who I thought screwed me.

You did not do what was necessary to protect yourself, how can that be
the fault of Heritage?

Seems to me the director of a professional auction company would not say, 
"Don't worry, we have your posters tagged and inventoried"  unless they did 
have them tagged.

Seems to me, a professional auction company doing what is close to a billion 
dollars worth of annual sales would have a very good double-ledger type of 
accounting software tied to a database which could help staff evaluate poster's 
worth and track it's movement through their system. That same software would 
not allow an employee to simply remove it's existence from their inventory.

Seems to me if a professional auction company has high end Signature auctions 
and weekly low-end auctions, posters going in the low-end auction would be in 
the same database.

Seems to me, if a company like Bruce's which does a high volume of annual sales 
is
 capable of keeping track of their customer's inventory, a company like 
Heritage, which specialized in high end Signature auctions, should be able to 
keep track of inventory

The question is, does a high end company like Heritage depend on their 
customer's inventory to evaluate a poster's worth or a shipment? Doubt it.

These conversations move very rapidly, especially when one gets loopy after a 
lot of hours writing emails. My apologies...
I don't know if you've been following the discussion about our submissions to 
Heritage and our stock -- which we had been told by Grey were tagged and 
inventoried -- "disappearing". We were never paid for them and they weren't 
returned. 

After Heritage only listed a portion of our posters on their inventory, Rudy 
Franchi told us Heritage didn't want the common posters -- like the Judge Dredd 
double sided transparency posters used in light box marquees we had sent in our 
first consignment batch -- and suggested we consign the higher valued posters 
to Heritage, and common posters like the aforementioned Dredd to Bruce.

I posted my submission to Bruce on MOPO because there was a lot of talk about 
my responsibility for sending an un-inventoried lot to Heritage. In fact, some 
MOPOers said I was to blame for their "disappearance" at Heritage because I 
hadn't inventoried them or pursued Grey about their status.


Well, at the same time we sent our 2nd batch of posters to Heritage, we sent an 
equal sized consignment batch to Bruce. Like the Heritage consignment, this 
consignment to Bruce was not inventoried. 


I haven't been posting Bruce illegally appropriated my goods because there 
wasn't a problem with payments or returns.

The deal was straight ahead and worked without any effort on my part.


And if Bruce wears a kilt or has good legs... well, I couldn't say.

If memory serves, I believe that I initially replied that Mrs. Kudaka had a 
right to state her opinion, then Craig replied, and then ...

When "Koos' starts typing, I generally stop.

I was not aware of the page view situation, so I cannot relate (for now) how 
competing page views translates into net profit for similar product lines from 
diff companies.

As for the Heritage business model you are referencing, it is not for me to 
judge.

I can state that if I owned a similar business, I would not do business in that 
manner.

BTW ... It was my opinion that you don't need this situation; if you feel that 
you do, I am not one to argue. You can just as easily tell me that "I don't 
know what I'm talking about" ... it won't bother me at all; it happens often at 
my job. 

As I mentioned earlier, call me old school country ...

Allen

Now I'm VERY confused! Is the "piling on" that bothers you the criticism of 
Heritage? These threads actually started out with a bunch of die-hard Heritage 
supporters "piling on" against Geraldine, and only David Kusumoto stood up for 
her!

But be that as it may, let me address your comment to me about me not "needing 
this situation".

For quite some time, Heritage has (or had) a page on their site showing how many
 more page views a day their entire site gets than mine (and they name 
my site).

They believe this is a strength they have over my 
business, and they are trying to exploit it (I will leave out a 
discussion of the merits of comparing ALL their visitors from a huge spectrum 
of collectibles to mine).

But when I REPLY to a discussion about a strength in my 
business over theirs (I do not initiate it as they do in the example 
above), you say I don't "need this situation"!  

Why exactly is this so? If there is something 
factually incorrect in what I have posted (here or anywhere) please let 
me know and I will retract it and apologize.

Here's an example of what I consider a VERY valid observation of a major 
difference between our two businesses:

Isn't is a HUGE conflict of interest when a major auction house own major 
shares 
in grading companies, and that they buy graded items from their own 
auctions and also directly from people who contact them, and then have them 
re-graded higher by companies they partially own, and then re-auction them to 
people who bid with a snipe program the major auction house itself owns (and at 
least some of those bidding have no idea the sniping company is owned by the 
very company they are bidding with)?

Now if you see no conflict in this, fine. But I don't see what is wrong with my 
raising this factual query, just as I see nothing wrong with them showing that 
their entire site has more visitors than my site.

Re: [MOPO] HIGHLY OFFENSIVE: Seriously?

[allen day]

Howdy y'all,

After I read that quote (which was my first time ever, believe or not), I 
thought it amusing, but I was kinda surprised that it was there, nonetheless.

The quote does not bother me in the least, but I am a diff gender.

I work at a hospital; most hospital employees (including administration) are 
approximately 90% female.

Among the staff that I work with, we have discussed many topics with relatively 
few limits; (experiencing life/death events regularly during any 12 hour shift 
tends to alter one's discussion topics).

Naturally, the c-word (and similarly the n-word), have been discussed over the 
years.

Those words can be demonizing, demoralizing, soul draining, and tend to create 
a vacuum.

However, in people of the same ethnic, the n-word can be a term of affection / 
endearment.

Similarly, the c-word, when discussed exclusively by a certain gender, tends to 
have a less antagonizing effect. ... or to be a lil' more plainer ... if a man 
utters the c-word, he will be forever known; 'flogged' relentlessly; and 
'frozen out' ... should a women utter the c-word, she will be dismissed as just 
a low class bee-yotch having a bad day.

foremost french dealer he mentioned  that was unaware of the different blow up

releases being wildly available to any professional seller who knows what he's 
doing  this is totally unacceptable so collectors should be warned that next to 
an american based " professional " movie poster seller there's also one in 
france buyers should be aware  of )
 
and regarding the links he posted on nsfge for the heritage blow up sales i 
asked where that he could tell from the pictures that one was and the other was 
not original (both with year and palm) as on the pictures they are identical 
unless when i checked them out i was momentarily bitten by stupidity ...
 
no surprises here : no answer from Bruce ...

I remember when Bruce made a post asking if anyone could show him one of the 
Haggard fakes so that he wouldn't be fooled by one if someone ever sent any 
Universal Horror to him and Grey immediately stepped up and sent one to Bruce 
right away, as that is the kind of guy he is (though I guess Bruce didn't show 
it to any employees as they auctioned a fake Son of Frankenstein card while

So I am sure Bruce must have extended the same sort of courtesy to Grey as he 
did to Lieberman.

It's that kind of mutual respect and courtesy between dealers that makes our 
hobby so different from the rest.
We don't have the back-biting and animosity that many other collectibles seem 
to have.

We recently registered our 8,000th bidder, and we also recently added our 
700,000th verified result to our Auction History Database, which has over 
600,000 images.

The two are inter-related. Our Auction History Database gets a huge amount of 
traffic each day, which results in many new bidders each day (and all of OUR 
bidders are actual movie poster collectors). What is the value of having 
millions of registered users when the vast majority of them will never buy a 
movie poster?

If you are one the many sellers who is fed up with eBay, why not send us a 
small sample consignment and give us a try (if you haven't done so already)? 
You'll quickly discover why such a high percentage of movie poster dealers 
include consigning to us as an important part of their business model.

Bring on the trolls!

Subject: [MOPO] Is this the best time ever to find and buy vintage movie 
posters?
 

It is my personal opinion that this is the best time ever to find and buy 
vintage movie posters. There are many thousands of real no reserve auctions 
every week (some 99 cents, some $1, $10, or $15). and there are LOTS of "major 
events" of "better posters", plus there are at least 100 dealers with bulging 
inventories, many of who have all or most of their posters well illustrated on 
their sites.

There just aren't that many posters (other than the super-scarce ones that have 
ALWAYS been very hard to find) that one couldn't reasonably expect a good 
opportunity of acquiring over a few months or a year's time, and there are lots 
and lots of bargains all over the Internet, both at auctions and from dealers' 
sites.

And unlike the pre-Internet days, where you often had to buy off of a tiny 
black and white image (sometimes no image at all) you now can almost always see 
a giant image of the item you want to buy.

So I ask you, is this the best time ever to find and buy vintage movie posters?

Hi MoPoers
eBay currently has a promotion running where many 
sellers have been offerred up to 50,000 free auction listings for about 
nine days up until Aug 31. This has resulted in some sellers flooding the 
site with cheap repros and reprints. The crazy thing is that the offer has been 
sent "by invitation only" and it seems to have been done at random. Store 
sellers are not eligible so anyone who has a store would be seeing a big drop 
in 
sales while this promotion is on.
 
Just curious as to whether any MoPo members 
received the invitation to list 50,000 items on auction.

Re: [MOPO] REVISED: Less than 1% of Bruce's customers will NEVER be happy.

Howdy y'all,

I am not a dealer in any sense of the word, but I do sell posters and other 
collectible junque online on only one site. (eBay seller id: charlotte5999)

When I experience any sort of a ne'er-do-well, I conveniently add their name to 
a block bidder list.

In a similar vein, if a seller has been a butthead ... I no longer patronize; I 
could care less what bargain may be in the offing.

BTW ... I use to question internally why some buyers would purchase items and 
then leave no feedback / no personal reply / acknowledgement upon receipt. I 
released that bete noire looong ago, as their $$ deposits as any other. 
Southern hospitality manners are a quaint localized custom. If a buyer does not 
contact me after receipt, I assume that they are absolutely delighted.

Just read over eMoviePoster's latest club message and what caught my eye was 
the following section about customers who can never be pleased - and who 
complain repeatedly about its service.  Bruce DOES NOT threaten to ban these 
customers, but if I had to deal with the SAME people who complain over and over 
about different issues, this would really test my patience - and I might be 
inclined to drop 'em.  How do some dealers out there - deal with customers who 
are REPEATEDLY tough to deal with?  At what point do you say, "enough?"  I know 
this cuts both ways, but this time I'm curious about the dealer's side of the 
equation. -d.


Did you know...  that 99% of our customers are amazed that we do 
all we do but 99% of our problems come from the remaining 1%?
 There is NO other auction ANYWHERE in the world who auctions two to three 
THOUSAND individual unique items every WEEK as we do! The vast majority of our 
customers (over 99%) fully recognize just how difficult 
that is to do at all, and ever more so, how difficult it is to do that as well 
as we do, with as few 
mistakes and as well-run a system to list, photograph, auction, pack and ship 
all these items we 
have, and every week we get quite a few complimentary emails from happy 
customers.
 But there is a tiny percentage of our customers (less than 1%) who over 
and over 
find fault with what we do. It might be that we described a one-sheet as having 
a one inch tear in a 
border, and they measured it and found it to be 1.25 inches! Or it might be 
that they took a month 
to pay, and then are mad because we then no longer charge them our flat rate 
shipping charge, even 
though that is clearly stated everywhere. Or it might be that we packed up all 
their purchases over 
a four week period from 10 different auctions and emailed them their shipping 
options, but they have 
bought one more item and they want us to re-open the package, add that in and 
then get new shipping 
options, even though we already waited 28 days to combine!
 We have observed that these problems almost always occur with that very 
tiny 
subset of our customers, those who are very difficult to please at all stages 
of the auction 
process. We think it is fine for them to demand this extra level of personal 
care in their orders, 
but we could never continue to auction as many items as we do if we had to take 
the time to give 
this extra personalized service. We know there are other dealers out there who 
only sell a fraction 
of we do, and many of them can and do have the time to take care of such 
special requests, and we 
feel that it is quite possible these sorts of people would be happier ordering 
from such dealers.
 99% of our customers NEVER have even a single problem when ordering from 
us, and we thank them all so very, very much!

Re: [MOPO] Sniping

Howdy y'all,

To get any business 'off the ground' ... requires a lot of time, effort, 
patience, and $$$.

I applaud anyone who is willing to undertake such a massive risk, and I wish 
all good fortune.

I do not mean to advise anyone on how to operate a business, if it works for 
you and and all your customers, so be it.


However ... If you are licensed auctioneers, you have a fiduciary 
responsibility to the seller (consignor).

Providing that responsibility AND the best customer service should be an 
equally important goal, not a balancing act.

Yes, we could add a sniping feature to our website and not pay them every month.
But we have opted to go with more transparency.  
This way you  know your bid is with a third party company and there is no way 
that we can find it out.

Sniping is also about saving our customers time.  Not everyone has the time (or 
desire) to sit in front of a computer all night and fight back and forth in $2 
or $5 increments.
Sniping allows you to set a bid and have it executed at the end of the auction 
without having to tie your night to the computer.
We do have the capability to have time-extended auctions (we had this 
programmed as an option when building the site), but will choose to save it for 
a more signature-event type auction instead of weekly auctions.
At this juncture we choose not to ask our customers to tie themselves for hours 
(or even minutes) to their computers to watch the end of our auctions by 
necessity, but of coruse they can do so if that is how they would like to 
choose to spend their time.

If a consignor would like to get the absolute most for their posters, they 
should strongly consider using our fixed price listings.
Earlier this year we sold a War of the Worlds half sheet for $33,000.00 using 
our fixed price feature - a price that would be difficult to replicate at 
auction no matter how long the time was extended, and just this week we sold a 
Mighty Joe Young poster for $2,600.00 another very strong price for our 
consignor.
And with only a 10% commission, you will end up with more money of the selling 
price in your pocket than any other poster seller.

It seems like you could add that feature to your web site and not have to pay 
them every month.

However, it seems like a bit of a conflict of interest.  Basically, the 
argument for sniping is that the
buyer will get a better price on the item.  As the auction house, your 
responsibility lies with the seller.
When you are paying a 3rd party to supply a service which is designed to get 
your consignors LESS money -- well,
that seems just plain wrong.

But, that's just my opinion.

Funny. I wonder how long a business can last without actually charging for

you bid on eBay or emovieposter, you could just register your bid as "snipe", 
and it would execute the bid with 0 seconds left.Of course, you would have to 
trust the auction house to execute your bid fairly. But it seems like people

As you know a much better poster has been sold by bruce for less. The 
conditionof your poster is really poor and is in dire need of backing and 
restoration which most likrly will be in the $400 and up range. A price between 
$200 and $250 would appear fair . Considering the current market and economy 
coupled with the numerous listings my questio to you is..do you really 
wantto sell the poster? Would you be agreeable? (name withheld) on mopo. You 
can reply there.

I withheld the name for obvious reasons, name will be unavailable unless 
permission granted or the author comes forward.

After checking the auction results at emovieposter.com, I noticed that Bruce 
has sold only one R57 poster ... $430 in 2008

To answer the questions raised:

1. Yes, I really want to sell the poster.
2. I am agreeable (mostly), ask anyone who has ever bought from me (or check my 
ebay feedback history). But, I regretfully decline the apparent offer of 
$200-$250. 

Okay, poster descriptions are an exercise in semantics, whether you are 
positioned as buyer / seller / interested bystander.

Depending on your angle, the poster is in really poor ... serviceable ... "good 
for it's age" ... very good ... (insert your own).

This poster is one of a kind (actually 2), in that the poster has a written 
address and postage stamps on reverse ... yeah, that's right, mailed naked, so 
to speak.

It is the only poster I have ever seen in 40+ years of collecting ... that has 
apparently been mailed with no protection; that is, until I came across another 
poster: Creature Walks Among Us, which btw ... is in another current auction.

Both posters would absolutely benefit from restoration / backing, but ... those 
stamps keep reminding me of another era. (My era, I'm getting old)

S ... what do y'all think ... am I asking too much for a derelict poster 
(actually 2) that has gone thru some tough times and postage stamps?

Howdy y'all,

Even though I have been a member of MOPO for 7-8 years, I have actually met 
only 1 person.

To all in Sandy's path, it looks to be one helluva storm.

My wife has asked that I reach out to ... and contact any who may be in danger.

Please take all precautions for yourself and your family.


Stay safe.

Re: [MOPO] selling on everyone's fav ... eeeekbay

[allen day]

Hi all,

As life rolls on, I have decided to start giving away / throwing away /
consigning / selling on eeekbay whatever I own ... that my wife and
daughter are not interested in collecting / keeping, (which just happens to
be damn near everything).

I looked into the transaction details on some items previously sold. I
noticed what appears to be some accounting errors, so natch, I contacted
and found out:

When a buyer pays for an item sold on eeekbay, they are (most likely)
charged a local tax to be paid by the buyer, and that tax is also added to
the final value of the item, and then the seller is charged whatever
percentage fee on the added final value fee.

Creative accounting?

New math?

Thoughts?

2 Mules for Sister Sara .. Clint Eastwood is an industry
Million Dollar Baby .. Go Clint go

Re: [MOPO] Increase in minimum buyer's premium at HA

One consideration that may have been missed ..

The new co-director of the movie poster kingdom may want to be paid more

Re: [MOPO] UPS is not perfect either!!!

[allen day]

Hi Tom (and everybody).

It's all over health care .. hospitals/health care have been using
'travelers' for years, the covid thingy has exacerbated the situation. 2
years previous (before covid), travelers (temporary help) were employed on
a minor time contract for a stop gap issue to bridge sick days / employee
loss, etc.. Now ... travelers are a majority percentage of employees which
are paid 2-5x rate .. they have the best of all worlds:
Don't like working conditions? break contract and find another, as there
are ridiculous opportunities all over
Don't like your boss? see above
Don't want to follow rules? see above
Don't agree with your contract once you are employed? see above
Break so many contracts that you are damn near unemployable? Find another
company, all they check is ACLS BLS competencies. Licensure and continuing
education have been temporarily suspended due to pandemic in many places
Many companies look the other way, because warm bodies (travelers) have
most of the cards.
I could continue with kra-kra tales that would marvel any thing you have
ever heard .. but you get the point.

2 takeaways:

Don't get sick.
Don't get old.

Godspeed

Re: [MOPO] The real value of posters...

[allen day]

Excellent observations and conclusions.
If you were to list separately on an online auction site, I'm pretty sure the 
bottom line (i.e. ... gross receipts less your original acquisition costs / 
shipping costs / selling commissions): does not include: time spent on listing 
/ packaging / shipping, shipping costs, packaging supplies, and of course, the 
headache/heartache of dealing with ne'er-do-wells.

This is an interesting topic to me. Poster value has been a 
big subject in the last few days. New poster prices vs. older poster prices and 
now this Metropolis conversation.  
 
I've been making a study of something I was 
personally involved with and had planned to report back to the 
group a little later but now seems like a good time to offer my 
preliminary findings.
 
I consigned to Bruce a lot of 70 vintage, lesser 
title, lesser condition, posters. This was the same lot I 
offered to MOPO members less than a year ago.
 
No one was interested at 750. I don't recall anyone even 
making an offer.  In fact, one of our more 
esteemed members emailed me privately to say there 
wasn't one poster on the list worth ten dollars and I 
should break them up sell them in smaller lots. 
 
In Bruce's auctions 2 of these posters sold for 112.00 
and 124.00. Several sold in the 50 - 60 dollar range and again many sold in the 
30 - 40 range. One title, the one in the worst possible condition sold for 
45.00! Individually these posters sold for over double what I offered them for. 
No one is more surprised than me since I was convinced, by 
MOPO standards, I bought a pig in poke.
 
What I realized from all this is no one in the hobby really 
knows anything, people are willing to spend good money on precisely 
what they want and no poster is worth the price when either buying or 
selling.
 
Bottom line of the study...
 
It's all a crap shoot so you better collect what you like 
and consider yourself lucky if you sell it for more than you paid.

Here's the thing about expensive movie posters. It doesn't 
  amount to a hill of beans what all the "rooters" think a poster SHOULD 
  sell for. All that matters is what the few well-heeled bidders think, and 
when 
  one of the major players (Kirk Hammett) switches from buyer to seller, that 
is 
  a HUGE reversal in the tiny high end part of the hobby.

The 
  entire hobby is a pyramid. I have sold to 31,000 movie paper fans, and maybe 
  20,000 of those would never spend even $100 on a single item. Probably 
another 
  8,000 would never spend $500, and probably another 2,000 would never spend 
  $1,000. That last 1,000 or so HAVE spent $1,000 or more on a single 
  poster.

How many have spent $40,000 or more? A couple of dozen or so. 
  And it is what THEY think of the Metropolis insert that matters, not 
  what anyone else thinks.

I am content to keep mostly selling to those 
  20,000 who like posters between $1 and $100. THAT part of the hobby is doing 
  quite well!

Bruce

P.S. My estimates are wild guesses, although I 
  could, if I wanted, analyze my sales and see the actual numbers.  The 
  true numbers might be off, but the basis concept is 100% sound. The top of 
the 
  pyramid is incredibly tiny, just as it is in comic books, or baseball cards, 
  or Van Gogh paintings.

First of all, It’s irrelevant what you would pay
for this poster. Secondly, Heritage doesn’t have “to explain”
anything. Starting Prices are worked out in advance with the seller. Thirdly,
it’s not an item you see often and finally -IT SOLD.

When I was a wee lad, I was utterly 
blown away by 2001: a space odyssey.  I first saw it in San Antonio where I 
was born and raised. I remembered reading about it and even buying a comic book 
serialization before it ever hit the town learning much later as to 
why: the Cinerama engagements were first roll out, all other cities had to 
wait on the engagements in a very slow deliberate roll-out 
by MGM.  Once opened, the film played exclusively at a General 
Cinema, 1000 seat theatre over a year, and literally keep getting moved to 
other houses for the better part of another year. We are talking San Antonio 
guys...where the search for illegal aliens was nothing 
special
 
When I took a job in exhibition in 
Washington DC that was when I hit Odyssey nirvana.  The theatre chain I 
worked for  owned the 1000 plus seat UPTOWN  THEATRE  a 
true Cinerama Theatre beginning in 1962 located walking distance from 
THE NATIONAL ZOO.  But what really blew my mind was knowing the 
theatre was the host of the World Premiere of 2001: a space odyssey .  
The theatre was shut down several months before the premiere and was completely 
renovated at a cost  just north of $900,00.00 when $900,000.00 really meant 
something.mind blowing given the reason for the renovation  was 
for the premiere of "some space movie" as told to me by the 
same manager still employed at the theatre when I started working for the 
circuit.  (The Washington Post actually did an article on him when he 
retired in 1986 two years after I moved to DC since it was estimated 
50% of the population knew who he was.  Plus you can see the 
theatre in newsreel footage on the special DVD extras of 2001 but I digress) 

 
Further,  since my job had me 
interacting with all studio publicists, one named Ted Hatfield  who worked 
for MGM out of NYC at the time (later moved to Columbia) told me 
great stories of that horrible/wonderful time.  In 
DC there were scheduled a series of screenings but the first 
was the WORLD PREMIERE  and gala reception with NY and LA to follow. 
This film was a big, big investment for the studio at the time.
 
 Kubrick agreed to attend but he 
flexed, probably for his own amusement and eccentricity, some unusual 
demands.  Can't remember them all,  but he did insist  
at the ultra deluxe and traditionally Georgian styled,Hilton Hotel literally 
walking distance from the theatre,  that one elevator  be his 
exclusivelyand be painted out completely in 
purple. 
 
 But he was a man under pressure 
as all of MGM's  brass were there along with a battalion of execs from 
NASA, McDonnell Douglas, TWA, Hilton and anyone else that lent their names, 
technology and sizeable promotional commitments. 
 
    
Did I mention there was never a test screening?
 
 Not surprising he took 
control of the actual presentation demanding agonizing test runs with 
the projectionists that went on well into the evening 
prior.   The  Premiere proved a huge media event with 
the typical black-tie glitterai of DC and numerous Members Of Congress and 
Ambassadors in attendance. It un-spooled without a hitch.
 
AND IT BOMBED.   We are talking  
B-O-M-B-E-D.   Panicked MGM execs  all met after only briefly 
showing up at the reception and assembled at the hotel with Kubrick.  
He actually began to suggest cuts to an evidently despondent, if not 
suicidal group of brass.  But there were still two screenings 
scheduled the next day---one for national press 
and a second for employees of TWA and lower tiered 
not-so-swells.  My friend Ted told me the vibe of premiere night 
was nothing short of funereal.   He didn't sleep at all, so got 
reasonably soused with his cohorts.   He showered and went to the theatre 
with his equally whacked ad pub cohorts  and all braced themselves for 
the worst.
 
  The first screening at 10:00 am  with critics he 
felt went okay as many commented on exiting but it was only about 200-300 
critics and as you know are a very sullen bunch anyway.  But 
at least they didn't seem to be outright bored.  When Ted and gang got 
outside the theatre to see if anyone from TWA, and the other invited, 
 not-so-swells were even going to show up...the lines 
stretched blocks down Connecticut Ave in both directions way, way more than 
the theatre could hold  And they were shocked.  This time 
they had to stand bleary eyed through this packed to the 
rafters screening (with scores of other people standing with them 
along the rear and sides of the main 
auditorium and sitting jammed in the aisles of the balcony It was 
for Ted and his co-publicists as if watching 2001 for the first 
time.  I

Hello --

Ia m new to this group and I wanted to find out what the posting etiquette is 
before I post something in here?

Is it acceptable to post a "wanted to buy" post or is there a certain place on 
the website to do that?

Thanks
Neil

Re: [MOPO] Memories of MoPo Past

[allen day]

I can shed a little bit of light ...
Al Shevy is a guy who sold posters on eeebay several years ago, I was the 
winning bidder on a particular auction and paid promptly via Paypal. Poster 
never posted despite several messages back and forth, several deadlines ignored 
/ missed, Paypal refunded most of the $$$.
Al Shevy provided a valuable lesson ... and it only cost me less than $40
I'm sure he must be a nice guy to some people, probably a great family man as 
well, but with online business dealings ... he is just a low-rent, mouth 
breathing, jack leg, butthead, suck-egg country mule geechie, bless his evil 
'lil heart. I was once consumed that this cretin thought he was going to get 
away without paying up, then I realised it was small poop from smaller poop. 
Now ... I wouldn't spend the time or money to buy salt ... to pour on the slug. 
I feel somewhat used by wasting this time to type out this message, but hey, 
what's done ... is done.
BTW ... smoochies, Al ... miss you ...

Some time ago, I was looking for the purchaser of the vintage frame catalog on 
eBay.  Alas no luck.  If someone on this list bought this, please contact me.

On a related topic -- I wanted to share a picture of the frame I built, 
modelled after one of the frames pictured in the catalog.  The eBay pictures 
were a little blury, but I did my best. The inner frame is hinged and allows 
easy changing of posters.  Also, its big enough to display linen backed 
1-sheets.

I thought it was pretty cool, and it looks great on the wall!

  Thanks Bruce
  I'm not being critical at all of Heritage but 
  could you let me know if we can rely on the accuracy of the measurements of 
  these posters ie 3 different sizes for the advance one sheet. It would be 
  understandable if the sizes listed were approximate but I would be surprised 
  if there were actually 3 different sizes printed for the original release. 
  
   
  I had a look through Bruce's archives but there 
  doesnt seem to be a way of checking the actual measurements of the posters he 
  has sold although he does refer to a glossy and a matte version.

I 
do know that there was a flat and a glossy version of the advance printed 
and that they used the advance style for the regular release instead of a 
new style (originally they were going to use an image of Batman) also which 
might have meant a different size printed again.

there is no record of my email which is a little strange.The one

6. Withdrawn

etc etc 
etc.   

  

All 
are supposed to be original Batman advance/teaser posters from 
1989. There are a number of posters listed as original advance one sheets 
on 
eBay at the moment and they range in price from $7.99 - $235.00 for 
supposedly the same poster. 

  

Bruce and 
Heritage both list various different versions of the same poster. Heritage 
actually has 3 different sizes for the same advance one sheet listed in 
their archives. Is that possible?

I was taught that you hold the door and always let a lady go first.

But it isn't practiced by very many and I even see guys trying to beat
women to doors or squeezing by them without any respect.

the responses you get from ladies goes from, as Tom said, cautious to
very thankful 

there is always the "oh. are you holding the door for me. I haven't
had a man do that for me in ages"

and the just walks right on by and doesn't even look at you or say thank
you, but those are few.

the great percentage of women you hold a door for are very happy and
always offer you a smile and say thanks..

I couldn't agree more with this



the reality is that when you have certain tv stations, radio hosts
and other leaders spilling vitriol on a daily basis it permeates
throughout. One major over-riding factor however is this: people have
come to believe that everything they think is right IS while thinkng
everything other people think about IS NOT. It's an inability to look
objectively ate things and understand there is give and take, what's good
for the goose is what's good for the gander and regardless of whether you
agree with your opposites or not, you're supposed to treat people with
mutual respect as well as respect the beliefs of your opposites.



it isn't confined to America, but admittedly our nation is a hotspot
for such behavior

Re: [MOPO] (somewhat) OT slabbing recap

[allen day]

Howdy y'all,
For those that missed all the views / discussion / opinions of the recent 
slabbing topic, allow me to summarize:
whine, new!, mewl, old, h ... , maybe, never, *pout*, money, hobby, piss, 
what are they thinking?, moan, it'll never work, it's time, change, let's see, 
cry, *sob*, etc...
Lobbies are of little interest to me; I have 8-10 total in the flat files, and 
none displayed, so I have minimal emotional investment in the topic.
Heritage and Grey Smith is making a considered move; this 'slabbing' is not the 
product of a single skull session, late Thursday afternoon.
Slabbing a lobby card would be a 'game changer' in the movie paper hobby. If 
the process were to 'take hold', similar to other hobbies, i.e., trading cards, 
comics ... increasing interest and money would follow, and the accompanying 
speculators, scalywags, and ne'er-do-wells (read 'investors') would smell the 
$$$, and you can figure the rest.
I give 'props' to Heritage for their chutzpah. If there are positive results, 
the ramifications of pioneering a new direction in the movie paper hobby would 
further cement their brand as an 'hobby one stop shop'.

Or ... the lack thereof
A curious point ... why don't sellers offer a perk or discount to their MOPO 
compatriots?
(A rhetorical question, not really needing any answers).

Re: [MOPO] Waaaay OT: Tweet Less, Kiss More

[allen day]

I meant to reply to this article some time ago ... 
Anyway, it reminds me of my grandfather (which I seem to become as time marches 
on) ... and another fella I met some time ago; he was an old-timey country 
lawyer, and wore a 'ten-gallon type' of cowboy hat and bolo tie every day; (he 
died several years ago).
Well ... this country lawyer had a fav saying ...
"Be where you are, don't try to be somewhere else ... 
And while you're there, be all there".
For those of you that have made it to this point, thanks for your time and 
patience.

Tweet Less, Kiss More
By BOB HERBERT
Published: July 16, 2010

I was driving from Washington to New York one afternoon on Interstate 95 when a 
car came zooming up behind me, really flying. I could see in the rearview 
mirror that the driver was talking on her cellphone.


I was about to move to the center lane to get out of her way when she suddenly 
swerved into that lane herself to pass me on the right — still chatting away. 
She continued moving dangerously from one lane to another as she sped up the 
highway.


A few days later, I was talking to a guy who commutes every day between New 
York and New Jersey. He props up his laptop on the front seat so he can watch 
DVDs while he’s driving.

“I only do it in traffic,” he said. “It’s no big deal.”


Beyond the obvious safety issues, why does anyone want, or need, to be talking 
constantly on the phone or watching movies (or texting) while driving? I hate 
to sound so 20th century, but what’s wrong with just listening to the radio? 
The blessed wonders of technology are overwhelming us. We don’t control them; 
they control us.


We’ve got cellphones and BlackBerrys and Kindles and iPads, and we’re e-mailing 
and text-messaging and chatting and tweeting — I used to call it Twittering 
until I was corrected by high school kids who patiently explained to me, as if 
I were the village idiot, that the correct term is tweeting. Twittering, 
tweeting — whatever it is, it sounds like a nervous disorder.


This is all part of what I think is one of the weirder aspects of our culture: 
a heightened freneticism that seems to demand that we be doing, at a minimum, 
two or three things every single moment of every hour that we’re awake. Why is 
multitasking considered an admirable talent? We could just as easily think of 
it as a neurotic inability to concentrate for more than three seconds.


Why do we have to check our e-mail so many times a day, or keep our ears 
constantly attached, as if with Krazy Glue, to our cellphones? When you watch 
the news on cable television, there are often additional stories being scrolled 
across the bottom of the screen, stock market results blinking on the right of 
the screen, and promos for upcoming features on the left. These extras often 
block significant parts of the main item we’re supposed to be watching.


A friend of mine told me about an engagement party that she had attended. She 
said it was lovely: a delicious lunch and plenty of Champagne toasts. But all 
the guests had their cellphones on the luncheon tables and had text-messaged 
their way through the entire event.


Enough already with this hyperactive behavior, this techno-tyranny and nonstop 
freneticism. We need to slow down and take a deep breath.

I’m not opposed to the remarkable technological advances of the past several 
years. I don’t want to go back to typewriters and carbon paper and yellowing 
clips from the newspaper morgue. I just think that we should treat technology 
like any other tool. We should control it, bending it to our human purposes.


Let’s put down at least some of these gadgets and spend a little time just 
being ourselves. One of the essential problems of our society is that we have a 
tendency, amid all the craziness that surrounds us, to lose sight of what is 
truly human in ourselves, and that includes our own individual needs — those 
very special, mostly nonmaterial things that would fulfill us, give meaning to 
our lives, enlarge us, and enable us to more easily embrace those around us.


There’s a character in the August Wilson play “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” who 
says everyone has a song inside of him or her, and that you lose sight of that 
song at your peril. If you get out of touch with your song, forget how to sing 
it, you’re bound to end up frustrated and dissatisfied.


As this character says, recalling a time when he was out of touch with his own 
song, “Something wasn’t making my heart smooth and easy.”

I don’t think we can stay in touch with our song by constantly Twittering or 
tweeting, or thumbing out messages on our BlackBerrys, or piling up virtual 
friends on Facebook.


We need to reduce the speed limits of our lives. We need to savor the

I would think, though, that beautiful posters will always 
  be in demand.  Intuitively, there's a point at which the original 
  actor/actress may become unknown to new generations, but the art will 
  likely remain attractive to those generations.  And, there's the fact 
  that the posters themselves could bring around new generations to the 
  movies themselves.  I can't say how many times I've come to a great 
  movie because of the poster.

i just bought a beautiful, powerful one sheet:  
HIGH WALL, 1948 with robert taylor, audrey totter and herbert

casablanca, mildred pierce, bogart, bette davis are

Yeah, I think that's how I feel too.  I couldn't do it. 
 Also, the market can absorb a lot of a good thing.  Again, 
with first edition books, about 15 years ago, the first two books by a 
popular writer were remaindered by a big remainder company.  About 
300 of each hit the market at once.  The company limited sales of 
two of each per buyer.  The books previously sold for about 200 
each.  None were sold other than the remainders for a few years. 
 Then, while no one noticed, the prices were back to what they used 
to be.


Over time, for good posters, new buyers will increase demand and 
that will prop up the price I think.  But, I do agree that the must 
be let go over a few years.

  Nah, destroying any old art/collectible that has 
  managed to survive into the current era is just flat out criminal. 
But 
  there's no reason not to do as many on this list have suggested: Keep 
  a couple for yourself and trickle out the rest very slowly into the 
  market. This is so obvious you'd think everyone would understand it 
-- 
  yet I see people on Ebay all the time listing 4 or 5 of the same item 
  at the same time and calling it "rare" in their descriptions. 

And then there's this 
  ever-popular Ebay ploy: An item that is reasonably scarce (but not 
  truly "rare") sells on Ebay for a decent price (usually because no 
one 
  has put one of those particular things up for a month or two). 
  Suddenly every seller in the world who has the same item immediately 
  lists it on Ebay within a few days of the first sale -- all of them 
  thinking they are also going to get the good price, when in fact all 
  they are doing is guaranteeing they will not. They think they will 
  pick up the second bidder who missed the f
