that's strange Rich ... you offer to buy posters now instead of taking in consignment and you propose fair prices instead of peanuts so when i ask you to explain what you have in mind as for competitive deals compared to emovieposter you say i have a problem with you ? will you reply that to everyone who wants to know how your deal works in order to determine whether it's interesting to propose posters to you ? since you are comparing yourself in your email to emovieposter i'm just asking you to give a simple exemple ... if there's no rhetoric in your email then why ask me what my problem is instead of simply answering my question ? filip Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 02:05:59 -0700 To: runbuffy...@hotmail.com From: sa...@comic-art.com Subject: Re: [MOPO] DON'T CONSIGN YOUR COLLECTION FOR PEANUTS!

I have no axe to grind here but I do wonder what your problem is, Filip. I cannot see where Rich compares himself to emovieposter, nor am I quite sure why you feel the need to question this in such a public manner. It is for whoever wishes to take advantage of Rich's offer to decide whether or not the price offered is fair. If you are so interested why didn't you just offer to sell him a poster and see what happened?

Hi fellas et al, I also buy collections (of different collectibles as well), but I do not publicize much due to various reasons. However, current query is easy enough: Before I evaluate offer, several variables are in play: i.e., paper condition, desirability, auction timing, etc., etc. OK, consider none of the variables ... a basic evaluation: throw out 2 highest results / 2 lowest results, 4 results are left with an average value of $45 (60+55+40+25=180/4=$45) $45 subtract emovie's commish(I'm guessing 50% for easy arithmetic), and you arrive at $22.50 another variable(or 2): amount of items in collection / labor involved in acquiring / do I like the person? / desperation factor?, etc., etc. Offer whatever percentage of $22.50 that is appropriate / applicable at current interval. I've been buying collections of shi-tuff for 30+ years: comics, cards, hummels, signs, toys, decorative bronze, 25% inventory of a hardware store, 3,000+ banks are among a fav few, oh yeah ... and movie posters.

Mudslinging? To slightly misquote a famous book how about the mud in your own eye? As for commenting in public on a public email I didn't see anything from you on Bruce's somewhat offensive 'box of chocolates' ad. If Rich is making a statement which appears to cast doubt on the claims of someone else then I am sure that other person is more than capable of fighting their own battle. It does seem to me that there is a personal animosity between you and Rich which is being aired here. I don't really see what your problem is or why Rich should have to defend himself or provide you with an example when you only seem to be making mischief.

Re: [MOPO] DON'T CONSIGN YOUR COLLECTION FOR PEANUTS! MOVIEPOSTERBID.COM WILL BUY YOUR COLLECTION FOR CASH
C’mon Tommy. How dare Rich make an aggressive pitch on mopo! It’s practically heresy. And it’s virtually unheard of for any dealer to swipe at another or make any implicitly negative references to competitors. I am calling for a ban on movieposterbid.com from mopo. It presents a clear and present danger to the high standard of mopo advertisements that arrive abundantly in my mailbox every day. I would hate to see the advertising bar lowered with this type of savage rhetoric. Who’s in! FYI-there is no perfect formula for buying as AD points out. Each buy is unique and there are many variables. Surely everyone knows this.

I agree. Rich e-mail advertising the advantages of moverposterbid.com was clearly not out of bounds, given the constant onslaught of negative and demeaning promotions coming from another vendor. I believe I even called that vendor out for his shameless marketing, which I found personally offensive. It was also clear from Rich’s e-mail what he meant, i.e. that he would evaluate whatever it is you wish to consign and then propose a fair price, a price without the gigantic commission charged by the purveyors of other auction websites.

thanks Franc I think anyone here that is intelligent can see where I' coming from.. I will buy collections. I have always offered to buy collections. Probably my 2nd post to MoPo was buying collections (my first would have been an intriduction) I regularly advertise I buy collections on forums and in print advertising also.. PAID print advertising. I've been advertising the same way for some time, but of course, what my advertising never does is to insinuate that you should not sell to other dealers or that you shouldn't consign to other dealers. I think each person should choose for themselves what to do with their collections of anything and the types of negative garbage I see from some quarters I find personally objectionable and as an assault on honesty truth - Honesty truth being two things for which I have a high regard. so to get back on point - anyone reading this who may have a collection they are considering selling or consigning I am happily buying collections. No collection is too small or too large If any collection exceeds my capabilities - I have a backer who will spend 100's of 1000's for the right collection You have a $1,000,000 collection to sell?

I used to be a regular poster here...as in someone who posts, not a mentally ill person who thinks he's a one sheet...and have been kind of lurking for awhile. I looked at MOPO today, said, Cool, a sniper battle! I think I'll step into the crossfire! Not really. I have no dog int his fight. Now that the smoke has cleared and Bruce has hopefully not left the building...whatever happened to Bruce I've Got a Very Thick Skin Hershenson?...I will continue to buy from both Bruce and Richard. They are both honest guys who have always treated me well as a customer and as a person. As far as the shots that have been fired...that's the American way. Mars will always take pot shots at Hershey, Burger King will continue to poop on McDonald's, Halegua will talk shit about Hershenson will talk shit about Heritage. These guys are all bright and it makes for an entertaining battle for us little folk out here. In the end, each company has their strengths and weaknesses and i will make decisions based on financial and service oriented experience. As a musician...specifically a hired gun guitar player...I have been the recipient of many reviews, most of them good, some of them horrible. I responded to a guy who called my teaching DVD ...the worst instructional video in the history of guitar playing... (honest to God. I felt like Ed Wood with a Marshall stack) with a withering email full of what I thought were witty insults and well-chosen I'll show you!s. After I sent it, I realized I had just completely validated this guy's BS by responding to it at all. I'm not advocating peaceful co-existence here...what fun would THAT be?but if you really want to piss off someone, don't respond to 'em at all. So againfor me, it all comes down to price, service, and , last, what kind of human being you are. (In the interest of full disclosure, Rich and I share a kind of curmudgeonly kinship that has been well established over the years. Bruce has been unfailingly polite and generous with his time with me, and I have huge respect for him and all he's done. It's just that certain Sick Puppies bond together, drawn together by forces outside of our control. Isn't that right, Tom Martin?) That being said, I just bought my first poster in over two years...that's TWO YEARS without buying a poster from ANYONE... from Heritage last night. I have emerged intact from financial hell with a roof over my head (it was touch go for awhile) and discretionary income to indulge my safe addiction for overpriced paper. I saw a one sheet from She Gods of Shark Reef...AIP, baby!...put in a low ball bid, and won it at a price that I consider a bargain, even with the various Heritage F.U. fees factored in. When you're facing homelessness at the age of 64, your priorities change, and a lot of Terribly Important Things suddenly look like what they are, a heaping helping of blahblahblahblah.

* Dealers attacking other dealers and auction houses. Customers and consignors have long known how the lines have been drawn in our little hobby, who dislikes who, who supports who, who won't speak or write to whom, etc. * Why should these bitter MoPo testimonials from dealers carry GREATER weight than testimonials from CUSTOMERS and CONSIGNORS who've used said services? * I like most of you guys on MoPo, but I still think complaints against Bruce's or Rich's aggressive marketing tactics - represent an infinitesimal figure. Many dealers and consignors and customers (including myself) - who I know PERSONALLY, are fine with eMoviePoster - but choose to remain silent. * In sum, my mantra has never changed when it comes to American commerce: Customers do NOT CARE if car dealers CRAP on competing car dealers. It isn't proper Emily Post behavior, but it's the American way. However, customers ALWAYS CARE if customers CRAP on competing car dealers. -d.

Rich , how many times you've begged me in the past to send you posters or sell them to you cheap in a lot and i was never interested ? so i can't be that much of a braying fool , seeing the chaotic way you've handled your movie poster consignment auctions (and that's not me braying , just check on your own posts from the last months) . I guess the reason why you want to focus on buying posters now is because the way you've handled your auctions scared away any and all potential consignors well, good luck to you , and i hope you'll finally get to replace your long gone secretary as indeed she seemed to have been very vital . filip Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:25:44 -0700 From: sa...@comic-art.com Subject: Re: [MOPO] DON'T CONSIGN YOUR COLLECTION FOR PEANUTS!

[MOPO] DON'T CONSIGN YOUR COLLECTION FOR PEANUTS! MOVIEPOSTERBID.COM WILL BUY YOUR COLLECTION FOR CASH
Did you ever notice how some auctions sell most your collection and advertise that dealers can buy your stuff in their auctions resell it for 2-3-4-5 times what your posters go for at auction? Do you want to get fair prices for your collection, or do you want to sell it for dirt prices so that dealers and other collectors can buy them for a tiny percentage of their value and make more money on your stuff than you can? At MoviePosterBid.com We Will Buy Your Collection For Cash! That's right we will buy your collection for cash No waiting for auctions to take place No waiting for some auction to sell your stuff for peanuts and send you the shells. Some auctions are only interested in how much they can make and how little they can pay you Imagine this, you buy a poster for $100 in 2008. Now you need to raise some cash because you're closing on a house or buying a car or you want to bring your children on a vacation so you send your collection off to be sold. That same poster you paid $100 is auctioned for $7 and then to add insult to injury, the auction takes a whopping 75% of the sale price and you get $1.75.. that's right, one dollar and seventy five cents! Seriously, is that the expectation when you send your collection off to some big seller who plies you with promises of the Moon only to find that a trip to the trash can was more worthwhile? Don't believe the rhetoric! They may tell you how bad all other sellers are, but when these auctions sell your posters, the only interest they have is how much money they make and what you make isn't even a consideration in the equation. MoviePosterBid.com is owned run by a longtime collector Richard Halegua who started selling collectibles in 1966 and I am still actively collecting, so I know how collectors feel when they want to buy, sell, trade.. or auction their collectibles. I don't want to see my collection unceremoniously auctioned for dirt-poor prices and I doubt you feel any differently When I examine your collection I'm not licking my lips wondering how many consignment fees can I get from this stuff . I'm thinking what price can I buy this collection for that both myself AND yourself can feel good and happy with the transaction. Don't fall for rosy stories of incredible success only to find huge failure at the end of the road At MoviePosterBid.com when you offer us your collection, we're looking for mutual happiness.

Re: [MOPO] DON'T CONSIGN YOUR COLLECTION FOR PEANUTS! MOVIEPOSTERBID.COM WILL BUY YOUR COLLECTION FOR CASH
Hi Rich , that sounds pretty interesting , so what you say basically is that you'll buy straight at prices that are competitive with what one gets when consigning with emovieposter right ? since they have an auction history on their site showing all previously made prices on auctions how would you calculate what you'll pay for a poster ? say for example a poster sold for 60$-55$-40$-15$-9$-82-110-25$ over the last 4 years at emovieposter , where (but not always) price differences may reflect condition variations , what would you pay for this poster in order to obtain mutual happiness? thanks , filip Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2014 14:03:41 -0700 From: sa...@comic-art.com Subject: [MOPO] DON'T CONSIGN YOUR COLLECTION FOR PEANUTS!
