Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
i have often pointed out to ebay sellers, via the Question to seller area, that their posters are repros and should be listed as such, and also in the appropriate sub category. jeff On Dec 31, 2008, at 8:18 AM, Cory glaberson wrote: Is it ethical to tell the high bidders that the poster is a reproduction?

Well, with all due respect, I dont think I missed the point at all. I was just saying that at least she is, at least, dislaying the comments. You have the option of hiding the comments and it is certainly better in this case to show them than not display them. I also said that she would have been better off just ending the auction and she has now done that. She also added the following comment... Note: Please look at all the emails We posted.We thought it was real for the many years We owned it.It is a great looking poster and may be worth it to someone for the selling price for It's great look,real or not.If anybody that is bidding wants to stop their bid or get their money back if they do buy it and don't like it,fine.Thanks again,Sharon and Jon I think that she has taken the advice of others and done the right thing in ending the auction.

Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
Hey, John, I agree that AT LEAST she posted the comments. However, she sent me an email telling me how she was handling it and my response was to question why she would not simply cancel the auction and contact all bidders. Then go forward with her new intelligence and list the poster properly as a reproduction. Posting the comments was a start but anyone who had bid prior to her posting 'Notes' etc. might not bother scrolling down the page. It is my belief that she was finally contacted by Ebay since several of us reported the error in her listing and complained that she knew it was a reproduction but continued with the auction title ORIGINAL DRACULA MOVIE POSTER, when she knew is wasn't a 1931 original. I hate to sound so cynical but it certainly was convenient that the 'Portal Press' was torn precisely away from the bottom border but the 1931 still remained.

Yes, its funny how the Portal Press logo often seems to be conveniently torn away when similar posters are listed. It's a good thing that no one got burnt in the end and hopefully the seller won't list the poster again.

Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
I think the Portal design is actually pretty nice. But why does it say from a novel by Abraham Stoker? I've never heard anyone else call him Abraham. I see that someone else is selling 27X40 repros of this poster. The original Portal poster could be valuable some day. I might start hoarding them. -rk On Jan 1, 2009, at 7:56 PM, Phil Edwards wrote: oh, was this another one with the Portal Press details torn off while sojurning in the eternal grandfather's attic?

Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
I wrote this note to the seller. It might be of use to Mr. Eyssell as well. I spent a lot of time in Sausalito in the Sixties, and these repros were in every gift shop. I've had lots of them cross my path in the hands of excited would-be millionaires. Here you go: The poster is 100%, absolutely, undoubtedly a reproduction. There have been a lot of honest mistakes with these on Ebay, and a lot of confusion. It comes from Portal Publications of Sausalito, and was published in the mid 1960s as part of a series of classic film posters. All one sheet posters were 27 X 41; all Portals were about the same size as your poster, 29 X 31. The 1931 in the corner is another indication of the provenance of this piece. If the lower border were whole, you would see the address of Portal, which includes a zip code. Zip codes weren't around until the early Sixties. I know you had no intent to defraud, but I've been collecting posters for over 45 years, and this is absolutely a Portal reprint, worth perhaps 10-25 bucks in its present condition. Prints in better shape actually sell for $50-100 for some titles. Did you find any other posters back there? Hopefully, they left a few of the real deals in that dusty back room! Hopefully, the seller will get the point. Rick and I couldn't be more clear (and, while i haven't read Rick's email, I'm sure he was unfailingly polite.)

Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
As Greg gathered, my first email was extremely polite, thinking that the seller would stop the auction. When that didn't occur, I sent a second email that was a quite a bit more firm, letting the seller know that she was, in fact, committing a fraudulent act by listing the poster as original and requesting that she stop the auction immediately. I asked her point blank if she felt right selling a worthless poster to some unsuspecting buyer for at least $300 and possibly much more. She has yet to reply to my second email.

Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
Okay, so now she has a note in red at the bottom of her pics of the Portal Dracula now stating NOTE;There has been quite a few Emails regarding this posters origins.We found this Poster in a back room of a 20s era Movie Theater when We were in there searching for the theaters audio equiptment and speakers.We showed large,clear images so You can decide for Yourself.We also accidently used the auction template from the previous auction which says No Reserve The reserve is 299.50.Thanks,Sharon Of course, she has also been informed of the poster's pedigree which she is 'conveniently' not disclosing. So I am now going to let her know that as the poster IS a reprint and NOT 'ORIGINAL 1931' as stated in the first word of her auction title, if she doesn't stop and relist the auction I am going to notify Ebay. I think Rick's approach was the right one inasmuch as he gave her enough rope to save or hang herself. She is clearly choosing the latter so I can't see how it's ethical not to attempt to stop her from actively harming a potential collector who is about to get burned.

Rick, here's what I just sent to her: Hi, I just saw your auction and whether you know it or not, you are selling an obvious 1960's reproduction from Portal Productions as an Original 1931 Dracula Movie Poster. Sure, this is an 'original REPRODUCTION' but it IS a reproduction and NOT an Original 1931 Dracula Movie Poster! And now that you know it is a reproduction, if you do not stop this auction today and relist it in the proper 'reproduction' auction section I will be contacting Ebay.

Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
One thing she is doing is displaying all the Questions from other members for all to see. Those make it very clear that the poster is a Portal. She would be better off just ending the auction and listing it again with the correct description in the correct category.

Sure, this is an 'original REPRODUCTION' but it IS a reproduction and NOT an Original 1931 Dracula Movie Poster! And now that you know it is a reproduction, if you do not stop this auction today and relist it in the proper 'reproduction' auction section I will be contacting Ebay. If you continue with this auction as an ORIGINAL, you are consciously misrepresenting your auction by omitting facts that should be revealed to bidders simply to make a buck. And that is fraud, plain and simple.

Before I even received that from her, I filed a report through eBay about the situation, then sent her a third email with the final line being How would you like to buy something on eBay thinking it was worth hundreds of dollars only to find out later it was worthless? I just received an email back from eBay's Safe Harbor dept thanking me for my report and saying they'll investigate the situation. We'll see. -- New year...new news.

Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
I liked the question at the bottom from John asking if she would take $600 as a Buy It Now thinking he was going to steal an original DRACULA One Sheet. Even on Fleabay these days, you're not going to steal a DRACULA One Sheet. Hi will you take 600 as a buy it now email or call 281-537-1762 Thanks John I guess you can't blame the guy for trying!!! But if you want to start off the new year with something really juicy, check out this DRACULA One Sheet!! It's the real deal! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemrd=1item=120351444829ssPageName=STRK:MESE:ITih=002 Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 10:38:34 -0500From: rixpost...@aol.comsubject: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?To: mop...@sol03.american.edu This poster seems to be getting a lot of attention---6 bids with 4 days to go--- for being what appears to be a Vintage Portal reproduction.
