Re: [MOPO] Unsolicited praise we recently received from one of our buyers
indeed its like chalk and cheese!yes , here i must agree with this so called UK buyer , it's all bout chalk and cheese !filip (runbuffy on ebay , serious and truly painful experiences guaranteed !!) Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 07:26:51 -0500 From: brucehershen...@gmail.com Subject: [MOPO] Unsolicited praise we recently received from one of our buyers To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU We recently received the following from one of our customers in the United Kingdom: I just sent payment for my latest order. Thanks a lot for the continued amazing service. Every time i think you can't get better, you come up with some other devilish scheme to make buying posters easier (in this case, you combined my friend and my pay hold orders into a single tube to the UK which saved us both lots of money on shipping)! Thanks to all involved for making this much easier than by all rights it should be :) Also, I haven't used the new checkout, because I'm a pay hold foreign devil, but I can't wait until you get that going too! There is also the frequent buyers thingy too which is amazing (although i rarely qualify as I'm poor :( ha ha). I've only ever used [your competitor] once and it was a truly painful experience! I had never ordered from you at that time, and that experience also put me off from using you for a while until some one assured me that ordering from eMoviePoster.com WASN'T the same at all, and indeed its like chalk and cheese! i know some things do go cheap at [your competitor] once in a while, but the hassle of dealing with them from a foreign country is unbearable! Thanks again for top notch service with a smile :) I replied as follows: Thanks much for the kind words!You are correct in thinking that you can't use the checkout, but there are two people here working feverishly to make it so that you can (but of course, we can't know the non-U.S. shipping cost, because we let people combine so much and we only charge the actual cost, unlike almost all auctions which make non-U.S. shipping a HUGE profit center, but we are working to automate the shipping quotes part of it, which will speed things up quite a bit). We recognize that we need to do all we can to make buying from us both enjoyable and not cost an arm and a leg or you will buy less from us (and we wonder how other auctions don't seem to realize the same thing)!

Is MOPO now the appropriate venue to start reposting feedback comments? If so, I've got about 3,000 on Ebay I could post here for everyone's reading pleasure and I'm sure the many other dealers on this board could do the same. Bruce, you are out of control.

But if you find one or more of them lacking in any way, consider the following unsolicited message we recently received from one of our buyers, and if you are one of the very few movie poster collectors who isn't a regular bidder with us, consider placing one order with us, and see why our business generates the following kinds of comments on a regular basis: To Angie and all those at eMoviePoster: You are the BEST. In fact, the reason I buy thru you ( and ONLY YOU) is that you give me absolute certainty on all engagements and purchases. I've followed you from eBay to emovieposter.com and I'll never go anywhere else. WHY? Honesty Reliability Truthfulness AND, your shipping and packaging in the BEST! It's like buying a new APPLE product. The packaging, the care and attention. I can't fault it. The PAY HOLD feature is a real incentive for me personally. It allows me the freedom to trade as I want without incurring the substantial cost. Then, when I do get my PAY AND HOLD delivered, its pure joy. As the mailman delivers my sturdy mother lode of tube or pouch, it feels like Christmas. The only thing that gets me a bit is your auto-response engines. Man, you can make them cooler. Hey, I'm not a huge trader, but I am regular watcher/bidder. I'm just missing a bit of the human interaction. Now I dig you guys run a HUGE business, but you know that ultimately what any customer wants is a direct personal relationship. P.S. Keep it up. If you ever need a testimonial to your security, reliability and honesty for international buyers, I'm your man. Incidentally, I replied to his comment about our auto-responses as follows: This is Bruce (and I assure this is Bruce personally!). I too really miss those long ago days when I only had a couple of thousand customers and I could reply to every one of them personally, and I was on a first name basis with almost all of them! But the business has grown so much (34,000+ customers) that :auto-emails are a necessity! Myself, I really hate when I get letters that are supposedly from someone, and they have personal touches inserted, but you can tell that it was machine written. So we go in a different direction. We make our automated e-mails absolutely sound like they ARE automated, so that people can tell that they are, and that they shouldn't take anything in them personally, IF IT DOESN'T APPLY TO THEM SPECIFICALLY. Of course, in these days when most people skim things, some people can misunderstand our auto-messages, but overall, the vast majority of our 34,000+ buyers are able to distinguish between automated e-mails and regular ones, and can work with our system well. If we didn't have those automated e-mails, then we would surely have to either have LOTS more employees, or way fewer auctions, and I don't imagine anyone wants that (because with lots more employees, we would have to start charging buyers premiums!). You CAN call in any time and pay for your order that way and talk to our super-friendly people, but of course you need to recognize that they are also super-busy, so they won't be able to talk for a long time, but I know that we have far better customer service than any other company I know of. Which brings me to your comments! Lately, we have had a series of events that have put extra stress on everyone here (mostly non-work-related stuff, like employees with close family members having grave illnesses, etc), so it really is wonderful to get an e-mail like this.

Re: [MOPO] Unsolicited praise we recently received from one of our buyers
Because dealers post to MoPo WAY MORE than collectors - and since some of those same dealers like to post chummy testimonials about how super-fantabulous-awesome their dealer-friends are - I don't see what in the sam-hell is wrong with anyone - copying-and-pasting unsolicited testimonials from RETAIL CUSTOMERS about their operations - for the marketing benefit of the huge majority of MoPo members who are lurkers. Again - testimonials about dealers from other dealers - don't matter to buyers - as much as testimonials from actual customers about those same dealers. And for you lurkers out there - keep in mind that PUBLIC posts - my own included - can seem disproportionately blown up to make you believe that thousands of people are for or against a particular view - when in fact MoPo is a tiny group of only 375 members. -d.
