I hate when they say that the poster looks worse in their digital image than it does in person. How come they never say it looks *BETTER* in their digital image than it does in person? For that matter I can't count the number of times that an eBay image of something I purchased just "happened" to

hmmm. When adjectives are on occasion inserted in the headings, or extra time is spent explaining why a director is significant, what make a certain, sci-fi film unique over many of the others, why James Whale counts, or Edgar Ulmer, or why a film is crime and not noir, as a seller,

i agree, lumi... there is nothing worse than finding one line about the poster and its condition, and then, literally, an 8x10 cut and paste from wikipedia about the actors, plot, director, related films, etc. this, to me, is diversionary, to a degree... why bother with all this information

Hey, Freeman: There's absolutely nothing wrong with a concise paragraph giving the context and significance of a film (I do it myself). The keyword is "concise." It's the people who cut-and-paste whole pages of text from imdb or wherever into every single listing (including exhaustive cast list

I think sellers use the "cut and paste" method, because it helps some buyers with their searches. I often put the word "radio" in my poster searches, and other buyers might be searching for some obscure actor. These search terms could show up in the wikipedia description. -rk On Jan 10, 20
