Its hard to understand what your motivation is for bringing this to our attention. If you are disappointed, return the poster. Don't haggle over the price as you will never be satisfied -- and you will just annoy the seller. If you only lose $10 on a failed poster transaction, consider

One of the best parts of this hobby is that for every $1000 poster there are hundreds of hidden gems for less than $100. Often these are lesser titles with great stars, lesser images from great films, historic (or dated) titles have lost their appeal, or great artwork from obscure films or by

Seems like that auction results of the last 2 years from eMovieposter.com and HA.com suggest the low end of this range is really $3K. That of course would be retail pricing -- with consignment costs, the seller would naturally receive (perhaps considerably) less. Evan - Original Message
