Hello All,
I have Posterfix listed as a link on my website. I have had customers over
the years send me posters that Chris had restored and hadn't ever heard
anything negative about his business. When Andrea asked me about him as a
potential source for linenbacking, I told her my
Well played, Sue. You have always been fair and fair-minded to both
sides and Chris Cloutier's transgressions
are clearly egregious enough to warrant removing his link from your
page. I know you are not someone who
would support such poor behavior nor would you deserve any guilt by
Hey I'm quickly taking a break from my busy weekday to the following will
expose my obvious bias about everything Sue Heim does and says. When Sue
puts her stamp of judgment on anything, about 99 7/8ths of the time, I'm gonna
to go along without further review. The other 3/8ths makes her a
Like I have said before. I have had nothing but great service from Chris in
the past. This last order took a little long to get but with the exception of
the one poster (WHICH HE HAS AGREED TO FIX), his restorations and linen backing
has been top notch since I started using him. His responses
Exactly, Dave
The fact is, as I said to Sue privately, this is a very fragile hobby
literally and figuratively, and if you tolerate the kind of abuse
Cloutier or Joe Hernandez practiced,
then you are tacitly supporting it.Louie's confidence in Chris
Cloutier notwithstanding, late or
Thanks David, he is calling as we speak. So far today, he called 13
times in 45 minutes, leaving 5 messages. So far, I've only listened
to one and it was menacing. That was this morning.
Now he's calling again and again and again. Sent me a few more
emails, too. Can't wait to hear his
: [MOPO] Head's Up - POSTERFIX ALERT
I've been asked to make you all aware of the problems I've been having
with Chris Cloutier of Posterfix in Brooklyn. I initially checked him
out as he has a link on a MoPo members site. I was assured his work
was reputable and he didn't steal posters. I
I bought a poster from Posterfix on eBay a few years back
TOTAL EFEN DISASTER
first of all the poster was shipped in one of those triangular USPS
tubes.. well those idiots didn't put any packing material into the
tube.. just rolled the poster inside shipped
the tube came in bent almost in
Three things:
1. I love Richie Halengua
2. Alan doesn't know about the Posterfix disaster.
3. He knows I love Richie and he's OK with it ;)
Chris has until Friday to return my poster, which he now says is
undone. If he does what he claims he's going to do to it, I'll post a
jpg for
Now this is valuable info.
I had considered but never used this guy only because I did one thing
semi-intelligent in my life and deferred my poster restoration jobs
to those who knew more (Sue Heim and Freeman Fisher) and thus I was
never steered wrong in their restoration and linenbacking
still waiting for someone to send me a copy of the eugene hughes dvd. ILL PAY!

Andrea,
How can I believe that you really love Richie when you don't spell
his name right?
Speaking of Richie, I got some great items in his last comics/pulps/
art auction. (The one where most of the lots were stolen.) I
encourage anyone interested in that stuff to check out his next

I must say that I'm getting quite disappointed about this forum. I
gathered this was a forum for a group of people with shared interests
or professions in the area of poster collecting.
After boring post after post about politics with no OT-warning, now
we've come to the point that people's
I would like to ask my fellow MoPo member from the Netherlands what he would do
if he was in Andrea's situation OR in Chris Cloutier's situation --taking into
account that both have already talked and e-mailed each other. What would you
do? What would, in your view, be your definition of
Well David,
First I would try to figure out if there was any way in which I may
have been a contributing factor to seriously bad communication,
especially when the other party acknowledged that he was short in
their conversation. I would then say that it is not good business to
promise
** Wim -- your response to my what would you do? question exhibits -- on your
part -- and in my view only -- an extremely high tolerance for continued
negotiation when some of that has already been done. You think continued
discussion, e.g., Andrea asking, well, Chris, what are your thoughts
I had the same problem with a different restorer a couple of years ago. I can't
remember the exact name so I won't say. I won the restoration service on MPB at
a very low rate. I paid the winning bid amount and the posters to the
gentleman. After about six weeks or so I ask where the posters
