Hey guys I had to register here (and hopefully will be an active member to this awesome place, so much good info here!) to reinforce the views on Egbert (dealing with him under movieposterbargains) by sharing my first, and last experience with him.I wanted to buy a few different posters, most notably the Inception one he has for sale right now, which after coming here and reading up a bit on him I am skeptical as to weather or not they're originals. I recently ordered 2 Inception posters from another seller for a GREAT deal but they arrived trashed so I have to find others. So I asked if there was a way I could get discount shipping and pay for them individually. Basically meaning if I wanted to buy 2 posters, I would pay for one plus the main shipping cost, then the other immediately after with the extra shipping, so 2 payments. I asked this because I have 2 different sources of funding I was going to use through PayPal. Direct transfer from a bank account and a credit card. Not an outrageous request right?Well after it taking MANY back and forth messages over 2 days trying to explain what I wanted to do I finally had to spell it out step by step. After doing so I was told it was some sort of "violation of PayPal regulations". Another few back and forth messages and I think he finally got it and then told me that, well let me quote it:"wasting like 15 minutes of my time on like 20 dollars of stuff yeah that makes much more sense right trying to get me to do this time wasting stuff for 20 bucks of stuff when its ludicrously easy to avoid bothering me with"Now sifting through the atrocious grammar he was basically telling me that my simple request as to send boom boom 2 quick invoices for 2 different products was a waste of his time, not worth the time, and a bother. I still get a kick out of the fact that he thinks 15 minutes isn't worth a sale, and he thinks that helping me pay for his product that I'm willing to buy is a waste of time. How do people of this IQ and poor business sense have the ability to own businesses and/or companies and make money. It baffles me beyond belief.I honestly can't see how this guy makes any money when he's got this kind of attitude. Just goes to show how bad the world is I guess.I've only just started buying movie posters, I'm not a collector so to speak but I will buy a bunch that I like and put them up, and I have to say I'm extremely thankful to have found this forum to avoid people like this guy.
I was mistaken,
I wouldnt touch it Harry. There are very few people I would buy a mint looking rolled Blade Runner insert from, and a random ebay seller isnt one of them. That isn't to say the guy is dishonest. It's pretty possible he has no idea what a minty what it is how to distinguish one from an original. Of course, it would be interesting to see what he would do if he was educated. But in order to prove its a minty white, you would have to buy it first. So its a catch 22 and not really worth the trouble. Also worth noting is the item location (New York). Obviously, these things have spread like a case of the at a swingers convention, but the epicenters are Rochester, NY and Claremore (Tulsa), OK. Who knows how many comic/pawn/collectible shops that douche bag has been in hawking his wares. Its probably reasonable to assume a higher frequency in these areas than anywhere else
But you are safe now...here in good ol' APF. Welcome!
Dont be afraid to ask those questions. No matter what they are. I have both posted and pmed quite a few of what I thought were"stupid questions". There are no stupid questions.
Does anyone know anything about movieposterkings on eBay?
The ironic thing is that before our deal went "south", he referred me to this website before I became a member here.

123-liquidations is a joke. Avoid him at all cost. I bought around 15 posters from him all at once. He packaged them poorly inside a used 4x4x28 corrugated brown box. This box looked like it was at least 20 years old and there was no rigidness left in the cardboard. Needless to say, the posters arrived damaged. I returned the posters to him and his response was how do I know you didn't send back a box of moldy bananas. Never got a refund on $700.00 worth of posters I paid for from him. I had to file a claim with my credit card company and luckily they covered my loss. I am not sure if they ever went after him for the money or not. Paypal was worthless as they would not offer any support at all. 123-liquidations is the equivalent of Carson Cochren with Greg Eggberts personality. I was on the verge of making a trip to New York where he is from and paying him an unfriendly visit. He's a fucking joke.
