The Google God has revealed that Mark Mountford is Mark27766 on Ebay:

Looks like he was selling small obvious repro posters:

£90,000!?

Wow...either a lot of idiots out there or a lot of people who do not care about authenticity

True. But there could be also a lot of people that have read the positive reviews on ebay and thought they were in safe hands. And the worse thing is that he is a town councillor

I clicked on a handful of his previous auctions and the ones I read all clearly stated that he was selling reprints or reproductions done on good quality paper. The descrips didn't read as though he was passing these off as genuine or real posters. I think he even called them "prints."

So from the article, he was ultimately nabbed for copyright issues or illegal use of company logos, sounds like?

It says poster business ...I assumed it was for copyrights and for selling fakes too....

So he sold reproductions and advertised them on ebay as originals, too? That's SO NOT good.

I think he got nailed purely on copyright infringement. So, more than likely a copyright owner got the ball rolling on getting him. There are tons of people doing this right now so it would be interesting to find out exactly what put the spotlight on him.

erik1925 · « **Reply #307 on:** April 25, 2013, 01:48:17 PM »

When i read the article, it seemed to indicate that his use (and possession) of actual company logos might have added to his undoing.

Does anyone know how many different names movieposterbargains uses on eBay? I was just poking around and found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOBBIT-UNEXPECTED-JOURNEY-MOVIE-POSTER-DS-27x40-GANDALF-ADV-LOTR-BNS-/130880189818?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e7911357a

Then found this from dragonbirdlw:

Notice any similarities? Geez.

Another pilock to avoid... garyrich50

I bought this Rolled double bill, at a reasonable price, so paid his expensive £6.95 postage thinking he may have to buy a tube. The poster came in a used 3rd hand envelope..... Yes Envelope, he said it was the only way he could post it for that price. It would have cost loads more if he had to send it rolled... He never even asked me, he just folded it up and sent it in an embarrassingly shagged envelope. I asked about what he was going to do about it, I have not had a reply..

The name of that Wanker again... garyrich50

I should post a pic of the poster all folded up....

He folded a rolled poster to send it cheaply... That sux

paul waines · « **Reply #311 on:** July 20, 2013, 01:29:19 PM »

And that's very expensive postage for a folded poster, normally around £3.50/4.00..

Uff...that's terrible... Hope you get a refund PRONTO..what a flipping

Here's another goose who should know better - george004

Apparently excellent condition means a 1 inch tear and creases. (I think Rick got a nice sized hole in his poster).
Postage at $18 consists of single layer cardbaord cut to the same size as the poster.
Poor description and worse packaging is what you'll get.

And Paul what a twat!

But still amazed at what you Brits consider to be "expensive shipping costs" - I would take the conversion on £6.95 any day!

Lucky for us, bread over there was expensive back in the day.....otherwise we Aussies would still be living there.

£6.95 is extortionate Chris,I could send you a poster cheaper than that (folded).

It is all in perspective Chris, but the point was he had enough money to send it rolled and Special delivery, and still have change...

I've got the poster in the Patented Waines Poster press at the moment, but I'm afraid it will now always be a folded poster... 46 years it spent it's life rolled, then this Tosser gets hold of it....

So he basically changed the history of the poster with his actions.

A good tradesman like yourself will be giving him a lesson.

Shit runs uphill motherfucker!

Give him Hell Paul!

AdamCarterJones · « **Reply #322 on:** July 25, 2013, 08:57:25 PM »

Ah, Paul, I feel the pain RE that poster.
Common sense would have been to contact you and say "Hey, look, I know I said postage would be this much, but could you send a little more as it is going to cost more than I thought to send".

Postage isn't cheap now for rolled posters in the UK.
Small parcels are automatically £5.20 and that's before adding a signature and the cost of the packaging.
I think a signature is now £0.95 so that's £6.15, then the cost of a very good quality tube is around £1.60 in bulk (around £3.00 when bought separately) so there's a minimum of £7.75 and then for some there is the cost of actually travelling to the Post Office.

Yep - agree with all of that. It has stopped me buying cheapy posters on ebay unless I can get more than one in the tube.

Adam, if you're sending posters and want to save a few £, try parcel2go or parcelmonkey. I've found you get a tube delivered for around £4 and they'll pick it up from you rather than you having to go to the post office.

I recently went to post a tube to a friend in the US...it was one of Bruce's big strong tubes. Royal Mail wanted £50 to post it! Laughable. I went with Fedex using parcel 2 go and it was 'only' £24. That was for a fully tracked service and it was delivered in about 5 days. RM are just too pricey these days.

paul waines · « **Reply #324 on:** July 26, 2013, 11:35:01 AM »

I don't know Tob, I sent 3 posters, in a reasonable tube, and then put that inside a tube thicker than Bruces' . sent it to the U.S for £18, or £23 tracked.. with RM.

And don't forget I'm not their biggest fan!
