It's for sale here, Harry. It's LB. I like Matt and I've bought stuff from filmartgallery before, but I don't think this poster should have been posted as a "latest acquisition" since it's not a personal acquisition.
Hmm, thats a tough point.
All I can do is come from MY POV, I am and have never been a full time dealer (Actually I lie I was for 6 months a few years ago). But most COLLECTORS at some stage need to sell, or want to sell. And the line between dealers and collects really is blurred, except in some cases (theres a few dealers around here who will admit they DO NOT COLLECT).
For me, I have many thousands of posters, and nearly ALL are for sale, I like to keep certain items/genres/directors/studios/whatever, and I also have over the years bought things, i like/want/think is undervalued/can flip for a buck/whatever.
I have items I bought 10+ years ago with only the intention to SELL, and still have them.
So. what I mean is, latest aquisitions, shouldn't be JUST for COLLECTORS, sellers are also BUYERS, and the best sellers are ALSO collectors. If they decide to put a $ on it and hope it sells. Good on em, they might even seek and rebuy again later (I have done many a time).
Its NOT us and THEM, and the good dealers are also those that love having anything special if its just for a few days, or weeks or months.
PLUS if it weren't for people selling, you would have.... hmm... kinda not many posters.
