So, after almost two months of waiting, I got tired of eBay telling me I had to leave feedback for Thomas Loce. As many of you already know, the poster was a pathetic reprint - like, a really pathetic one - Mel did an authentication here:
http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,1977.0.htmlI never left him feedback because he was at least courteous, but it always bothered me that somebody so infamous could have such strong positive feedback. So I locked my doors, drew the shades, and left him negative feedback. Not wanting to be called out for libel, I was as objective and honest as I could be.
This was only about an hour ago. Just a few minutes ago, I received a message in my inbox. He was clearly very displeased by the negative feedback.
To anybody who doesn't recall, he claimed when the poster first arrived to me that accidentally harboring reprints is an unavoidable aspect of selling movie posters implying that not only was it not his fault he was selling me an
obvious fake but that I should come to expect it for the rest of my collecting career. He then proposed that he give me a refund right away because he is apparently aware of his own reputation.
I still think everybody on this forum should buy one poster from him and leave him negative feedback, but that's just the Italian in me. I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully others will refrain from doing business with him in the future.
