Perhaps he will be SHOCKED to discover there is a repro described as original?

I lost my first auction. It got too high and I had to walk. Oh well, maybe next time.

Sorry dude, but you are in the club now, no denying it.

Oral sex is still sex.

And you can go all the way next time.

I've got my eye on several others, so it won't be long before I give it another go.

Depends on if you were doing ebay or one of the weekly auctions (emovieposter, movieposterbid, heritage, etc).  If the later, I find that a couple of posters always take on a life of their own and the price goes crazy.  At the same time, others that are equally desirable, just sit there and can be picked up cheap.

There are good examples in Bruce's database where a poster goes for $100+ and a few weeks later, the same poster in similar condition goes for $30.

It was ebay.

Very true. I have been on both ends of that numerous times. Happily usually the lower end.

"There are good examples in Bruce's database where a poster goes for $100+ and a few weeks later, the same poster in similar condition goes for $30."

Oddly though, there are also some where it goes the opposite way. It is all in who was there bidding that day. You want to be there the day Mr Deep Pockets is sleeping, or at the movies, and you can't predict that, so you want to bid $30 each time, knowing most times you will be blown away, until you finally get that $30 super bargain.

In this hobby, it is the PERSISTENT bird that catches the worm!

I like you...When many revert to the so easy butt kiss, you dont.

Yes it is.  Dave's probably unaware that it's a reprint, much like Heritage, which has sold three of them.

Its been a few days and I have seen him reading this thread at least twice...

Is he still unaware?  

Or maybe the poster isnt a fake?.... I would really love to know.

What is the skinny on the white foamcore used in HPFs economy frames? Is it acid free like the archival frames setups or just mostly acid free. Are they good enough or should I pony up the dough for the archival if I want them to remain in perfect condition "forever".

[erik1925]

It sounds like unless you upgrade to the archival, acid-free foamcore, this is just your basic kind of foamcore.

Best thing would be to email Sue and ask her: email@hollywoodposterframes.com

i warrior i saw you come into the chat after the fact sry i missed ya :-( come back laters

[DreamWarrior]

I was shooting IMs back and forth with Jeff about the auction and thought I would see if anyone else might be doing the same in the chat. There are probably a lot of people here that bid with different names on emovie and like to keep to themselves during an auction.

[erik1925]

Kev,

Im sure identities are kept under wraps by many... it heightens the mystery, as well, especially when certain repeat, high bidders walk away with handfuls of posters after each auction.

For sure, it's all part of the fun.

, but unless you're an uninformed millionaire, you can do much better for your dollar.

just read this thread and that line made me laugh, thats all really.
even though i quite like the idea of having a few folded posters linen backed, so they would look nice to display. the likely hood of this happening is slim to say the least.
 i would also say none of my posters would be worth any more linen backed or not
