Yeah, about 8"x11".

a flyer? what did that sell for?

eatbrie · « **Reply #8251 on:** January 31, 2016, 04:42:59 PM »

$250-$300... I was about to bid on it, I had my finger on the bid button, when I realized its size. Great design, but too small.

They saved the best for last with this one. The price was too high for even the mermaid admirers.

this was just another auction with a retailer selling wares at a price lower than their gallery prices and calling it an auction
makes you wonder what their retail gallery prices are!

eatbrie · « **Reply #8254 on:** January 31, 2016, 06:21:58 PM »

Well, actually, I think these prices are pretty close to their gallery prices. But if they run an auction, they need to start much lower, if only to make us think that we're getting it for cheap. They were probably banking on rarity, but it didn't work. An expensive poster is an expensive poster, even if it's never to be seen again.

Sounds odd only selling only 10℅ of auction items. Someone's head should roll... or some people have money and time to waste or auction house exposure is worth it... Or maybe it is still profitable.... what do I know

MoviePosterBid.com · « **Reply #8256 on:** January 31, 2016, 06:40:42 PM »

Steve, if they own all of the material, they just made sales. If the items were consignments, why waste the time?

T is correct with his last comment also " if they run an auction, they need to start much lower, if only to make us think that we're getting it for cheap."

that is the nature of an auction. Letting people set the price (within parameters - I no longer believe in $1 auctions for instance) by allowing them to get it at a reasonable bargain if there is no competition. It's a situation where the seller & the buyer both give something up (so to speak) "I'm willing to sell it to you at a low price, if you'll actually pay me, but if there are other bidders - I hope you will compete so that I can achieve a benefit by having allowed you to potentially get a bargain on my item."

Looks like the international community of poster collectors gave these guys a big F-U

I bet they barely broke even after paying liveauctioneers fees. Most of their posters were too small or had condition issues to command that sort of money and the 0% BP was just a ruse. Even the non-movie posters were ridiculous (if any of you were paying attention) i mean $200 for a Winter Fair poster, $150 for a detergent commercial? Glad i didn't waste a Sunday here although they do have a nice logo

I watched the bulk of it, but less so, when it got into the soap/shoes/necktie and smattering of travel posters that were closer to the end. The opening bids on everything for the most part, were pie in the sky openings. If I recall, I think the lowest opening bid, on just a few of the posters, was $80.00

To see the opening prices and passes on many of the opening lots, inc Alien, ESB, Close Encounters, Some Like IT Hot, etc, seemed to set the tone for things to come. $:-\$

erik1925 · « **Reply #8259 on:** January 31, 2016, 10:29:14 PM »

This one sold for $800.00.

Roman Holiday, from the 1960's release (per the auction description). The design didnt do much for me (or Audrey), imo.

This isn't really a "OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev...." other than it was one of the only lots that sold in the Budapest Gallery's auction today.

It's one of the coolest from today, IMO. Once Upon a Time in the West.

https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/43315830_once-upon-a-time-in-the-west-movie-poster

Totally agree with you. I thought this was the best, or one of the best of the lot. Size does matter though.... But the design is outstanding.

Only slightly less than the annual sell rate at the Hollywood Poster Auction in Columbus. And with the same familiar refrain of - opening prices/reserves are too high.
If you want to sell - then sell.

I own a bunch of those, mint condition. Time to sell?

The crazy thing is that 5 bidders are going at it. If it was a bidding frenzy between 2 people, like we see happening so often, I'd get it, but 5 people bid over $200 on a poster barely worth $100.

Well, it is the cream. Folded, but unused. NSS copy. No fold separations. No pinholes. About as good as a folded copy can be.

Still...

I expect it will sell there. Some rich guy who wants the best, and can afford it.

Do you know how many of those are out there, Jay? Mint like you said? A lot.

erik1925 · « **Reply #8269 on:** February 02, 2016, 06:55:56 PM »

Then why not hold out for a rolled (never folded) copy?

But for those with $$ to burn, it's easy, I guess.

erik1925 · « **Reply #8270 on:** February 02, 2016, 09:21:04 PM »

$315.00

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=4126931

And I think someone got a good deal @ 250.00

this is one sharp looking poster, IMO. Sounds to be a bit more rare, due to its release time frame.

T won't sell and he buys up duplicates to prevent others obtaing them. Though not sure how that theory works when prices get up too high.

eatbrie · « **Reply #8273 on:** February 02, 2016, 11:57:19 PM »

There is no theory. I'm just extremely lazy, and selling means digging, finding, packaging, shipping, and dealing with people, and that's way too much for me to handle. I like buying because it doesn't involve work. That's it.

I only buy duplicates if 1) I find a better copy or 2) if the price is so good I can't pass it up.

In the case of Raiders, I had a lot of credit with a store here in Hollywood (they've closed since) and they paid me off with multiple of many posters.

erik1925 · « **Reply #8274 on:** February 04, 2016, 10:34:56 PM »

Closed at $405.00 tonight.
