Three times EVERY week we auction hundreds of items that sell for low, low prices (we actually sell lots and lots of items for $1 and $2, and around half of all that we auction goes for $14 and under (and those are pretty evenly spread between $1 and $14), and our leading 'competitor" NEVER auctions even ONE item for less than FIFTEEN DOLLARS, due to their outrageous $14 minimum buyers premium).
BUT JUST A FEW TIMES A YEAR WE HOLD "MINI/MAJOR" AUCTIONS, AND THOSE CONTAIN EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE VALUES!
Sunday's 605 linenbacked posters (Part I of our incredible Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auction), closing THIS AFTERNOON (not at night, like our Tuesday and Thursday auctions), on June 12th, represent REALLY incredible values, and that includes a lot of really good items, and yet many of these are currently languishing at low, low, prices!
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL THE MANY SPECIAL AUCTIONS GOING ON THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT THE PRICES ON MANY OF THESE ITEMS ARE SO LOW AS TO BE POSITIVELY INSANE, AND UNLIKE OTHER AUCTIONS, WHICH HIT YOU WITH SKYHIGH BUYERS PREMIUMS AND SHIPPING AFTER THE BIDDING CLOSES, WE HAVE NO BUYERS PREMIUMS, WE ONLY CHARGE THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING, AND WE GIVE WONDERFUL BONUSES THAT TURN GOOD DEALS INTO GREAT DEALS!
With just 7 hours to go, these 605 linenbacked posters include a CRAZY 44 that are $15 each or under (and all of these are linenbacked!), an INSANE 89 that are $20 each or under, a MIND-BLOWING 164 that are $29 each or under, and a MOUNT EVEREST-LIKE 199 that are still $49 each and under! THAT'S RIGHT, ONE THIRD OF THESE ITEMS ARE $49 EACH OR UNDER, AND THAT INCLUDES A LOT OF GOOD ITEMS THAT MOST DEALERS WOULD ASK $100 OR MORE FOR, AND EVERY ONE OF THESE ITEMS ARE LINENBACKED (and most are way under the cost of linenbacking alone)!
Some may say they can't afford to spend money on "frivolous" items like these right now, but I say you can't afford NOT to, both because many prices are lower than you could possibly imagine, and this opportunity might not pass this way again anytime soon, and also because THESE paper items seem far more likely to hold their value than our paper MONEY which erodes in value with each passing week! And when you add in the incredible bonuses we offer, you really can't lose!

In these days of high starting bids or fourteen dollar minimum buyers premiums, it is a sight for sore eyes to see 605 linenbacked posters at such low, low prices with just 7 hours to go! Why not declare independence from those dealers that have sky high $14 buyers premiums, overgraded items, nosebleed shipping (and they don't combine) etc, etc, etc?

INCREDIBLE! Every buyer from ANY of the parts of our "Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auction " receives a great full-color printed t-shirt as a free bonus (even if you only purchase one $1 item)!
Every buyer in this special auction will receive a great full-color T-shirt which shows the image from the LAWRENCE OF ARABIA pre-awards "camel" one-sheet included in this auction (we will only be making as many t-shirts as there are different buyers in these auctions, so it will be a VERY limited edition, and likely will become a "collector's item" in its own right!).
There's even more! If you are one of the 6,100+ members of our weekly e-mail club (and if you are not, you can join right now at
https://www.emovieposter.com/club/settings.php), then we offer you OUR BEST ADDED BONUS OFFERS, EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEMBERS OF OUR WEEKLY E-MAIL CLUB WHO BUY FROM ANY OF THE THREE PARTS OF THE CURRENT SUMMER 2011 MINI/MAJOR AUCTION!
It should be crystal clear to everyone reading the below that I want to make bonus offers with the current Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auctions, so that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU READING THIS will find it "irresistible" to get one or more items from any of the three parts of this auction (these offers are IN ADDITION TO our great limited edition t-shirt you get for purchasing any one item in any of the three parts), and that many of you will make the effort to get FIVE or more items from the three parts combined, so that you can get bunches of added bonuses!
BELOW I DESCRIBE THE SPECIAL BONUSES FOR THOSE WHO PURCHASE A COMBINED TOTAL OF ANY FIVE OR MORE ITEMS IN THE THREE PARTS OF THE CURRENT SUMMER 2011 MINI/MAJOR AUCTION.
When you receive the below bonuses, (in one or several hefty boxes) you will truly think we have lost our minds to have given you all these wonderful items ABSOLUTELY FREE! Know that we will pay the cost of Media Mail to all those in the U.S., but those outside the U.S. will either have to pay the difference between U.S. Media Mail and the actual cost of sending the bonuses to them (or they can have the items sent for free via Media Mail to a friend or relative in the U.S.).
Here is a breakdown of the bonuses we are giving:
* Buy 5 items TOTAL from any of the three parts and get the 9 Vintage Hollywood Posters books
* Buy 6 items TOTAL from any of the three parts and get the 9 Vintage Hollywood Posters books, the Learn About Movie Posters book and our Movie Poster Sales Results Megapack

How great a deal is this? The 9 Vintage Hollywood Posters books originally retailed for $180, the Learn About Movie Posters book originally retailed for $29.95 and our Movie Poster Sales Results Megapack originally retailed for $60, plus a set of our remaining 9 in-print books which originally retailed for $180, plus Crime Scenes which originally retailed for $35, plus Hollywood Posters I to VI which originally retailed for $120, plus The Movie Poster Book which originally retailed for $11.95, plus Illustration Magazine #6 which originally retailed for $9 (out of print special Bob Peak issue), plus the flip book edition of Reel Art which originally retailed for $11.95 (contains all of the images from the
table edition). Plus, almost all of these are long out of print, and good luck finding them somewhere else, but you can get them at no cost to you at all, simply by buying 5 to 12 items in this mini/major auction.
ALL TOGETHER, THE SET OF BONUSES FOR BUYING ANY TWELVE ITEMS ADD UP TO AROUND SIX HUNDRED FORTY DOLLARS AT THEIR ORIGINAL RETAIL. Please note that there is the tiniest chance we may run out of one of the above bonus items (because we can't know for certain how many people will purchase multiple items, and because many of these are in ever-dwindling supply!), but if that were to happen (and it is very unlikely), then we will substitute an item of equal or greater value!
ONE FINAL AMAZING BONUS OFFER: In the past, we have given the single club member that buys THE GREATEST NUMBER OF ITEMS FROM ALL THREE PARTS OF OUR CURRENT SUMMER 2011 MINI/MAJOR AUCTION COMBINED ALL of the items listed above for those who purchase twelve or more items, and we also gave that person an incredible "GRAND PRIZE".
But we realize that only one person wins that and others are disappointed, so we made a special arrangement with Todd Spoor, publisher of The World's Rarest Movie Posters (which focuses on 30" x 40"s and 40" x 60"s, and which retails for $40), and we will give EVERY person who purchases 18 or more items from all three parts combined a first edition copy of this great book (plus all of the above bonuses for buying 12 or more items!).
But we will still give a great grand prize to the club member who buys the greatest number of items in all three parts combined, which is:
*FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS (at our current retail) of VINTAGE MOVIE POSTERS from the fixed price items section of our site (OUR choice only, so no requests!)
*a FIRST EDITION SHRINK WRAPPED COPY of "GRAVEN IMAGES", the great full-color book of selections from the incredible horror movie poster collection of Ron Borst (this is a first edition hardcover still in the original shrinkwrap, and it has been sold out for many years and I see dealers asking $250 or more for copies of it!). I have just a couple of these left, so the one I give may have tears in the shrinkwrap and a few scuffs on the cover, but it will be otherwise unused!
*a SECOND EDITION of "Children of the Night", the great
table book by Jim Gresham (which focuses on 1930s and 1940s Universal horror), which retails for $65
*a FIRST EDITION of "They're Here!", the great new
table book by Jim Gresham (just like his great Children of the Night Book, but focused on 1950s horror/sci-fi), which retails for $65
*a FIRST EDITION of "Clint Eastwood Icon: The Essential Film Art Collection", the great new
table book by David Frangioni, which retails for $40
*a WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT WAS!, the great long out of print softcover book about blaxploitation movies (we have just a couple left!)
*a First Tarzan of the Apes Facsimile (complete 220+ page. exact facsimile edition of the very first publication of "Tarzan of the Apes" from 1912, and we have just a couple left)
*a limited edition hardcover (signed and numbered edition of 300) of HOLLYWOOD AND EARLY CINEMA, one of the finest auctions ever held, and we have very few left!
*a limited edition hardcover (signed and numbered edition of 300) of ROCK, POP & CLASSIC CINEMA POSTERS, two incredible auctions in one catalog, and we have very few left!
We have made similar offers to the above in our past few mini/major auctions, but only in our last mini/major auction did we add in $500 of posters, and that definitely increased the number of people who wanted to win the grand prize (and rightly so). If a person were to focus on the least expensive items in each of the three parts, they might well be able to win 50 or more for just a $10 to $20 per poster, and they would surely get the bonus t-shirt, all the items for winning 12 or more items, the great The World's Rarest Movie Posters, and they would have an excellent chance of winning the Grand Prize as well. In the past, some of our most dedicated buyers have clearly made an extra effort to win this Grand Prize, and now that FIVE HUNDRED dollars of posters has been added to it, it will be very interesting to see who wins it!
