900 rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets closing in 12 hours with lots of great titles!

[Bruce]

We have 900 rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets (all guaranteed to be originals!) at auction that are getting ready to close, and there are some excellent ones, but also lots of inexpensive ones as well. There are just 12 hours to go before they start to end TONIGHT Thursday, August 4th.

I just looked over the current prices on these just about to end items, and the prices on many of them are really hard to believe! With just 12 hours to go, the 900 rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets include a wackadoodle 89 that have no bid at all, 309 that are still languishing at just $1 each or have no bid, a silly 351 that are $2 each or under, and a Mt. Everest-like 482 that are $4 each or under! THAT'S RIGHT, WELL OVER HALF OF THESE ITEMS ARE CURRENTLY $4 EACH OR UNDER (AND ONE THIRD OF THE ITEMS ARE CURRENTLY $1 EACH OR HAVE NO BID!), AND THAT INCLUDES A LOT THAT MOST DEALERS WOULD ASK $10, $20 OR MORE FOR!

IF YOU WANT TO BUY ORIGINAL RELEASE ONE SHEETS FROM THE BEST MOVIES OF THE PAST 20 YEARS, AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO FEAR YOU ARE GETTING STUCK WITH A REPRO (or have it arrive in a crushed tube), BUT ALSO DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY AN ARM AND A LEG TO DO SO, THEN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS IS FOR YOU. BECAUSE YOU CAN BUY MANY OF THESE POSTERS FOR FAR UNDER WHAT YOU MIGHT PAY FOR A REPRO, AND HAVE A GUARANTEED ORIGINAL!

Of course, once you get OVER just $4, you start hitting lots and lots of "better" titles, but an awful lot of those are currently at VERY reasonable prices, far under what some of them have sold for in the past (the ones we can find any record of selling in the past!) including:

Are you tired of auctions for millionaires only where the items have a "round up the usual suspects" feel to them, and there is a "pay retail or you can't buy" philosophy behind the auctions, and the same items return to the auction block over and over and over? Well, we have the antidote for you! 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 our leading "competitor" NEVER auctions a single item for less than FIFTEEN DOLLARS, due to their outrageous $14 minimum buyers premium).

But wait! There's even more! If you are one of the 6,200+ members of our weekly e-mail club (and if you are not, you can join right now at http://www.emovieposter.com/mail/clubsignup.php!), you get great bonuses if you purchase just 10 or 15 or 20 of these items, and we even pay the U.S. shipping on the bonuses (if you live outside the U.S., you pay the difference between U.S. shipping and the actual cost of getting them to you).

Don't forget to check out our 900 rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets (all guaranteed to be originals!) sometime BEFORE they end TONIGHT Thursday, August 4th, (but you only have 12 hours left to do so, because they start ending at 7 PM CST TONIGHT, so hustle over there right now!) by going to http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/14.html

I just looked over the prices with a couple of hours to go, and I'm not a religious man, but Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are those prices low! Most of them are still far less than the cost of a reproduction! Buy any 20 and join our club and get 15 books that retail for $300 as a bonus!

For those of us, idiots, who collect modern posters, Bruce's auctions are a good reminder that we are not such morons after all.  I am always amazed at what some recent titles can fetch nowadays.  Fascinating, really.

[Bruce]

Hey, it is absolutely the strongest part of the hobby right now. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if someday we see a catalog auction with the "Thierry" collection, and it goes for a million bucks!

Of course, by then, with our politicians spending like there is no tomorrow, a million bucks MIGHT buy you a nice car!

Bruce

[eatbrie]

Which era do you think sells the most and for the most money, today?  I'd say the 80s, but I'd like to hear it from you.

T

[Bruce]

Most collector interest is the 1990s and 2000s. But most appreciation (price rise) right now is prime 1970s and 1980s. Of course it is mostly the "better" titles. The "cheese" (sorry, Thierry) is mostly going nowhere.

Most 1960s and earlier items have leveled off at best. Look at Heritage's results (even assuming the buyers paid every time) for proof.

But, as usual, the only time that counts is the last ten minutes.  Everything I was looking at went from bargains to market value right at the end, just like always.

I have been the underbidder on that Cotton Club International multiple times and was determined to finally win it.  I did, but right until the end it looked like I could be getting a bargain.  Someone extended the bidding twice and the final price was fair, but absolutely at market value.

[eatbrie]

Which goes to say, once again... NEVER BID EARLY!

I actually think Cotton Club went for a descent price tonight.

Which of you bastardos got the Ed Wood International?
PM me and I will send you my address so it can come home where it belongs.

I noticed you put in an appearance there as well.  The final was fair, but they have been going for $110-130 of late, so $98 was a good but not great price.  Now the $74 it was at with 30 seconds left would have been good for bragging rights.

I'm actually pretty happy I finally snagged one.

[eatbrie]

I already own this poster, and I know its value, so if I can snag one at a low price, I try to.  Obviously, I would have not gone higher than I did, but I would have been very happy to own a 2nd copy for $50.

For those of you who did not get all you wanted, we added a heap o' daybills (plus Germans, French LC sets and more) last night. I know there are a lot of daybill collectors on this forum, so be sure not to miss these!

Thelma and Louise for $18?  Man these newer posters had some traction.  I need to start buying lots of newer posters and send them straight to Bruce for resale...
