Welcome to APF luffy.
I`m pretty sure someone will have an answer for you,
I had a quick look on MPB and couldn`t find a Dark Knight for sale.
If you could post a link that be helpful..

No prob luffy, Have a look at this link and read through it. The thing that most puts me off,is that the seller has ten ready to go for sale,these are reasonably sought after posters and would seem a bit strange 1 person would own ten of them (although not impossible). http://movieposterauthenticating.com/wordpress/the-dark-knight/the-dark-knight-style-b/The people who helped supply this info are highly valued forum members too  Stew |

I dont think his supply (10) is the overall scary factor .. Especially with a film as new as this, its easy enough to acquire a lot of certain posters if you know the right people. The scary factor to me is that these can easily sell for 2-4x times what he is charging .. How many people do you know that willingly and openly sell something 50-75% off its potential value .. Especially with the new movie coming out this coming year and sales will pick back up again possibly increasing prices on these once again..

Another factor that might help you with your desicion luffy. (nice one fallen) The only other thing i would add,is also the picture on the website may not be the poster that turns up at your door. Stew |

Good call Stew.. Id almost guarantee thats a stock photo stolen from somewhere else .. Its always best to ask for pictures of the actual poster that youd be receiving. This helps sort out condition as well as authenticity not to mention you get to see how the seller reacts to your request. Any legitimate seller will see this as an acceptable request.

The point to be made here is that this is GREG 'CAPS LOCK' EGBERT.
Do not buy from him, he deals in fakes/repros/bootlegs scattered in and around originals, who knows the percent of real vs. fakes, and to be honest, who cares. Avoid.

I have a number of rare posters in qty of 10 or more |

How many people WHO ARE KNOWLEDGABLE DEALERS do you know that willingly and openly sell something 50-75% off its potential value ?? THE ANSWER: almost none unless there is some kind of hanky-panky going on and I agree with Ben.. when someone has a poor history, it usually is better to avoid them completely |

I`m not saying that its not improbable that many dealers as well as you Rich have multiple copies of various posters. I was leaving it up to luffy to make up his/her own mind regards wether they should buy from MPBargains. luffy did state that thru research the reputation of the seller is dubious. I believe luffy was asking should I take a chance on this.. I would also say NO.However the final decision,will be down to the buyer. Stew |

Quit blaming Greeks for everything bad that happens. We gave you lots of stuff. I, like many of my countrymen am a bit lazy so I wont start the VERY long list. Look us up on Wikipedia.  |
